Howdy & a Happy Holidays to all

Have been a little busy with concerts (JingleBall and a like) and the Political folks.
Have had a little time for ICORE competition and some local cowboy shooting.
and I will be in St Augustine in the first week of Jan 2016 at the Fla State Cowboy Championship (photos will follow) and it should be fun.
Well, back to shooting……..
Yep, I have been shooting and M&P Ported CORE 4.25" with a C-More STS on top in Steel Challenge (I try to shoot Sundays)
Did a little work on it with a Full APEX Flat face forward trigger system and have it at a nice smooth 2.8#'s. (and after 2500 rd's of 147g 9mm it is still holding at 2.8#'s)
I have also now added a Full Length SS guide rod with a 13# ISMI spring.
that travels the full length under the barrel.
I also added a Shield to my carry group (after I won one at a match)……nice gun, under cut the trigger guard, added Talon rubber grips, changed the sights to a FO front and Black out rear and the put in one of APEX New FFTrigger for the shield (this is not the same size as the FS trigger set). I left all other trigger parts alone (carry gun, mostly in my pocket and loaded with LIBERTY 9mm Non-Lead bullets. Drops the weight of the package with much less recoil.
Now that I will be signing up for the Steel Challenge Nationals, I picked up a second M&P CORE (non-Ported) Sunday at the local gun show. I have a C-More STS on the way for it and an Apex FFTrigger package also on the way. Need a back-up in my bag for the Nationals.

My M&P PORTED CORE before Apex trigger set up








And yes, I still shoot Glocks and build Glocks and I have started to use the New Apex Triggers in them (very nice trigger)

My load you ask…..
147g Hi-Tec bullet with 3.5g of TightGroup with Federal Primers.

Well got to go to work getting ready for next weeks Orange Bowl Semi-final playoff game and team arrival & practice.
