Just bought a nice 6” new to me Limited gun .40 late this fall with the thought of getting back in the game but between super limited available ammo and seemingly nonexistent primers, it looks like it was a wrong time to jump back in so I may just now sell it...

Yeah, just an old boomer relic like me, time to head out on the pack ice on a cold night.......

Thank you. I drew my pistol out of this holster so many times 30 years ago anything else just feels strange.

Looking at the rules all I can find is distance to inside of belt and height over belt . TIA.

Someone, and I can’t remember who, makes a thumb rest that attaches to the rail mount. I cut off the existing thumb rest and mounted a Gogun rest. It required a fair amount of material to be removed from the rail mounted rest so it would operate in an open holster though. It is totally farmed together but it actually works very well.

The Frankenstein in question. Getting the *thumb rest [generic]* mount to work in the holster required removing farm implement grade amounts of material. $30 mount was the victim. Looks like hell, works like heaven. You can all relax, I have decided to not give up my day job and become a pistolsmith.

Someday I will tell you all about the first open gun Caspian ever built and they throated the barrel. .38 Super & throated barrels =

I actually shot a fair amount of USPSA back in the days of single port compensators, 38 supers and 185 power factor. Had a couple 550's set up and shotgun/rifle were "side matches." I have flirted with the idea of getting back into pistol sport a few times off and on over the years with a couple outdated open guns that never ran. The M&P project came along last year when a CORE ended up in my hands that a client did not want. Unfortunately for my bank account I live only about 20 minutes away from Adam and Atlas Gunworks. After speaking with them last week, they have something in mind that might work for my massive hand. If I go that route I'll be back in the deep end new reloading set up and all. I still may order a little 9mm major just to see how long it takes to crack a slide on that M&P.

Thank you all for the information and the insight.

It seems to be permanently unavailable there.

As I am unsure of the viability or my commitment to my M&P Open gun project I'm reluctant to commit financial resources to a 9mm reloading set up. Is anyone aware of a new or remanufactured load that would make major out of a 5 inch barrel?

I'm doing the same the really economical way, M&P 5" Pro core 9mm with comp/barrel from Carver and Buris Fastfire III. Add a mag well and an Apex trigger and I'll be at < $1600 including gun. Yeah, I'll also need some mag pad kits and a few more mags but you get the point. Not the gun that a Trubor is but I can always upgrade if I get in the deep end again.......

So just the regular 014 for a M&P has enough adjustability in the muzzle platform to deal with that Carver comp correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, the title is confusing......it was late. And yes, I'm interested in what holster will work with a 5" M&P pro with a 3 port Carver comp. Thanks.

Curious as to what works with that set up as I may end up with one.
