It's actually just the end of the guide rod...it looks like a nut screwed into the end. My serial number is MPX65xx.

Hey bkp3gen,
Just one question for you on your new 4013. Can you compare the 4013 to your 6906? I'm curious if the 4013 uses the 6906 slide or the 4516 slide. The PC Shorty uses the 6906 slide I know, just not sure about the 4013.

Thanks,
Sam

I'll let you know when I get back into town. It should work but I'll run it thru some snap caps to make sure everything functions.

This is my first post and my first S&W auto in a long time (I lost a little faith when they started in with those silly internal locks). But, I but I couldn't pass up this all stainless single-stack:

No, not this one; there's a fairly long story behind it. PPC pistols are sold only to LE. It took help from two friends and a round-about way through two states to land it.
 
They are getting hard to find.
A friend found this one for me. Someone needed some cash, walked into his shop and he bought it. Called me and he made a couple of bucks and I have one sweet-tack driving 745.
 
Just got this one, an unfired 5906. Been looking for one for quite a while, just changed the grip from curved to straight.

I know that a lot of folks like them tupperware framed guns.. I guess that I am old school and still in love with the all steel ones.. even though I do own one that has tupperware, only because it is used at work.
 
Dustin, Welcome to the Smith Forum. I think you will be pleased with your first pistol. The M&P40C is my issued service pistol and I've been carrying it for about a year now. My department traded in several different models (mostly S&W’s) to switch to the M&P line. Our uniformed folks carry the full size M&P40 and the M&P40C is carried by plain clothes personnel and command staff.

My compact M&P rides nicely on my hip in a variety of holsters, both on and off duty, and it has served me quite well. It has been 100% reliable and I feel that it actually recoils less than the Glock 23 that it replaced. I also love the versatility of being able to carry it with the pink rest magazine for better shooting, the flat base pad for ultra concealed carry and when I am in uniform I carry 15 shot magazines for spares. The 40C is also an ideal back up to the full size M&P40 as you can carry the smaller pistol and use the larger magazines if you ever needed the backup.

Best of luck with your new M&P compact and let us know if you have any questions. - Mark

Mark,

Thanks for the welcome and all the info! I'm thinking about a serpa style holder for regular carry and maybe for concealed carry too. I think I may pick up a fullsize M&P mag. for backup like you recommended! Do you know where I can get accessories for these guns? Only S&W make the mags for this gun correct? Was thinking about getting a laser too. All in due time though.
