M&P357c

[Glockman4]

I have a line on one of these, looks to be in like new condition. I've had the full size version for a while. Got it for a song years ago with several mags and Crimson Trace grips. I've been on the lookout for the compact version ever since, but they are very hard to find.

Hopefully I'll have it today or tomorrow and post some pictures.


Edited with pictures. It looks pretty much new, and came with the box and all accessories. Thrilled to have found this one. If I had been a few hours late in checking the used inventory post on the shop's website, I probably would have missed it. They do holds for 48 hours if you call in or email them.








Of course I had to get a couple of boxes of ammo too, since they had it cheaper than even most online sources..

.357 SIG is a great pistol round in a world where "good enough" has come to be defined as "just as good".

It's always been one of my favorite calibers.

I, happily, can shoot 357 SIG in all my M&Ps... Have fun!

Cheers!

Nice pickup! That does look almost new!! Can you read the date code on the label? Likely a 4 digit number.

If so, the 1st number is the year. The next 3 are the month/day in Julian.

It has the spent case envelope in the box, with a test fire date of 7-29-2010

Nice, was going to ask about the spent case.

You could have just bought an M&P40C and gotten a 357 Sig barrel.

That's what I did in 2018 when I converted my 40c to 357 SIG with a Storm Lake (RIP!) conversion barrel.



Sadly, Storm Lake appears to be out of business. It's too bad because their barrel is quite accurate and has worked flawlessly for 2900 rounds. The only problem I've had since the conversion was when I tried to use extra high velocity (1476 fps) Sellier & Bellot hollow points. That ammo simply overpowered my 40c's recoil spring, causing it to move so fast and so violently that the trigger would frequently fail to reset. Even a brand new factory recoil spring assembly could not handle the S&B ammo. (My larger and more robust SIG P229 handles the S&B ammo easily.) Fortunately, Lawman FMJ and Gold Dot HP (1350-1375 fps) have worked perfectly in my 40c conversion, so that's what I use. My 40c conversion has proven so reliable that it has become my EDC.

That's the exact same setup I'm running as my edc. Well with the addition of the Apex DCAEK and Truglo TFO's.

Well, since I absolutely "had to" (?) I grabbed a GLOCK (WHAT!) G29SF in 10mm to compliment my M&P 40C (with a 357 SIG barrel from KKM) just in case I was attacked by multiple ursine predators (yes, we actually do have black bears strolling the cul-de-sac upon occasion)...

The 357 SIG should still suffice as far as any twin legged predators are concerned!

Cheers!
