4.25 slide and barrel on 5 pro
Can I put a 4.25 inch m&p slide and barrel assembly on my 5 inch m&p pro or will it not fit?

The full size frames will take any of the full size slides, as Bkreutz said. I don't like buying guns by halves, but I do have different full size M&Ps with different slide lengths, and they can be switched, including different calibers. Cracks me up when people go on about the Pro trigger versus the CORE trigger, because they are identical; its the slides that are different.

The slide on the pro is why I went with it. Looking to have some other options when shooting the m&p that is why I asked about the slides.

By the way, I like the trigger on the full size guns. My shield trigger was great too until my job screwed it up with their trigger.

I can get the FS standard M&P pistol complete for $400 NEW on sale here. $429 anytime from Buds, new.
I don't know how the NY rules affect prices there.

Buds is never going to get a dime from me. They refuse to ship items that are not banned to New York and refuse to send items to FFL's in NY that are specifically for LEO's who are exempt from the UNSAFE act.

One day I intend on buying a M&P full size with the safety and putting the 5" Pro slide and barrel plus the trigger group in it (since S&W does not sell the Pro with the safety) I will then resell the FS. That is the only way I can see to get the safety on my Pro.

I just want to have the option of both slides without putting another gun on my record.

I'm no fan of Bud's, quite the opposite in fact. On the other hand I wouldn't ship a grip screw to New York until the legislature gets their collective heads out of their sphincters. It's an unfortunate fact that it's hard to get supplied behind enemy lines.

This is why I get so frustrated with the NRA for not helping us prisoners in the Peoples Republic of New Yorkistan.

Check with Brownells about slide assemblies. You also might want to check with S&W The standard length should be available from either.

S&W doesn't sell pistol parts to retail customers. I've tried several times.

Help yourselves. The NRA NSSF and other organizations are doing all it can but if the people of New York don't want to be free there's little that can be done. Expecting companies to give you special consideration you don't give the citizens you protect isn't the way that is done. God bless you and the work you do. I hope you stay safe but you're working for the very people who caused your problem and advancing their agenda by doing it.

I feel your pain friend, but don't lay it at the feet of the NRA. I too live in a gun unfriendly state. When the rubber meets the road, it's all up to us.
If you want to trade, I'll swap my 4.25" slide for your 5" slide.

Being that there is no mounting option for red dot. I'd say the iron sites in this picture are also misleading.

Not according to the S&W rep I spoke with at the Shot Show. They do indeed have the recess and plate for the optic mount. They come with tall sights or not. It just depends on what you want.

Interesting... Did he give you the model number to order from. Because the one I spoke with could not find the CORE version ported. If you have an item number for this let us know.

We understand what you WANT, but not WHY you want it?
What do hope to gain by going to a new slide and barrel that is 3/4 of an inch shorter?
- Sight radius will be slightly worse.
- Velocity will be slightly less
- the shorter gun won't conceal noticeably differently (or better), as the longer parts don't show up when in a holster.

Sorry, I missed this earlier. He did not give me those numbers and I didn't ask. We did discuss the configurations though and I remember him specifically saying one was available with the optic mount.
He is supposed to contact me later for some follow up stuff. He lives in CA and only a few hours from me. I'm not holding my breath, but I hope he does follow up. I would love to spend some range time with these new guns.

With the shooting team I am on they have a few categories of competition they run. This will allow me to shoot in the combat and service weapon categories.
