I really don't have a need for the 9mm barrel, I just want one. I currently don't have a pistol in 9mm, and I figured that this would be the cheapest route. Plus I think it would be kinda cool to have two guns in one. It wouldn't be for carrying or defense, just plinking and practice.

So it doesn't matter that it's not Smith&Wesson brand? I really didn't figure that it would make a difference, but I didn't want to shell out the money without knowing for sure.

Well, I know it's been all of maybe five minutes since I posted that, but I just found a threaded storm Lake 9mm barrel on Midway. It's not a conversion barrel, but would it still work? Is about 30 bucks more than the Wilson, so if they would both fit I will probably go with the threaded...

Alright, I know this has probably been beaten to death, but I'm looking to convert my m&p40 compact to 9mm. I've heard that you can use a factory 9 barrel as opposed to an actual conversion barrel, and that its cheaper too. The only problem is I can't find a factory 9 barrel, other than a...

I'm in the market for an ar15. This will be my first "evil black rifle". The problem is that I'm stumped on what to get. I'm torn between a m&p 15 sport or building one from psa blemished parts. As you can see from my two options I'm on a budget. I know that since I'm on a s&w website I'll...

The trigger on my 40c isn't too bad. Before I bought it I mainly shot my 1911s, so it took me a little while to adjust to the new feel of a striker fired pistol. I have pretty big hands and when I held a shield it felt way too small. The 40c feels like it was made for my hand. Sure the grip...

My 40 compact has a mold line in the same spot, but it is very uniform and not jagged at all.

I have an m&p 40c that I shoot well. It is the first 40 that I've shot, and after reading reviews on the round I was a little apprehensive about the recoil. After shooting it, I really don't see what all the fuss was about. I know that recoil is subjective, but to me the recoil of the 40 is...

Thanks for the replies. I know that I'm loving it more each day.

That's what I've heard too. Congratulations on the new gun.

Is the barrel stainless or carbon steel? Like others have said, if you remove the coating on carbon steel it will rust pretty quick, but stainless would be fine.

The one thing that I really don't much care for is the trigger. Will it get much better with use or do y'all recomend a trigger job for it? I know that one of these days I plan on getting fiber optic sights, but for now the ones on it is fine.

Another welcome from Oklahoma. I'm new here too

Thanks for the link.

None for me. They are too narrow for my hands, but the m&p compact fits just right.
