Great info, didnt know of a bunch of these

Hodgdon has a nice database too Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

The only difference should be weight, with the billet weighing more If you go the forged route, there are always items like arredondos magwell Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

They make great stuff, i have no doubt their m&p products work just as well as their glock stuff..... and they know their glocks. Give it a shot! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Love the TFs but theyre a major pain to disassemble/clean IMO Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Recently bought some stippled backstraps off ebay, look and feel great! Turned out to be the exact models speed shooter specialties is selling. I highly suggest you check them out, cant beat the price Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

If you dont trust the guys at botach, check out the prices at 44mag.com, should be similar Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Get the 45, complete the m&p trifecta I like the m&p45 MUCH more than the 40, it just seems to deal with the recoil better. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Had nothing but issues with my 47Ds. Using CMs with 0 problems now Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Ah magazine would be my guess. Had the same issue and eventually Robin Taylor from Taylor Freelance set me straight. He had me sand down all of the hard edges on the followers, clean the crap out of the tube, and trim away any excess material from the feedlip areas. Worked wonders My setup is near identical to yours, so its worth a shot Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

May be an issue with the loads you're using. Whats your current recipe? My guess is, not enough oomph

I hear ya PrinC, Something like the *thumb rest [generic]* for the glock, either in stock configuration or with SJC mount IS needed... if anyone comes up with something more permanent, please post it here @ Pipeliner: Sorry for the delayed response, its a GripForce beavertail, brownells/etc carries them

+1 H335 is all I use, works great

Slide-glide FTW, never going back

None that I'm aware of outside of open I'm sure a crafty shooter out there could figure out some way to attach a *thumb rest [generic]*

Tagged for future, thanks for the great info

+1 for 44mag.com, best prices I've seen and had them within a few days

That's one sweet m&p! Thanks for posting pics/refs!

Hahaha I love that thing!! Very cheap/worthwhile investment IMO... just because slide bite gets to be d*mn annoying with an aggressive grip

I went the frame mount as well, for that very reason. Loving the results

Im guessing it could be a defective barrel too, the Lee setup may throw out differing charges, but are just as unlikely to double-charge as a Dillon press is, simply by design. Sure, TG is a finicky powder, but that shouldnt play THIS large of a role in the Kaboomage. Was this a used pistol? How many rounds were down the pipe prior to the incident?

The G22 option gets my vote. You can convert it to 9mm if wanted, or leave it .40 and make Major easier Either way, starting with a Glock is going to be the most inexpensive option (and +1 for the Jager kit)

Thats the route i ended up going, very pleased with the results too I had heard that going with a longer barrel/slide wasn't a good option (I believe it was from the folks at SJC). Something about lower tolerances and fatigue. So I kept the 34 for production and bought an old G22 for the project. If you're going Major, a KKM barrel is a must

Nice to see another Washintonian! Welcome aboard and stay safe!!
