Not sure on the box change but the newer M&p9s are supposed to be coming with the MA SHB to help prevent dead triggers. The other calibers may be as well but the 9s are the only ones I have experience with.

I have a spare/spares for just about every part in an M&P but I'm a bit OCD so it may be overkill for most people. The slide stop is a good spare to have on the M&P they are known to break. I'd also keep sear spring, striker spings, and sear plungers on hand. The sear spring and plunger are...

It looked like most of them were shooting SA, they did that with the M29 in last weeks elimination as well.

I carry Ranger 127 +p+ , my wife uses gold dot 124+p.

I agree with this list but would probably rank it 1, 5, 6, 2, 4, 3 in terms of practicality in my life. I drive alot more than I get in fist or gun fights. However I haven't done a great job of maintaining a good balance in my training, its good but could be better. I hope to work on that this...

This is true and gets back to the point of needing to better choose who we associate with to lower our risk. People talk about being concerned for their well being then will go out and drink with their hot head buddy, This whole self defense thing is more than just guns and H2H but I'm...

Troy Looking at your numbers people should be taking classes on mate/friend selection to reduce their risk of assualt. I think that falls under Farnam's "Stupid people" rule. A moderator on another board described risk as this; "Risk is all about plotting severity vs. likelihood or frequency...

Troy, How many of the civilian assualts involved one or more of the three stupids, stupid people, stupid places, or stupid things? Do you think things could have turned out differently if one of the parties was willing to walk away? I could have a skewed vision of fights but I'm imagining two...

I carry reloads for every gun I am carrying. Historically it has always been 2 reloads for the primary and BUG, latley it has only been 1 for the primary and 2 for the BUG because I only had one mag pouch for the M&P. I've since rectified that situation but need to get back in the habit of two...

That's just because you like rolling around with sweaty men Troy. On the civilian side I see a need for some H2H but I don't place it at the top of my list. I have no responsibility to go hands on with anybody the way a LEO does, I don't have to cuff anybody, I don't have to pat them down...
