M&P Thumb Safety - where to get a spare?

[Slave]

You guys have any luck getting a replacement safety?

I called S&W, they said they didn't sell it, but gave me a part number.

I called both Brownells and Speedshooters, both of which said they didn't carry that part.

Brownells said that the part number leads to a magazine for a .45acp.

Any help would be great guys.

Hey there Slave

I am waiting on Kenny from from Smith & Wesson® Performance Accessories from Speed Shooter Specialties he sent me a safety, so once I get it which should be buy Friday I'll post what I get as far as info. Or goto the website and call and ask for Kenny.

The place I got my M&P from has a gun smith and cut the right side off for me, really beautiful work, cost me 10$ to me well worth it.

 

[Slave]

thanks. I hope to get the right side cut off, and the left side cut down. Not in half the long way, but a ridge or two cut off. That safety is way way too wide, it digs in me back. With a crossbreed supertuck it should be okay.

I ordered some frame plugs for it also.

Anyone ever able to track this down? I am looking to add a safety to my 9C and just need the lever at this point.

Thanks.

I got mine from Speed Shooter Specialties three years ago, so I do not know if they still carry them.

I do thank you al for your help and guiding's. Your thoughts are the same, it is my thinking that S&W; should not ignore their customer's request. The pistol is like a car that would call for parts replacements.

S&W is to be responsibly and have those parts for their customers like you and I. That is the way of the customers relationship, when we purchase their Pistols hopping that when we need their help they should replace or sell out that parts that we need.

Good info, I am picking up a 9c today with safety and may remove the right side too, if I decide on the CTG. Good to know!

The levers are prominent for sure and might shave the left side down a bit too.

The next question is: Are there any threads on holsters that may or may not be too compatible w/ the 9C thumb safeties??? I am a bit concerned it would be flipped off (or on for that matter) rubbing against a holster guard or my side.

Flame Red, you've got your problem solved, right? The part number should be on your invoice & I would be interested in knowing what it is.

The part number 39-210-00-00 isn't a S&W part number. I've never seen them use a part number with dashes. It is more likely 392100000, & that doesn't come up as valid on the online stores. Looking at a S&W parts fiche they don't seem to offer the part separately. I don't know what the solution is & would be interested in knowing the answer.

i Just purchased M&p 40 without the thumb safety. i would like to have one put on, i cant seem to find anything online as to where to find one. Does anyone know where i might be able to find a thumb safety for my gun. Thank you for your time..

M&P parts are really difficult to find in-stock these days.

Speed Shooter Specialities (Welcome to Speed Shooter Specialties) carries the lever and the necessary spring and detent, but the lever is not in stock right now.

Other possible source include Brownells and Midway USA.

 

[JOHNYSWAY]

Thank You, i will see what i can find.

Both my full size and compact have thumb safeties on them. I'm am thinking of cutting the right side off and using the CTG but I would like to have a back up if i want to put it back to the original way. Did anybody figure out what the part number was or find a place to buy the parts?

I got mine from the Speed Shooter's link in post #30 recently (abt a month ago).

Hello Folks,

Great thread, Thanks to all that who provided the right information. I'm going to remove the right-side for a Crimson Trace grip as well. While the block/safety is out for cutting, I was wondering if there were any after-market or different Smith safeties around that'll fit? Say, something more like the Shield or BodyGuard380 where it's got a flatter profile?

I suppose you could shave a ridge or two off the remaining left-side to make the profile better, but a factory/designed catch sort of like the slide-release would really be the best of all worlds to me; keep the left-side safety (whether you use it or not) and have the slimmest profile of the gun possible.

Anyone see anything like this out there?

Thanks for any input...

I pulled the safety out of my 45C, and S&W CS sent me a set of plugs at no charge. It looks like the safety was never installed in the first place. I could not find anyone who was willing to rework the safety to match a 1911 low mount safety so I removed the whole mechanism.
