Yes, but heavier rounds with higher twist stabilize better over distance.

Yeah it'll maintain stabilization due to the extra mass, though the increased fragmentation is really where heavy 5.56 shines

Looks like a grenade goes off in ballistic gel

Plus the ballistic coefficient is better but honestly you're probably not gonna be making shots out to 600 yards unless you're out in the country

Any of yall have experience with an M&P shield? Any good?

I’ve got two. I carry the .40 and my wife carries my 9. I won’t carry anything but an M&P. My AR is an M&P too

Imagine trying to pick all those bits out of a fellow meat sack

@[CA] SoyBoi The M&P Shield 9mm is my EDC

Love it, and can't beat the price point. I have more expensive guns, and the Shield is still my go to EDC

@Sparrow how is it concealed? No issues?

No issues at all for me. Depending on how deep I need to go, I think Sticky Holsters provide the deepest concealment.

Sticky holsters are poorly constructed soft nylon leg ventilators. Never trust one.
Better alternatives are phlster, darkstar gear, jm custom kydex, and keepers concealment.
M&P shield is a good carry gun. Slim but not unpleasant. Best carried iwb around the 4 oclock position. It's not big enough to be comfortably carried in an appendix holster unless you're wearing lower rise pants.

Though you can still carry it appendix, it just likes to flop a little since the barrel isn't long enough to provide good leverage and force the grip into your stomach.

Gotta reiterate though, ***soft nylon is never acceptable.***

I've been testing out appendix carry with the shield. Kydex holster.

It's not bad when I'm up and about, but is extremely uncomfortable if I sit, unless I pull the holster up pretty high, such that it sits on my stomach rather than at the joint.

What do you guys think of ballistic advantage uppers? Looking at their .223 Wylde 1:7 uppers for my AR.

If I remember right, they're a sister company of aero precision

Anyone even have AR15 parts in stock these days?

My cousin's doom and gloom talk has me wanting to go fighting rifle instead of pistol, even if it means charging to the credit card. 😂

Should probably go for a pistol and good concealed carry holster first. Even if things turn out okay, it'll be useful

Opinions on this

"Why yes officer, I am a drug dealer"

Does anyone have a print file for a 9mm m&p shield holster? My friend bought that piece of...gun and wants to make a holster lol

I don't know that I'd trust a 3d printed holster. Maybe if it's made from some sort of reinforced filament like kevlar reinforced nylon

Maybe the cf reinforced one instead since it's stiffer

Anyone know a MoA ar 15 upper I can buy?

There's tons and tons.
Here's one from larue that's surprisingly inexpensive and testing on forums show around 0.5 moa with good 77gr ammo
https://www.larue.com/products/larue-ultimate-ar-15-upper-kit/

That's around $800 for almost everything including a larue trigger and bcg, as well as a trigger chassis for testing different triggers without mounting them in a firearm, even comes with a barrel wrench. You pretty much just need a lower.

Actually I've never really looked at this before, and holy shit. 800 for all that from a Gucci tier brand and it's not even on sale

That's unreal.

That's less than a BCM would run me.

Custom kydex sheath for the Gerber prodigy came in today

Sweet

Nice. I like those Gerbers. My edc knife is a TOPS, and my combat knife is an ESEE

My dad has a mk ii and I've always had a thing for it. Beautiful curves

Unfortunately the modern ones have shit quality

According to this guide, larue for $800 is insanely cheap.

BCM complete uppers cost over $1000

Larue is very good. Focused more on precision than anything. Their triggers are a bit below geissele, though their accuracy and precision of machining is into the competition realm. It's not as crazy as other competition brands, but you also wouldn't want to take a heavy Krieger barrel into battle
