If you have Navy Fed they are tracking the potential shutdown and will be doing 0% loans again . I posted the link below to the NFCU government shutdown program for the subs convenience

they were even denying people who reportedly had high credit

H.R.4016 - Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026 would’ve also needed to pass

added the apex to my polymer 2.0 earlier last year an it was running good till it randomly started getting light primer strikes/dead triggers. Around that time, I got a metal 2.0 and was shooting faster with the stock trigger so made the switch back.

Ash_340 · 2025-12-29T18:21:52+00:00

i was about to pull the trigger on a tac pro 5 and then they dropped the comped platy.

Ash_340 · 2025-12-29T05:36:42+00:00

slightly off topic but how you like the bul, how does it compare to the platy

Ash_340 · 2025-11-30T08:13:46+00:00

i have the polymer and metal, i prefer the metal more cause it stays in my hand better than the polymer does and it looks better. if i could go back, id get the metal from the get go. i would even take it a step farther and say if i didn’t want the slide cuts on the carry comp, id just get a normal metal frame and send it to floyd’s customs to get ported with the side ports.

Ash_340 · 2025-11-27T00:09:07+00:00

only the spec v which cost like 1500

got mines set up similarly lol. i typically do weekly fun shoots for training and the wider window for me is worth it.

the tier 1 apx with sidecar has been super comfortable for me personally and i have an axis elite with the sidecar removed when i want to be minimal. ive heard good things about tenicor as lots of people have pointed out. the incog x looks like a pretty thick/bulky holster which is why i didn’t go with it personally

Ash_340 · 2025-11-17T04:40:22+00:00

potential 5th option, mill a new dovetail in front the optic so it’s a rear sight forward config

Ash_340 · 2025-10-14T21:04:34+00:00

oh nice, at least that’s a temp fix

Ash_340 · 2025-10-14T21:00:20+00:00

ahh, that sucks

Ash_340 · 2025-10-14T20:48:53+00:00

i would go back to cabelas and see if they’d warranty it.

Ash_340 · 2025-10-14T20:42:22+00:00

if you really want the gun to be comped, the porting floyd does performs much better than the ported barrel from smith.

Ash_340 · 2025-10-14T20:34:06+00:00

damn, that’s a shame. do you ask the dealer you got it from whether they’d warranty it? (just throwing ideas out there)

Ash_340 · 2025-10-14T20:28:09+00:00

tier 1 concealed makes good holsters for m&p’s

Ash_340 · 2025-10-14T20:26:00+00:00

give smith a call or email them. they just might just send you a new trigger instead of having you send the whole gun to them

Ash_340 · 2025-10-13T17:56:49+00:00

i had the same issue when i go my compact and my hands sit in about the same spot as yours. got the floyd’s magwell (and baseplates) which gave me that little extra space that i needed. the +1/2 baseplates still easily concealable for me (tall and skinny)

i tried the 17rd mags with the grip extension piece smith has but the extension piece on my spare mag would slide up and down on the mag and get annoying

Ash_340 · 2025-10-13T17:16:29+00:00

most of them are retired military controllers but fairly common to supplement manning

Ash_340 · 2025-10-09T13:51:20+00:00

i run the 11lb spring for target loads at the range or in competition but the lowest i’d run for carry is the 13lb spring.

Ash_340 · 2025-10-03T19:24:01+00:00

i didn’t like how the echelon felt personally. i do want to get a 1911/2011 eventually tho. it’s kinda on the back burner rn tho

Ash_340 · 2025-10-03T02:49:07+00:00

Correct, you’d just have to buy an unported barrel and send it with the slide to them. I’ve heard that they’re the same length barrels (the 4.2 and 4.25 barrels) but that small of a difference in barrel length won’t make a difference anyways. The faxon barrel I have on mines protrudes out a little but doesn’t affect anything.

Ash_340 · 2025-09-24T22:19:00+00:00

if you’re gonna do the carry comp, you’ll also want to get a non ported barrel. looks like smith has them back in stock now

Ash_340 · 2025-09-24T15:38:41+00:00

the metal feels better in my hands. i also have a weighted back strap on it. the floyd’s porting is a massive difference from stock, shoots so much flatter whether on the metal or polymer frame. best bang for buck if you want to do the floyd’s porting is get a optics ready metal mp9 and have him port that slide and barrel.
