per the rules you can not remove a safety.

 

But answer my question. How in the world would they ever know? It’s literally the same hung as ignorant purchased without. They would never know that it had a safety on the gun (I have since purchase another without for what it’s worth.)

I want to be within the rules so I don’t get to a large scale event and get DQ’d. But at the same time, I just don’t see how they’d ever know. It’s literally the same exact thing without the safety, just simply plugged at the factory. Makes Zero sense (but after all, I don’t make the rules and I can respect what it is.)

BlueBullet, I agree. It does feel good, however I’ve noticed more comfort on the M&P without the safety. Just feels better to me. I own 2, so I’m going to plug one and leave the other stock and see which I ultimately prefer.

Haha thanks guys. Plugging away.

Hey guys. First off, what a great forum. Lots of great info. I need clarification on a rule. I recently purchased an M&P 9 2.0 FDE 5”. At the time, it was only available with the Thumb safety. Now they offer a model without. If I plan to shoot this gun in matches, can I remove the safety and plug the fram with the factory plugs that S&W sent me? I’ve searched this through and through and can’t clarify. If I can’t, here’s my next question... how in the world would an “official” ever know it was removed if I use the factory plugs? I’ve already verified with Smith that they only make one frame, it’s just simply plugged from the factory. Additionally, considering the gun is offered BOTH ways, does that make it a “legal” alteration? Thanks in advance, and I apologize already as I’m sure you’re tired of this question. Again, just read many different opinions.
