Performance Center Slide Kits

[RichieE46]

One important note, for those of us who live in CA with the Handgun Roster, this is the "easiest" way to get a ported CORE/PC M&P. I got a 4.25" slide from grabagun about a week ago and put it on my 2013 M&P9 full size with a Trijicon RM06. Haven't tested it yet since my usual range just went out of business, but hoping to check out a new place this week.

Any update? Have you shot yours yet? I live in CA as well and thinking of getting the 4.25" or 5" PC slide 9mm.

Am interested in this - and also curious what sight you all are considering and why?

Leupold deltapoint was what they advertised with so I went with that and am very happy....RMR are also really nice

I've had mine going on two months. The barrel and slide fit was very loose so I swapped the barrel with the Apex semi-fit. The frame I used was from my M&P9FS that I had installed the the Apex trigger kit. Very accurate.

Did you go with the SDI or gunsmith version?

Switched to a new range a month ago and finally tested the performance center ported slide kit. I really like it. I have a Trijicon RM06 on it and it is great. As expected, the ported barrel gets incredibly dirty after shooting minimal rounds, but I actually feel it reduces recoil and I am a big fan of using red dots.

I went with the semi-fit version. Not that hard to fit. Just have to take your time.

I'd prefer to spend the extra $$$ and have another gun. That's why I don't buy the SIG kits. $400.00 and I can get the gun for $435.00...lol

Alas, that is not an option for some of us.

Correct. That's why I said, I and not We. LOL

Did that barrel come ported to take advantage of this feature on this slide? Cause I've had mine for about 4 months and always welcome more accuracy

Shot with mine today. IDK how much is related to the ports and how much is related to the longer slide, but this has noticeably less muzzle flip compared to the stock slide; not that the 4.25" has much flip to begin with.

I think you confirmed what i was thinking, sounds like you were able to install a 5" PC slde kit on your 4.25" frame. I emailed SW and was told by them that my M&P FS had to already have a 5" barrel in order to use the 5" PC slide kit, but the FS frame looks the same to me for both sizes. If you indeed increased barrel length with a 5" kit did you have any problems that required modifications to the frame?

The slide kit came with the stainless 5" Ported barrel. It did not come with the recoil spring assembly so you have to use your existing one. They are also the same. Perhaps there's some confusion here.

No mods needed on mine. Fit like it was made for it.
