Info Post
First congratulations to my new shooters in basic pistol class and the same to my CCH students this weekend!  

So, the new spare Smith and Wesson Military and Police VTAC 9mm Pistol  9mm bullet hose threw up its front fiber optic after 300 rounds. I check the older one and well, the results were less than pleasing:
















It started to remove itself after some range time as well. The new pistol? The slide was shipped to S&W on their dime. It arrived today back at the factory. We shall see what the turnaround is. VTAC sells these sights aftermarket for 240 bucks. American. I find this failure rate totally unacceptable. And of course, I am scheduled to be in a "tactical pistol" class this Friday. I think I will attempt some Cyanoacrylate-fu on this one. I have nothing to loose. Anyone have any other suggestions to get this optic back in the front sight? 

Sigh.... I will of course now take an old friend with me for backup:













On the other hand, I did go to the secure FedEx facility today and pick this up:













500 rounds of M1 Carbine food for my curmudgeon, 200 rounds of M1 Garand food for my M1. 

I hope everyone has a great week!
