Range time, LEM experience, and the move to the M&P

[RHINOWSO]

What issues with the new Glocks are you speaking about? No issues with any of mine.

Consistent G19 Gen 4 / late Gen 3 brass to the face, I'm sure.

Give the DA/SA variant of the HK a chance. The USP has the better SA over the P30. I have tried two HKs with the LEM and hated them both.

Sucks to here DPS is dropping the M&P. I have a 45 version and it is still solid though I have replaced the trigger to a FSS from apex. Hopefully Smith can fix this.

I've shot the DA/SA trigger on a USP 45 but it was like 10 years ago so I definitely don't remember well. I generally strongly dislike DA/SA though. Glock triggers just have me spoiled from shooting my old 17 for so long.

Wow. Thanks.
Talk about falling flat on your face after a big win. I wonder if they got a bad batch of mags or supplied .40 cal mags with 9mm guns?
Either way, this will leave a mark.

Until you read about Texas DPS dumping the M&P 9MM due to FT feed / eject, and mag problems...

(Sorry to rain on your parade)...

Everyone I know who runs an M&P has had good luck. It would be interesting to hear what it was specifically with the run of guns Texas DPS had. Pretty much besides H&K every manufacturer has had their fair share of issues with specific departments.

Wasn't Texas DPS previously using .357sig M&Ps? Pure speculation on my part but it wouldn't surprise me if the malfunctions Texas DPS experienced with the M&P 9mm came from using previously issued .357sig(.40) mags...

Aren't those mags clearly marked as to what Amo they are for?

To me they are very clearly marked, but I honestly cannot think of why a bunch of M&Ps would start malfunctioning like that. It's very odd but if the wrong mags were used it would make a lot more sense.

DPS was issued Sig P226 DAKs in .357. The M&P's were going to replace those. Guess they will be sticking with Sig or going a different route.

DPS has always had strong ties to Sig, they have been carrying Sig pistols at least since the early 90's. I wouldn't be surprised if the new Sig P320 shows up. DPS was obviously looking for a striker fired poly pistol, hence the move to the M&P. Now Sig has a dog in that hunt, so who knows. I'm sure Sig will offer DPS another outrageous deal to trade their 226's in for the 320's. That's how DPS got the .357 initially, Sig took their old Sigs in trade and supplied them with the 226s in .357 for next to nothing, and supplied all the .357 ammo they could shoot for three years.

Link? Thanks

Tx DPS is just starting transition to the M&P's from Sigs.
