    Adding Safety to New M&Ps

    I could be very wrong but I don't think the Apex FSS is IDPA legal because it is an externally visible modification to the gun. The FSS uses a replacement trigger blade with a more Glock-like design. If you stick with the DCAEK which is IDPA legal, the trigger pull weight is high enough that...

    Ambi slide stop/release on M&P 9 Pro's

    I have two M&Ps: a 9FS and a 5" 9 Pro. The slide stop on the 9FS is quite stiff while the 9Pro is easier to actuate. However, the 9FS is much more likely to "auto-drop" on a mag insert. Make of that what you will.

    Order online, ship to home, save 90 minutes driving, time wasted while waiting in the store, and gas.

    Smith & Wesson M&P .40 longer barrel

    Why would you want to do this? The large point of having a longer barrel is to have a longer sight radius. If you have a longer barrel but the same length slide, the sight radius is the same so no improvement is found.

    M&P pro vs standard full size

    You can get the Pro with the 4.25" barrel as well. I have both a 9FS and now a 5" 9 Pro. If all you want is a plinker/SD gun, no real reason to go with the Pro. Save yourself the money and buy a standard FS, an Apex DCAEK, and RAM with the difference. With the aftermarket parts, you'll get a...

    Nice. Santa (me) brought a 5" Pro. It goes nicely with my 9FS.

    Confused!

    Ah! I agree with you. This is a $500 "tool gun.". If this were a multi-thousand dollar custom 1911, I might feel differently.

    Front site - double defect

    This, but I use Testors enamel. Can be had for less that $2/bottle at your local hobby shop. I put down one coat of flat white followed by a coat or two fluorescent red. VERY visible.

    Confused!

    I want to add an M&P9 to my collection and designate it as my SHTF gun. However, I would also like to use it for USPSA and IDPA. We don't have concealed carry here so that's not a concern. Is this the right place to start? S&W M&P 9mm 17RD NO MAG SFTY $482.00 SHIPS FREE I would add an Apex...

    Help me find a pair of grips

    I'm starting to think what I want doesn't exist. I'd love a set of rubber grips for my 686 exactly like Hogues but WITHOUT finger groves. I have big hands and use a high grip and the ridges just don't line up for me. Any suggestions? Alternatively, has anyone ever taken a Dremel to a set of...

    S&W's New Synthetic Grips?

    My 686 has the Hogues and I can't stand them. Like others, the groves don't line up with my fingers. As with others, I have big hands and hold high with thumbs forward. I've held the new grips but haven't shot them. For me, they're better than the Hogues but not perfect. For my stainless...
