M&P auto's

[TTSH]

Well, I say YES!!!

(just kidding - of course it is a "no"!)

 

[Lost Lake]

WAIT!!!

M&P's come in auto's now???


And no..... I don't want any more safeties!!

Auto or semi-auto.....

[ca survivor]

if it works as intended YES.

 

[mikeasb]

No. Had enough of them with 1911's. They don't need one either.

 

[txbdyguard69]

NO! K.I.S.S.

Auto as in Autoloader. Not as in automatic.

And I agree no grip safety necessary. There's already a drop safety. And if you want a safety to disable the trigger you can get a frame safety.

If your not smart enough to know a gun is a dangerous weapon, and can hurt you,
another safety isn't going to make any difference.

 

[NCavi8tor]

No way!!

[BigCityChief]

Not needed. Why fix something that isn't broken?

If I wanted a grip safety I'd get my old 1911 back. I feel just as safe with my safety-less M&Ps then I did with my 1911 cocked & locked, thumb safety set & round chambered carried in a trigger-covering holster on my belt.

I still want my 1911 back but not at the expense of getting rid of one of my M&Ps.

If S&W where to offer their M&P line of auto's with a grip safety would you support their effort?

What next? Add an IL with key?

I agree with the majority. No way.

 

[sipowicz]

No. But there is no reason trigger guards can't be shaped to open beer bottles

Very interesting reply's, Would have thought that another level of safety would be welcome?

Well I would assert that adding an additional safety feature to the M&P does not make it safer to start with, extra safeties add more complexity to the firearm which is just another part to break or malfunction. Considering malfunctions are one of the trickiest things for a new or experienced gun owner to handle and when cleared improperly are dangerous, minimizing malfunctions by keeping guns simple is the safest thing to do.

All I want is a drop safety on a non-range toy gun which almost all new production guns will have and a manual safety on a hammer fired carry gun with a round chambered. The safety arrangement on a hi power with the mag safety removed is what I like. Also more safeties equals more production steps equals a more expensive gun.

Auto as in Autoloader. Not as in automatic.

Sorry, auto to me means the gun fires as long as the trigger is pulled and there's ammo in the magazine or on the belt.

Maybe some of you younger guys think of auto as the way the rounds load into the chamber. Us old guys who used fully automatic machine guns still call them 'autos'.

Carry on!!

No and that's why I own M&Ps and not 1911 copies.

 

[chapnelson]

How bout airbags on skateboards after all who doesn't want more safety?

No.

You got it backwards. It's an old term that fell by the way side, still used by revolver aficionados. But you know us young folks, we're all about what our great grandparents did, straight razors, homemade cheese, and small batch beer.

Though I'd never say no to a full auto M&P, they'd just need a bigger magazine and a forward grip to add to my empty accessory rail…

Still no grip safety though!

I'm wrong? It's only September!! I can't be wrong this early in the year!!!

Well here's what my M16 selector switch looked like... Tell me if that says AUTO on it, and I can tell you what it does when I switch it to that and then pull the trigger....

[Johnmuratore]

Not only no, but hell no.

No, you're not wrong, but neither is KnightsFan or Buckey08 or anyone else in this thread. The term "auto" is used for many firearms that are simply auto-loading even if they are really semi-auto firing guns. It's just slang that has found it's way into the vocabulary of the majority of gun owners today.

There's no need to get bent out of shape over it. Just like "bullet" is actually just the projectile, but many use it in place of cartridge. It's just the nature of the language.

Also, the M-16 no longer has AUTO on it. That has been replaced with BURST.
