We have 5 magazines each for 9mm and 40 cal. The 10th round is a bit hard to get in the mag, but not so difficult that I would think warrants modifying the magazine. Any potential downside to the mod in terms of gun operation.

There should be a Testors model paint in fluorescent green.

Cure, yes. Move to California. Soon only way to get an M&P will be via SSE and that may not last much longer.

M&Ps are going the way of the Dodo in CA. Such is life on the left coast.

Makes me curious. If you damage the frame and need to order a replacement do you get a new S/N? A frame only wouldn't have to come through an FFL, would it? The .40 cal M&P are off our roster after 5/18 at which point a CA FFL won't be seeing any.

Wife and I have both 9mm and 40 cal M&P. We're not collectors, but intend to keep and exercise these handguns for some time. I'm interested in competition. My question: Since I'm in CA I wouldn't be able to either a)buy a replacement handgun or b)have the component hosting the serial number...

My wife and I have just started shooting our M&P 9 and M&P 40, respectively. We also have an M&P 22. These are our first handguns so we've got a long way to go to become competent. I can handle the M&P 22 reasonably well, but the grip is clearly too small providing little room for a proper...

Your story is concerning. Manufacturers for decades have been with good reason eliminating QC during the manufacturing process in favor of well-controlled processes. I can't imagine, however, how a bad slide could get through any form of final inspection. For that matter how did the Shield...

We have an M&P 22, M&P 9 and M&P 40. The 22 is a good representation of the centerfire handguns, but the trigger is different; the reset doesn't really provide audible or tactile notification. The 9 and 40, both new, have a very discernible reset. We're new to handguns, but my sense is that...

In the cycling world this is called "N+1 Syndrome"; seems like human nature. My wife and I have just started shooting handguns. We each have an M&P 22, she also shoots an M&P 9mm while I have a .40 cal. We're not going to CCW so I don't see a compact or sub-compact in my future. While I'm...

California baloney tastes worse than Massachusetts baloney. However, CA does have SSE.

I have both handguns, California configuration, one test fired Dec 13 the other Feb 14. Are the lowers (if that's the correct term) identical? Obviously, I can tell by S/N, but when I'm cleaning our handguns there is the possibility of assembling the barrel/recoil spring/slide on the wrong...

We're picking up my wife's 9mm fs in a week and my 40 fs a few days thereafter. I'm really looking forward to quality senior-citizen range time.

I'm looking for 10 round mags for both M&P 22 and M&P 9mm. Looked at CDNN and nothing to be found. I wish someone not in California would buy 12 rnd 22 mags, modify to 10 rounds and make them available. I believe this would be perfectly legal in CA. What I can't do is buy 12 rnd mags and...

My wife and I are taking the NRA Basic Pistol Course next weekend. We took the NRA shotgun course about a year ago and felt it to be very worthwhile. We were first time gun owners and the class gave us an opportunity to ask questions, learn from others' question and to greatly increase our...

Picked up an M&P 22 earlier this week and asked if I should clean prior to first use. The owner said "not necessary", but I went ahead and did a very quick clean and lube. I was surprised at the amount of "grease" in the area of the recall spring guide and elsewhere. I assume this is normal...

FWIW I live 50 miles south of San Jose in San Benito County: small town, row crop ag. Not a bad place to live now that I'm retired.

Just picked up an M&P 22 yesterday. Take down lever "fell" out; S&W spared no expense to grease things up down there:o M&P 40 is on the way. Should have in my hands approximately 30 days from yesterday. We've got fabulous weather, but there's a lot not to like about California 'cept my...
