This makes me want to quit ERAU and switch to TUIIUIUIUI. Not that ERAU has been a real brain buster...

Wait. I thought landing on an aircraft carrier was the most heroic feat of aviation prowess ever devised.

Classic Thread - Gold Bond Video
I always thought it was interesting that the AF shit on him for the Gold Bond video then either commisioned or directly sanctioned the High Angle Strafe video which was distributed CAF wide as mandatory training.

I got a used Gen 3, 2005 manufacture. I haven't shot it yet but I'll report back. It's nice and compact but my pinky fits on the grip.

StoleIt, on 23 May 2012 - 09:21 PM, said: Did your sights just start to move around or the barrel take a dump? This VTAC thing has the crazy/awesome sights so that should be a leg up. Yea, I want APEX parts baaad. I've got the JG model with the Warren Tactical sights. They aren't the problem. I've read a bunch about the unlocking timing on the barrel affecting accuracy, but honestly I don't shoot all that often at 25 yards and out so it wasn't really an issue. Then I went to a class with Kyle Defoor who is big on 25 yard pistol shooting and was really having some issues with really random, large groups. I didn't want to be the guy to blame the gun, but I was getting a little discouraged so I borrowed another guy's Glock and my groups tightened right back up. Then Kyle shot my gun and it was still all over the place, so I'm pretty sure it's the barrel. I also had a lot of problems with light primer strikes, but I finally solved that with an updated striker assembly. My gun is an '08, so you shouldn't have a problem with that. I also put in the new sear housing block, but again, no factor for you. I initally installed the Apex hard sear and the USB which improved the trigger quite a bit. I got the forward set sear when it came out and it's fucking ridiculous. The closest thing to a 1911 trigger pull you'll ever find on a striker fired pistol. I probably wouldn't carry it, but I've got no problems with it around the house. Even though I've worked through my share of issues I'm still a fan of the M&P. I've got too much invested to give up now so I'm definitely going to change out the barrel. I'm also looking for a new rear sight to aid in one handed manipulations. The slant on the Warrens makes it almost impossible to cycle the slide by hooking on a holster/belt etc. All that being said I just bought a Glock 19.

Shoot the m&p out at 25 yards and get a baseline for accuracy. I felt like mine went to shit after a couple thousand rounds. Looking forward to the gunsmith fit barrel from G&R/Storm Lake. Highest recommendation for the Apex parts, as well.

"Sometimes referred to as mass psychogenic illness or epidemic hysteria, there is a clear preponderance of female victims." I'm not sayin'...
