Customized M&P9-CT and M&P9c ~pic heavy~

Doug at BilletFlow did the top and side serrations and Joeywhat at Michigan Gun Owners did the stippling.
...and yeah, full size is about 500rds dirty and only gonna get dirtier.

The serrations are purposeful and give you aggressive purchase on every surface of the slide. You can one-hand rack it on the top of the slide on a pants leg, belt, table edge, pretty much anything. The top serrations match the figure, depth and cut angle of the factory side ones at the rear on a stock slide. The Front slide serrations aid in press checking the gun. I requested those in addition to the top serrations after trying another gun without.
I felt the Melonite was a bit slicker than the tenifer finish on my G19 so it seemed necessary. Doug and he got them just right.
The slide has had the Melonite finish reapplied also by a local refinisher.

Both guns have Dougs drop in sears for reduced pre-travel, pull weight and overtravel. Trigger pulls and resets are just stellar, outstanding feel and control. About 4lbs each and reset distance is now reduced to 1/8".

Joey showed me a few stippling jobs he had done and I asked him for a finer slightly less coarse texture and he pulled it off to perfection.
Aggressive texture but not abrasive. Very even and consistent depths and material displacement while maintaining the curving borders of the grip.
I only wanted the front strap textured so if you want more he can do full coverage too.
Also did some finger placement pads for doing drills and safety while holstering or non-aimed handling. If your finger is not on the trigger, it should be on the pad basically. He also relieved the rear of the trigger guards for a slightly higher grip placement.

Both guns will soon have Heinie LEDGE Straight 8 Night Sights which are on order.
M&P currently had Bowie 10-8 Night Sights and the M&P9c has stock 3-dot.

Both of these things feel great and it is hard to put them down or stop dryfiring at Kyle Buschs tires during the all-star race. Did so just long enough to type this up.

Wow...those fish have a lot of scales. I really like the work that was done on your M&P's. They don't look overdone a bit either. Good Work!!!
 
I wonder if the slides tends to slip when you rack it. ;) I am obviously kidding as that is probably the most aggressive slide I have ever seen! Looks awesome.

:D

I really like the stippling on the frontstrap and the fingerpads on the sides...I've thought about doing something like that on mine.

Hey, thanks guys!

If you try it yourself use a fine point and go slow. Took my buddy Joey quite a bit of practice to get it to this level of consistency.
 
Cool I guess.

The stippling looks great. The sear jobs are a great idea.

The scaling on the top of the slides is a bit much and screams tactically unsound customization thats more about demonstrating the depth of ones wallet than any sound tactical advantage.

You could have just changed out the rear sight if you were worried about one handed cocking. Instead you now have a pistol that looks like you want to do ridiculous and dangerous one handed chamber checks like white coated ninja guy does in the elevator scene in the second Matrix movie. I can honestly think of no other reason for going that over board on scaling the top of the slide like that.

Sorry, but thats what it looks like to me.

The serrations were this guys idea and I guarantee you they are functional and tactically sound.

The rear sight already has a ledge for a belt rack, those are 10-8 Bowie sights. Not the point anyway.
 
Of course they are....:rolleyes:

And if I was selling scaleing jobs in an ever tightening gunsmithing market...I'd be proclaiming slide top serations to be the greatest tactical advance since rifled barrels to.

Wow, you must have an awesome and wide-ranging background of tactical training and practical field experience to make such a judgment. That and your concern for peoples wallets and the economy is so thoughtful too.
I'm sure you saved a few people from going overboard today. Phew....

Really? The guy that first did it in that video makes no money off it and it certaintly does have a tactical advantage. How you dont see that I have no idea. Being able to rack the slide on your pants with the serrations is incredibly easier than trying to rack the slide on your holster with a small ledge of the sight.
 
Hey Postban, I noticed that your FS pistol is equipped with a CTC laser grip. Is there any reason why your compact doesn't also have one? Just wondering.
 
lighten up... :)

I cant afford to do that.... BUT IT LOOKS AWESOME!!!
Seems like it would add to the friction for single hand racking.

lighten up guys.. come on..... "can't we all just get along"

Looks beautiful too!!
Mine is just stock... and I am chicken to start messin with it just yet.:eek:
 

Had about 200rds through it shooting 1" dots 1-2-3-4 and Dot torture tonight and one went bang [normal] and opened about 1/8" and locked in that position, would not open or close.

Then it came to me, punch the muzzle against the bench at the range. I chipped the formica on the edge of the counter but no mark on the gun. That got it open, but the case was still stuck in the chamber. Then a Bic pen plunged down the bbl got it cleared.

Got it home and cleaned it, took these pics. Thought about it some more. This is 1999 Wolf 9mm 115gr FMJ, still have one more unopened case of it with a few hundred left of this one.

The M&P9 and my PPS9 ran perfect with the old cheap crap ammo.

I'm callin fluke. I have run multiple K of this through my G19, an UZI semi, a SIG P226, Beretta M92fs, 1K through a KelTec P11, 1K through a KelTec Sub2000, AA Arms AP9 and a few more I cannot recall.
 
Wouldn't be the first ammo related failure associated with Wolf.

Beautiful work all the way around! I love the look of the FS.
