M&P22 Safety Plug v2 - kits for sale!

Is there a preferred method of disassembly/reassembly direction regarding the 2 pins that need to be hammered out first? From the view of the barrel pointing away from you, of course. Or, does the direction of removal really matter?

I go out towards the take down lever as the hole on the right side seems smaller than the pin on my gun and won't go through without beating the **** out of it like he did... It comes out right to left pretty easily... Haven't noticed a difference on the rear.

I confirm that's it's best to remove both pins going from right to left, when the back of the gun is facing towards you. I noticed that the left side of the rear pin's end may be slightly flared. Also, use a couple of small rubber bands to wrap around the front of the barrel/frame and rear assembly/frame before punching out the two pins. This will help keep parts from popping out as you punch out the rear pin. Lastly, I highly recommend reading the new instructions carefully before starting this project. It will help you to better understand and follow the procedure. Thanks to jobiin for putting together a great aftermarket product for the M&P 22. It definitely has improved the looks and operation of my pistol. Consider me now a happy camper. :D

Question: are the plugs captured in the frame like the original levers to keep them from sliding out? Thanks.

They are wedged in. It's a tight fit - some sanding might be required. I make them .02mm wider than the frame so it's snug.

I lost count of how many rounds after a good dozen boxes of 550 and they haven't fallen out yet.

You might also consider adding a little dab of clear adhesive to help keep them in place. I used clear, non-permanent, adhesive that's safe for plastics.

I took mine back apart to check something and now after reassembling the gun it will not reset the trigger after each round. It ejects the spent casing OK but doesn't reset. If I manually eject the next unfired round the next bullet fires OK. Not sure if something is broke or missing.

Field strip it and check the hammer. Is it under spring tension? I ran into this issue as well when first prototyping everything and it ended up being the hammer rod thing wasn't set into the spring in the frame.
 
Do you mean it had slipped off the little button on the spring in the grip? With the magazine removed I can look inside the grip and see the rod contacting the button and pushing down on the spring.
 
Field strip and decock hammer. Pull trigger and hold it back. Press in the little nub by the screwdriver in the photo. If it doesn't make a little pop sound and the sear drops back forward, you are either missing the little spring from a few posts back like that other guy, or the other reset bits are out of wack... You didn't take the Philips screws out of the frame did you?

Thanks for the reply. I tried the holding the trigger and pushed the button, heard the click and the sear moved forward. Not sure what timing might be off internally since I didn't take anything apart.
 
It's a cool idea, and it amazes me that we can buy 3D printers now and create anything we can dream up.

But my hat's off to jobiin, who is in for a lot of work and headaches implementing this cool little product. It seems like a ton of stress and liability. I mean the product can be as simple and common sense as possible, but IF someone shoots their foot with a modified M&P22, you can bet jobiin will be getting a letter from an attorney. :(

And attorneys don't listen to common sense. :p

What they like to do is take things to court, because that's where they get paid. Then you have to hire your own attorney who will get paid up front.

Good luck my friend. Great idea, looks beautiful too. Please stay safe!
 
Just got mine back from the gunsmith. Cost me $40 in stupid tax :o but he was able to get the plugs installed and the gun back together :)This picture shows some of the damage I did trying to remove the pins. Damage is purely cosmetic but drove me nuts (OCD I guess) so I sold the gun.

Time to order another set of plugs :D
This time I will pay to have them installed :o

Dang... A small file and some cold blue would fix that right up... What thread protector is that?

Before you buy another set of plugs, email me at [email protected]. I'll just send them out to you. Also, we can talk about you sending the gun to my local FFL
 
If you ordered plugs over the weekend and up until last night, they went in the mail this morning.

I gotta go buy more stamps. Damn you all.
 
All of the orders I've gotten have been shipped. If you haven't received one yet, and it's been over a week, email me with your name and address and I will look to see when it was sent.

[email protected]
 
Just got my set installed. Took 5-10 min and it's 10x better!
