M&P 10mm mag interchange???

[SLIDER-in-KY]

I read somewhere (can’t remember where) that the M&P 10mm uses the same magazine as the M&P 45, only it uses a different follower. Can anyone confirm this??? I’m on the waiting list at my LGS for a 10mm and I’ve got some M&P 45 mags. Just wondering if I should save them and try to eventually get a couple 10mm followers.

It's a pretty good bet that THIS guy will eventually have followers for the 10mm mags. First rate vendor. If you message him he'll tell you. You would be forgiven if you tell him I sent you

I've bought from him like 8 or 10 times. This fella KNOWS what he is talkin about.

has anyone checked parts list to verify if the mag tubes are the same? that's the dead giveaway.

I have both pistols M&P 2.0 .45 and 10mm, while the .45 mags and 10mm mag bodies are the same external dimension(by eye not mic. measured) and they fit into and lock in each other’s pistol. The feed lips (top round retention areas) are visually different….the .45 having a wider opening between them as well as shorter contact area with the round being held than the 10mm…the notch on the back of the spine of the mag on the .45 mag is wider (of the differences This is the only one I don’t think would matter)….as well as different followers.

I loaded a couple 10mm rounds into a .45 mag… they went in and didn’t fall out on their own it when set on a table side by side standing on their base plates compared to a loaded 10mm mag the top 10mm round in the .45 mag was noticeably more pointed toward the ceiling caused by the differences mentioned above.

While I didn’t test fire…based on what I saw I wouldn’t use the .45 mags for anything other than a range experiment even if it fed a few times it’s asking to be the winner of the room temperature challenge in a non recreational use situation …..

Hopefully they get some magazines out for those of us that have this pistol and actually want to use it, 2 mags is not enough. Come on s&w don’t be “that company” lol

My pistols of other brands which I have in 10, and 40, the mags are interchangeable. I have a M&P in 10, but no longer a 40.

What pistol is that? Definitely not SW or Glock

My RIA 10mm double stack will take .40 and 10mm magazines. The 10 feeds 10, 40 and .357 SIG. The .40 feeds .40 and .357 SIG. Just need to swap in the .357 SIG barrel and spring.

What the world needs is a 21st Century John Moses Browning to whip these "adequate" pistol designers into shape. Maybe with a switch........

Nice fact-filled post, thank you. As for Smith being that company, looked what happened with Shield Plus mags. Waaay late, until the floodgates opened and you could order dozens by phoning Smith. Smith told me that they don't even make the SP mags. A subcontractor does.

FYI

some of us can't wait until "whenever", because after July it becomes never. Except for those neutered ones.

Good thing I have a RIA 1911A2 and a Glock 40 with plenty of normal and extended mags.
