Chopped Full Size M&P 9

Look closely at the pictures lsbbigdog posted. You can see that all the edges of the slide are rounded off. It makes the slide look like it was melted a little.
 
It would be nice is the factory made 4-inch barreled guns with the compact handle. Kinda like a CCO Colt. I would own one or two for sure.

Looks really good MP1SG. Enjoy that thing.
 
Hi
Thanks I will enjoy it. Next up is either a slide melt or cerakote Maybe both.
thanks for posting those pictures

The Holster is a Leather lined Kydex by Garrett Industries, Have had this new chopped piece for about 24 hrs now and have been carrying ever since. Conceals well and sits well even while driving.

How do you like your Garrett Holster?

They look great and seem to be a high quality product.
 
Hi
The Garrett holster is great, Leather lined greay quality and craftmanship. I have one for my shield as well. Also bought a double mag carrier for the shield,and a single for the Full size 9mm. The double mag carrier can be seperated and used as a single. Garrett has several different ways to fasten the carriers to your belt. Cannot say enough good things about the holster hugs the body,conceals well and durable. worth every dime and sheryl garrett is great to deal with.

You put a full size 45 slide and barrel on a compact frame? Pic?

Yes, slide and barrel from full size M&P 45 goes right on the M&P 45C frame. The frames are same length, only difference is the short grip. Function was perfect. Put the M&P 45C back to stock and sold it to finance another project. Should have done photos, but this is an easily repeated swap by anyone with the two pistols.

I have the FS45 and liked the hand grip. The mid size felt better than the 45c. C was just a little too short gripped for me. Nice idea though.

So they are. I learned something new today. :D
 
Seems like a good idea. Basically, an M&P40C with a longer barrel. I like my 9C for the same reason. Compact 10-round when I want it, full size gripped 17-round when I want that. For ME, the C is accurate enough at the distances I want to shoot, but it's a great idea if you want or need the longer sight radius (I doubt there's a real difference in accuracy, other than that).
 
MP1SG....VERY NICE! Disregard the trolls who only want to send negative vibes, some need a little more of a life or a little more thought before they post.
 
Thanks. Ya, Its not for everyone, But the balance is really unbelievable. The long slide aids in recoil management, aids in a second follow up shot. The chopped grip is comfortable while riding a car, i always found guns with a longer grip always poked into the seat where i would have to move the gun to get comfortable. Its a nice weapon, I plan on putting a few rounds through it tonight
Thanks

Put some more rounds through my chopped M&P, just over 450 now without a single malfunction. I have shot some Federal Champion, Winchester white Box, Aguila (which has been very reliable and accurate) some of my Buddies reloads and some GDHP 124 gr +P which is my carry load.
So far I am very pleased with this custom job, Like I said earlier, the gun feels very balanced in my hand.

More to follow

How are you digging the trigger Alex? This one had a MA trigger (10lbs). A trigger job was done to bring in down to about 5.5lbs with a tactile reset.

Smooth as butter, A noticable reset and NO grity feeling in the trigger. Real Real nice
 
As an Illinois resident getting ready finally for conceal carry, I think I'm going to get my full size m&p 40 chopped. I got my crossbreed supertuck and no matter what position the grip still prints. Wife actually said get a new gun, but I think I will chop theffull-size, then still by something. LOL. The only downside is the smaller mag capacity.

I figure I'd chime in.. I do about 2-3 of M&P chops a month.. I think it's because of the appendix carry fad and getting the best of both worlds..Easy to conceal and a full size gun if need.Longer sight radius and better recoil management due to the heavier slide than a compact and you can still change backstaps the way I do it if needed.

This one chopped with 360 texture , carry melt and sniper grey Cerakote

First post here on the forums, researching what it takes to chop a full size. Do you cut the backstrap as well? What about the tool? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
