I really didn't want to spend the money on it right at this moment, however, I could not pass up the deal.

So I have an M&P 40c that I have been wanting to trade for an M&P 9c. I thought about a conversion barrel or dropping in a stock 9mm barrel for it. I have not been able to source a stock 9mm barrel and I really didn't want to pay the premium for a Storm Lake conversion barrel. Anyway, the...

I did some research and it seems that the Tula Brass Maxx is made in Italy by Fiocchi. After doing some more digging I found that many people have had issues with both the Fiocchi and Brass Maxx ammo in their pistols. M&Ps seem to hate it the most, but I have seen issues on the XD boards...

Then why on page 17 of the owner's manual does it say, "WARNING: DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE UPWARD FORCE WHEN INSERTING A LOADED MAGAZINE INTO THE PISTOL. EXCESSIVE UPWARD FORCE COULD CAUSE THE SLIDE TO MOVE FORWARD, CHAMBERING A ROUND AND MAKING THE PISTOL READY TO FIRE." Seems like per the manual...

Yes, when I slam the mag in it will close. If I put it in easy it will not. I always slam my mags to make sure they are in, though.

I picked up an M&P 40c a few weeks ago and finally got it to the range today. So far I have mixed feelings. I also have a few questions. I also have an M&P Shield 9mm and an M&P 45c. Anyway I started out shooting Tula Brass Maxx ammo which is 170gr weight. I like how the pistol shoots even...

I own a 9mm Shield and just picked up a 40c last week. The 40c is just as comfortable for me to carry as the Shield. I am keeping my shield for shorts and T-Shirt summer duty, but I think the 40c is going to be my new EDC. I also have a 45c and almost never carry it due to the size. For me...

No this is the old gun.

It was a different FFL. This is the one closer to me and that I usually deal with. They gave me a break on some other things I got when I picked it up so it worked out with my LGS. I do think that S&W should expect this and allow the LGS to bill them for the transfer. I have no problem with...

So I originally posted the thread about my M&P 45c and the frame not being straight. It is a brand new pistol. Never fired. Just brought it home and noticed that the frame was not right. I emailed CS and sent them the pictures of the frame and they told me to send it in for service. 5...

We have a sales database and not a registry. The database was never meant to be a registry and it is not legal for law enforcement in this state to use it as one. For instance if you bought the gun in another state or if it was purchased before the sales database went into effect, it will not...

Glad we don't have a registry in PA.

So basically his is an illusion based on the fact that the frame and rails are not paralell, while my frame actually is not straight. Interesting.

What am I missing?

Wow! That is interesting. Yours looks the same as mine but your frame is perfectly straight and mine is not. Weird stuff.
