I just got my M&P9c back from James at XD-hs 2000 and couldn't be happier with the work he did. Got the slide refinished in OD Green, AmeriGlo night sights, and Apex DCAEK trigger kit.

I like it, but you need more light or a flash to show off that OD. ;)

Top Serrations aid one-handed racking. Side serrations aid press check. Mild stippling on front strap and reprofiled/thinner trigger guard raises grip position. Both wear Heine Straight Eight Ledge NS now. ATEi trigger and sear jobs also.
 
Been looking into doing some stippling on my 9FS... fully capable DIY kinda guy but it makes me nervous not so much on the back grip bc obviously its replaceable not to mention i have two sizes to practice on ill never use... Really intersested in what you used jayman to get that effect seen ppl using things like allen wrenches etc and etc but my major concern is comfortability... really like the look of the grips jayman but doesnt strike me as very comfortable either way nice work
 
The only thing special on my 9c is some stippling from A2 stippling. I highly recommend his work.

This is my M&P 9c, I've stuck to performance mods for now, but soon I want to start mod'n the appearance. So far I have added a Burris Fastfire II red dot mounted on a dovetail base. I installed a HiViz fiber optic front sight post. I switched out some internals for an Apex RAM and Ultimate Striker Block upgrade. And last but not least, I mounted a Viridian C5L. She is coming along nicely and I still have so much I want to do. I'm gonna get a few more performance mods, but then I'm sending her off first chance I get to get some stippling and, if I can find someone, some machining on my slide. I don't even want to start thinking about colors. Take it in steps lol.

The only modification I made to my 9L CORE was the Apex polymer kit. Nothing external. My FS9 and 9c are stock (except for the 2000 round trigger job;))
 
Here is my 3 gun competition pistol. Apex inards. Catalyst mag release. Taylor Freelance base pads. ISMI 13# recoil spring. Speed Shooter Specialties magwell.

How did you get that stippling done on your pro series?

See page one of this thread.......A2 Stippling. Awesome work and a great guy. I think he might be deployed right now but he is always taking orders and might have some stuff still in stock that he can ship.
 
Yes, no, maybe... it all depends. My my concealed carry and personal defense pieces I leave pretty much stock. These guns I view as tools. I may smooth up the stock trigger, ad a finger extension to a magazine on a subcompact or upgrade sites if I feel it would be helpful but I don't do 'bling' on these guns. I figure I wouldn't nickle plate my framing hammer so why dress up my 'work guns'. Besides, I'm not sure how that might play out in a court of law if I ever was involved in a shooting.

My target and hunting guns are a different story. I'll do mechanical mods. such as after market triggers, springs, sites or optics, even barrels to enhance performance. I also like to dress these guns up a bit with fancy stocks, etc.

So it all depends on what gun your talking about and it's intended use.
