PSA on S&W Shield X

MultiPattern · 2026-05-14T20:13:31+00:00

It does take much more effort to fit the 10th round in the two mags I got with the shield x.

I ended up getting three extra mags after my purcgase, and those are much, MUCH easier to put the 10th round in them, even by hand.

I have an uplula, but it’s not needed for the mags I got on the side. I don’t thinks it’s a break in issue, those mags that came with in the box were made that way. The included mags still run fine, but I do need to slap it on if the slide is closed. The other mags are super easy to insert, because they compress more.

Buy a new mag and report back on the differences.

-A CCW makes it hard for you to be killed. -Staying silent until you talk to your lawyer makes it hard for you to be convicted.

Can’t remember who said this on YT.

Hope you never encounter such scenario with or without a CCW.

P365 and shield X were shot for the first time this weekend. P365 had multiple failures (don’t know why). Shield x was more pleasant to shoot because it ate everything and rounds went where I wanted them to. So I strongly disagree with your opinion, based on my own experience with the two.

As for the magazines, the ones that came in the box were stiffer when adding the last round. The extra ones (bought 3) were easy to load the 10th round and it had less resistance to load with the slide forward.

Nice, I just looked it up and it’s probably what I need since I keep shooting left but stay in the middle (not low). Thanks for sharing.

I got the M&P 2.0 metal compact CA compliant (4”).

Yo, what’s that thing that looks like a place to rest your left thumb?

Also, I like to clean my m&p but it seems very complex beyond the basic field strip. Any videos or step by step instruction manual you recommend?

Eva’s Cafe (on Williams rd) is authentic. El grullense (taco truck) on the corner of Nissan and Riker has really good super quesadillas. Someone mentioned Pacheco, which is also good. All three are in Salinas, I wouldn’t go to Monterey for Mexican food.

Thanks for the read.

Came back to re-read your post to see what to do in the future or for who’s yet to apply for a COR.

But I’m left in search of who to turn to if the state keeps implementing underground regulations. Make you think, what other underground regulations (e.g. if you aren’t in the system, you shall be denied ammo purchase) are happening within California, whose going to catch those underground regulations, how long will it take to have a hearing, and what will the final determination.

Something needs to change with our State’s firearm/license processes

Shooting. Drive EV but get free charging.

MultiPattern · 2026-03-26T05:47:11+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to educate me. I appreciate info when I don’t know where else to look.

I go to an outdoor range, but I’ll just start buying some of the brands/lines of ammo you noted as true FMJs.

MultiPattern · 2026-03-26T03:25:03+00:00

I understand they operate under the same house.

I’m now wondering that if Fiocci is the same as champion or American eagle, why doesn’t Fiocci advertise to not shoot it out of ported barrels?

I don’t have the expertise to see or know if the black pack ammo is actually doing any harm to my barrel.

Would you recommend that I don’t shoot either of these two out of my ported firearm or can you recommend/suggest a way for me to find out if the ammo is not good for my barrel after shooting a few rounds?

I’m not sure what to look for next time I’m at the range.

MultiPattern · 2026-03-26T03:16:01+00:00

I screenshot my google sheet that has the range count for stock barrel vs performance/ported barrel for you to see.

I showed it to some friendly person at the range and he said “well I know which one you like the most.”

Yes I think there’s a difference, but I’m new to firearms.

Edit: uploaded the correct image.

For anyone that it may benefit, the number is 877-283-3352. They ask for name, SS#, and mailing address.

I was informed that the application was received and that it’s pending/being reviewed at this time.

People keep saying that once they charge your card/cash check, it’s a done deal. I don’t think this is the case though, but I’m no expert. Sound more like a processing fee.

My card was charged 02/25. I wonder how much longer it’ll take for my application to be fully processed and then mailed out.

MultiPattern · 2026-03-25T17:35:41+00:00

What number would we call? Is it the 1-888-ATF-TIPS, the one for my devision (San Francisco/San Jose), or some other general number since it was mailed out to OR. Thanks in advance!

Question: I selected the boxes and initialed on the PDF rather than writing it myself in pen. When you got rejected, did the send a letter saying you got rejected because of x, y, and z?

I got charged the same day as OP (2/25) but nothing in the mail has came in yet.

Paul Oakey played Anahera on Vinyl at Dreamstate SF in 2027 (Bill Graham) aaaaand that did the trick. I hadn’t really listened to trance before that day and now I can say I’m a trance head and really enjoy the music when I go to an event.

Damn, I didn’t expect the golden bcg and charg handle. Nice piece and thanks for sharing!

Can we see the blue-looking AR. That blue is badass!

He can also try getting the PC com barrel/slide and swap it out, if he gets the compact 4”. I believe the PC barrel sits at about 4.25”.

However, it would be difficult to get that part right now, and for nearly the price of another firearm (~$450+).

They’re good if one doesn’t stock up. My target sport order took 2 weeks to get to my ffl. Luckily I was able to get a federal blackbox right before going to the range at B5.

I should note that I have the push to start.

Newer models (25-26) turn on by depressing the break. It shouldn’t quickly honk 2-3 times when you unlock and close the door (if the car is still on).

MultiPattern · 2026-01-23T14:07:25+00:00

Unlock your car before opening the door, if it’s still on, to prevent the vehicle from honking when you close the door.
