Two stamps and run fast, somehow I misplaced my EOTec magnifier I bought before my last deployment so a fixed backup sight went on. I probably need to go through my "Oh S###" patrol bag and see if I left it in it with plate carrier. If someone didn't decide they really liked it more.

A heavy suppressor but I do know it's full auto rated for a half dozen magazines, when tried out on a M-4a1 lower.
Dang I need to fire it some now.

My son turned 21 last week and took his CPL class today. Scored top of the class in the shooting portion of the class. Was using my wife's SW M&P 2.0 ported slide and barrel performance center 9mm. Pretty proud of his shooting skills. The teacher has now been overtaken by the student

Outstanding. That's some fine shooting.
Well done, young man.

The last time I had to shoot to qualify, the instructor, a police sergeant, took our targets, trashed them and only gave us a pass or fail. No scores.

His rationale was that in civil court if the defendant was shown to be an expert marksman, why shoot 9 times? Why not shoot to wound? By the same token, modifying a carry weapon was also discouraged.

There may not be criminal charges, but it's the civil court that can bite a defendant in the butt. His poor mother, "he was a good boy", the grieving baby-momma, tears, yada yada.

In 1996, getting a CHL in Texas required fingerprinting, background check, time in a classroom and shooting to qualify. Over the years they discontinued the shooting and then the training and finally the license. It's open carry.

However, while Texans can now carry handguns without a license in most public places thanks to the constitutional carry law, obtaining a Texas License to Carry (LTC) can still be beneficial for several reasons, including reciprocal carry rights, easier firearm purchases, and specific locations where an LTC is required.

This may be more information than anyone wants to know. Be safe out there everyone.

Thank you. That's actually very interesting and I can definitely see his point to do so.

I want the FBI version Of the MP5. It was chambered in 10mm.

Something along with that I got told by a buddy of mine early in my time as a cop. It's really soaked in during training with other officers with simunitions especially to find various blue simunitions marks... Along with showing me there was more than a few who I never wanted in a stack with me.

Bringing this back up from the dead….
Any of ya’ll shoot competitively? Or at least….dabble in competitive type drills?

I’m giving my carry piece a rest (Shield Plus 3.1), been shooting that every weekend for months (probably 2,000 rounds or more). Looking for something a little easier to acquire my 2nd shots….and go faster. Not necessarily looking to compete, but…it looks fun as hell.

Anyone have an M&P Metal Carry Comp (4.25” barrel, 28ounces) ported barrel?

Or the 2.0 Competitor (5” barrel, 29ounces) ported barrel?

compete here and there. I just use my Glock 19x or G45, both with red dots. Also, occasionally my cz shadow 2 fI’ll size. Using the correct power factor rounds will also help with follow up shots.

Used to shoot bowling pin with a Colt 1911 45 acp. Target with a 6" S&W 686 with handloaded 38 spl's.

When I lived in Houston in the '90s
I was a member of Bayou Rifles
and qualified for an M1 Garand
from the Director of Civilian Marksmanship (DCM) under the Department of the Army by shooting in two national matches.
Back then you were limited
to one in your lifetime, $250.

Clinton began destroying all the surplus firearms. To stop him, Congress created the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP),
and moved all the surplus firearms to civilian control. Now you can buy 12 per year, $1,200 each.

I have also purchased an M1 Carbine and an M1911A1 .45 ACP through the program.

I also did some United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) shooting.
Basically a .45 club back then.

And did some metallic handgun silhouette shooting, the NRA Hunter Pistol.
Out to 100 meters with a Thompson Center Contender in .22LR.

Wow I found my people. I've been doing a ton of training over the last couple years and have established a massive obsession with ported handguns. My favorite being a P365 X Macro with Icarus Precision grip module and Monsoon Tactical Lucky 7's custom porting.

Here's a picture from when it was new... it has over 11,000 rounds on it now. I train OWB with this gun quite often and it shoots way out of it's weight class.

One of my other builds... this is my night vision rifle. It's sitting around 2500 rounds at this point and rocks a US Night Vision 3eiR DIR-V aiming device.

1st person Vehicle Threat training... The freeze up at the back of the car was due to needing to wait for my down range partner to move before I started sending rounds down range. These are all 25-30 yard targets.
