After a 5 1/2 week wait (quoted 7 weeks) I just received my new holster for my M&P 9 C.O.R.E. The holster is a Phlster Skeleton IWB. The fit and finish of this holster is awesome. And the best part, it fit with my Deltapoint without any modifications. I believe I have just found my new...

Unfortunately this project is not going to move forward at this time. The company I had working on this project is local and their CNC machine is a bit big to do the detail work I requested on such a small part. They are going to try and get me in touch with some people that work on smaller...

I got a photo (not to clear) of a test run that was done on aluminum. Machinist was not too happy with the results so he will be tweeking it some more. I also asked if the serrations could be spaced the same as on the slide and not so close as was done. He is working on it. I will keep you...

Unfortunately there were other projects ahead of mine for milling. There is hope of the test cap being completed tomorrow. As soon as I get the milled cap I will get pics posted. I am very anxious to get this cap done!!! TO BE CONTINUED...

You can count me in. Thanks for the generosity!!!

FYI, if you decide to go with the Deltapoint, Leupold is releasing the Deltapoint 2 sometime mid-year. Supposed to have a couple upgraded features yet remain the same price. Also in the sale section, a member had a great price for a lighly used 7.5 moa Deltapoint with all mounts. If I had not...

So I am currently in the process of having a new cap machined for my M&P CORE slide. It will replace the plastic cap that comes on the CORE and be made of stainless. The cap will also be sent for a black nitride finish. The plan is to have it milled with scallops/serrations to match the ones...

According to an email response I got from Leupold, the Deltapoint 2 should be released mid-year.

I answered this several posts back so instead of retyping it all, here is the link to the post http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-pistols/352608-m-p-core-optics.html

Recently I went to a ballistics demo with reps from Hornady and Federal. Federal rep made mention of a new ammo from Speer that the FBI just tested and claims is the best performing round they have ever tested. Didn't know if that was marketing BS or not but our agency also received info from...

The crossbolt mount Deltapoint is cheaper since it only comes with the one mount, the crossbolt. This would fit a rail for rail mount applications, like an AR. The all mounts version is more since it includes wounts for many other platforms including the crossbolt. The Deltapoint on the CORE...

Yeah, I know the springs can be mixed and matched for the "perfect fit" for the shooter. I was just expecting the DCAEK kit would give the 5-5.5lbs with all the included springs and with the stock spring about 4.5lbs.

So I got done installing an Apex DCAEK kit in my CORE 9 FS. Replaced all the springs with the new ones that came with the kit. Measured trigger pull and I am showing ~6.5lbs on my Lyman digital. This is a good pound over the expected of 5 - 5.5 lbs. Did I mess something up or have others...

Thanks Ed911. I am glad to see my research was not a waste of time. Even though the dimple issue has been posted else where, seems many people are still hung up on the dimple issue.:confused:

I am new to the M&P world but I can't seem to understand why everyone gets worked up over the number of dimples on their barrel. I researched a little bit before buying my M&P 9 CORE. In my research I found that the number of dimples (1 or 2) is the way they mark the barrel for what machine...
