    The MTM ammo cans are just fine. As to trying to use that to move them....that would be heavy! Granted you could take the cans out and do them one by one

    I would like one. But im not going to play the CMPs games to try to get one....or pay what they are probably going to want for them. Especially after the M1 carbine BS (IMO BS at least)

    Shoutout to @GHOST SHIP and further inquiries on shipping my frame to them.

    After doing some research, not seeing anything I really liked and talking with Rachael at 5b, I made my deposit. Scheduled for August.

    Now, have to figure out how to safely ship my frame to them..thoughts?

    Shipping the frame makes me nervous, but I'd say get tracking and pay a little extra for the insurance. Might not hurt to get signature confirmation either. All said and done, it should still be less than $40 for all the bells and whistles from USPS. If you think about gun reltated things you've ordered in the past, USPS priority mail might not be such a bad thing, but some places (or new employees) have hang-ups about shipping anything gun related. I've gotten complete receivers shipped to my FFL with UPS as well.

    Did the folks at 5B have any input on shipping? I figure since they deal with this all the time they might be able to suggest a method that will be the safest and easiest for you.

    No. I checked their FAQ on the website and it only says "coming soon". I guess I can email Rachael back.

    Might be a good idea. A buddy once had problems shipping magazines through USPS, but it may have been a new employee, something to do with shipping over state lines (high cap restrictive), or possibly even a strict policy that they have. He ended up going to a different post office and "don't ask, don't tell" works. For something like the frame, I'd want a little more security in case it gets lost in transit.
    My local FFL usually ships and receives through UPS so I don't know if that would be more helpful.

    Wonder if the "fired when dropped" feature is going to be included then removed like the P320s.

    Their website claims it is 1.0" wide but I'd be curious to hold one and see how it compares. I'm currently in the market for a single stack 9mm and width is probably my number one reason for wanting one so I will be very curious to get my hands on one. I'm currently leaning towards either the Walther PPS or Springfield XDS but I need to get to the range and shoot all of their rental guns to make a decision.

    im sure it does, but it doesn't have a 10+1 capacity. With 12 round mags as spares... that 499 is with night sights. i might have to go get one. Still on the fence though as i would really like a glock 26 as i have a bunch of full-size glock mags.... so many possibilities.

    I have a kahr P40, its nice, my first single stack gun.

    My search for a slim, single stack 9mm led me to the MP Shield. The $75 rebate sealed the deal. After shooting doublestack Glocks my whole life, It's unbelievably slim:

    Are they offering the rebate again? I was looking at picking another one up at Christmas time if they had offered the rebate. I was a Glock fanboy for along time until I got a shield.
