very clever indeed. I feel kinda dumb not thinking of that but I'm sure glad ATS did! Thanks! I no longer need to have the dexterity of an octopus to rebuild my Mossberg Shockwave. ;)

The lightened recoil spring from Volquartzen and fix all of my failure issues. It’s worth going with that first before you try all the other remedies.

Is it still holding zero 1 yr later?

Thank you for this detailed video, on how to install that mount! I was hesitant buy that same mount and try this task. Your video gave me confidences to order that mount and install it as well.

Got OSP slide in the mail today and installed! I had the silver xd9 slide and it’s a night and day difference. So much better grip and sight visibility. SA had a sale for $200 on Black Friday.

Thank you!!

You lost me at "I live in california"

I have a 669 and like yours , mine will not decock from half cocked. Just out of curiosity , is S&W still honoring the recall on this? If so, how would I get this taken care of if I decided to get this fixed?

I have to hold it the exact same way😊 I also feel like it eats directly in to my hand because of that part of the handle is very slim. I also have 8.7” hands, so I’m considering a custom handle

Great tip, thanks!

Hmmm interesting trigger..

Thanks for this really helpful and informative video. I'm thinking of buying this pistol at some point for indoor target shooting and your mods look to be exactly what I would want to do as well.😊👏🏻

I replaced the cartridge stop and cartridge interrupter on my friends Mossberg 500 .410 and still having issues with failure to eject and cycle, any advice?

Had no idea Springfield sold these - thanks!

Heritage will not support this firearm. I have a 9 round revolver and was refused parts from heritage even after I provided them with my serial number. I have 4 Taurus firearms and I like them all but I don't want any more unsupported firearms.

Take a look at this it's called outer impact MRA which is a plate that is made for red dot sights. Without paying $200+ and it only cost about $60

That problem you are having with your thumb hitting the rear of the grip could have been avoided by buying a 22/45 pistol. That little bit different geometry of the grip is a game changer for me. Pick one up at the gun store next time you are out and see the difference.

I see you have installed the rail and the red dot in the other video. Since its comments are turned off, I’m asking here. How much did it cost you in total including the after market parts, installation change, etc?

I have exactly the same thumb as yours. I hope it won’t be a big problem as I’ve ordered one (in CA). 😅

I have a Mark III 22/45 lite and love the accuracy of it so easy, you red dot it and it's absolutely amazing....but I've paid the range I go to to clean it because it's such a pain, but as I learn more about things like squibs and taking it apart it's nearly impossible to take it apart easily at the range..so I see a MARK IV in my future very soon...very nice video!

🙏

Those lil charging loop things just take the" clean" look away from these pistols... I own several madels of these ruger mark series and they all shoot as good as any rifle at 30 yards.

Does your barrel get loose on your gun Wiggle video

Thank you ATS. I just acquired one of these from my grandfather's collection. He was a police officer & PI before he passed. Also a marine. Toughest guy I ever knew. He swore by this gun and said it saved his life numerous times. Thank you for teaching me how to use this and be safe with it. I feel much more comfortable handling it to put it in a safe place away from others.

Mine is a 2245 and came with the rail in the box. One thing I would advise on this gun is to remove the sights and put some threadless on the screws. Do the same for the rail screws. They will back out as you shoot. My instructions say the sights need to be removed to use the rail but they work just fine with the rail in place. I can use a laser or holo and take it off to use the sights any time. Excellent gun.

I didn’t know about the half cocked feature. I have a 6906. These are great guns, made when Smith & Wesson was at the top of their game.

Very clever.

Oh my only issue was the right side safety,, took it off because , like you, jabbing my index finger

Try TKs blast pack,,, worth the $80! I have the22/45 model and love it!

Have a Ruger Mark 1V for over a year no problems, all of a sudden the pistol is STOVE PIPING .I use CCI Mini Mags ammo found out the EXTRACTOR had to be replaced, this is a common problem on these pistols. (Ruger should have a recall on this problem. )

I just bought a Ruger Mark IV and when I saw the title of your video, my first thought was "Well damn. What's wrong with the pistol that I was unaware of." Thankfully, all of your issues were non-issues to me. I knew before I even bought the pistol that I would be replacing the sights with fiber optics, front and rear.

I live in Ireland,I have a ruger mk4 target too,yes I too upgraded the fore sight but that's all,it's perfect other than the basic sights. I have over 50k rounds put through it with no problems. This gun retails here at1350 euro,yes that's 1350 euro.

👍👍👍 great idea. Making things easier.....think you

One of the most beautiful gun ever!

Hi, since the third screw backs out then it must be loose. When you screw it in, it hits the spring. So the screw has to be somewhere in the middle (loose) so as not to cause any problem. For those not wanting to install a rail, maybe some locktite so the screw does not back out again.

Anybody have any luck converting the 9 shot back to a 6 shot then?

Wow 👍

Looks like your guard is needing some undercut, my finger dont fit well with the "bump"

Is it okay to disassemble p238 with safety on like you did? Because I just disassembled and reassembled my p238 while safety was on. After I got done I saw some comments from other video that saids don't keep the safety on while disassembling p238

I’ll be honest I did this earlier this morning. I just use my big old thumb and put it in between those two bars. Keep them on place.

Get a Buckmark and find out why they are better.

Now the real question, why would you not use it as a holster? Doesn't hold on good? Lol

Hmm...I have a MKII bull barrel target pistol. It has been very accurate and reliable for many years. Agree that cleaning is complicated, but not excessively so IMO. Thought about a MK IV, but am not enamored of an aluminum frame and plastic sights versus steel frame and sights. I will pass for now...

Great informative video!

Thanks for sharing. I have my eyes on this and a Ruger revolver. Since I can't decide maybe I'll buy both! Lol.

Brilliant.

Hello sr. I have a question do they sell it for XDM 3.8 compact optic slide ready if yes i will appreciate you point me where I can purchase or if you have an affiliate link more than glad will use your link to make the purchase thank you for the video my goal is to use it with the He509T-GR

Technically yes, but the manufacturer says not to trust the safety.

When you say its not the safest way, at 4:08, wouldn't the safety being on prevent anything bad from happening?

I bought the Hogue for my M&P Shield. Yes very hard to put on. Overtime it will loosen the rubber grip and slide around a little bit.
