M&P picture thread.

Jar-3,

Who did your beaver tail reduction job?

My EDC is a 9C and most of those holsters also fit my full size M&P9 and 40. These all fit works except for my Miami Classic II rig. The leather holster on that is made for the M&P9c and the beaver tails of the 9fs and 40fs do not allow for the holster strap to snap shut.

I do not want to alter the Galco hoster, so I was thinking about altering the beaver tails. How difficult or costly is this?

I saw you were going to have a problem like this in your very first photo. I don't know about you man but I wouldn't be happy with that even in my state of WI in which there is no penalty for flashing your firearm...just sayin.

I might try sliding it around back some, maybe about the 4:00 position.

I did. It wasn't difficult at all. I also did my fiance's Christmas gift of an M&P .45. So I have learned myself 2 ways to do it:

The M&P 9 you're looking at was done with a dremel sanding wheel to get the bulk off then fine tuned with files and fine grit sandpaper.

For her .45, I used a cut off wheel, then shaped it with files and fine grit sandpaper.

Either method will work well as long as you measure twice and cut once. Steady hand and DON'T RUSH! I'd post pics of hers, but its wrapped and waiting to go under the tree. If you have any questions or need guidance, PM me.
 
Here's my M&P40 with a DCAEK. I thought I loved this gun before, but after the Apex kit it is so smooth I never want to put it down, I could dry fire it all day.

Had to do a little sanding on the trigger guard and near the sear housing pin, after a day of shooting I was getting blisters and my skin was coming off. Next thing is a bead blast, slide melt, and polish job on the slide, barrel, and levers. I'm sure there will be many more upgrades to follow, there always is!! :D
 
Here is my collection. Starting at top right, I have a pair of 9FS's (DFE and Black), a 9C, a .357FS and Compact, a .45FS , and a pair of 45C's (DFE and Black), a .40C, and a pair of 40FS' (DFE and Black).

Are you gonna bead blast the slide to make it two tone? :confused:

And "slide meld" meaning round off your square slide?

I didn't know that could be done to a M&P slide.

Can it?

Sounds great to me. :D

By the way - I did the Apex kit and man are you right - I love the results.

:cool:

Yeah I'm gonna bead blast it, I like the two tone look. Yeah you can, basically you just knock down all the sharp edges. Check out the melt jobs at Burwellguns.com he does some really good work.
 
Jay5oh, if you don't mind me asking, how do you like the M&P-22?

I am really considering one for a fun range/plinking gun.
