I finally decided to get my thumb out of my touch hole, and do two first's at once today. My first non-1911' hi-cap auto (ever) and my first 9 M.M. ever. Both on the same day! I'm feeling the need to breathe deeply into a brown paper bag now? Anyway, it's an M&P9c. Haven't noodled with the changeable back straps yet, but I suspect that like the 1911's, I'll end up happiest with the one closest duplicating an arched main spring housing. Questions for the collective Forum brain.
1- Is the thing supposed to come with two different style magazine base plates, one slightly extended for fourth finger purchase, the other, with about 3/16" worth of flat end cap?
This example has NOT got the optional mag drop safety, or the optional (required by some PD's) 10 # trigger rate.
Also, ANYONE who doesn't clean and inspect their new gun before range use is a moron! There's a lot of production crud floating around in it, and I'd like to make sure all the chips and flakes are out of it pre-firing.
I decided to pass (temporarily) on the factory listed night sights. They're not common, and tough to find. After an E mail to Truglo a few weeks ago who assured me that the M&P line is to be added to their fiberoptic/Tritium production in 09', I decided to wait for a more 24/7 type of front blade.
2- Is the magazine rebate good ONLY for the specific round count of magazine shipped WITH the gun. Or, could mine be used to get two full length examples for the full size M&P 9's?
Anyone with ANYTHING to say, positive OR negative about the gun, is welcome to respond. If you think the lines of folks trying to buy Ar's, AK's, and the like were long, you shoulda' seen them lined up (30 booths in operation, 16 people waiting in line to use them!) after being assigned numbers and a two hour wait for range slots?
