The 15 round mags are good to go in the Shield Plus.

Most all of my purchases have just been that I like it and want it.

I was told by a Glock rep that loaded magazines will not become weak. What weakens a a magazine spring is lots of compressing and extending. For example, if you bend a piece of metal back and forth it gets easier and easier until it eventually breaks

I’d use that letter to wipe my ass

Thank you everyone for the information. I know it has the 2” barrel but don’t think it’s a plus p, not sure if those were made 35 years ago. I have passed the info along to her. Thanks again.

She is supposed to be sending some.

My sister in law has a S&W model 36 that she wants to sell. It’s about 35 years old and to my knowledge it has never been fired. She’s asking me a price to sell it for and I don’t ever buy used guns or anything else used. Any of y’all have an idea what is a fair price for her to ask?

Bassbob, thank you for the detailed info.

I’ll say that in over 4 decades of shooting firearms, my expertise is in pistols, MP5, AR’s and 870’s. Sixteen years as department armorer and trainer but it was for pistols and AR’s as we eliminated (against my advice but was overruled by chiefs) the Remington 870. I have never owned or used...

Bassbob, thank you for the detailed reply. What you said is pretty much what I’ve been able to learn about the two.

I’m looking at getting either a Beretta 1301 Tactical or the Benelil M2 Tactical shotgun. Anybody have experience with these? I’m looking for recommendations and why you would recommend one over the other.

What Bassbob said. Think about trying to break a piece of metal, you bend it back and forth over and over until it eventually breaks. Each time you bend it, it gets a little easier to bend.

Me too. I decided to quit drooling and pulled the trigger. It’s ordered.

Beretta still makes several models that are metal frame

Besides the P7, I was also issued a MP5. That was/is an awesome SMG and our selector switch was for full or semi auto. We had training every Wednesday and it would usually involve a lot of shooting. Glad I’m retired but those were good times.
