They've been working on it for a couple of years now. If when I finally get around to installing the racker it's available, and they're able to ship to where I am, wonderful. But for now, I'll just keep the steel one Joe recommended in mind, since I can have it and fit it right now.

Perfect, these are even better than what I had in mind. Thanks, friend.

If anyone finds out what Beretta magwell works with the Taylor Freelance extensions, I would appreciate it if you post your results here. I'd like to try out the +9 versions for a 92A1 I'm kitting out for Open, and if they can be paired up with a magwell, that would just be wonderful.

I thought I was gonna have to do some fitting to get one, but it never hurts to ask, right? Thanks for the advice on the steel part, I'll get one of the curved ones and see how I can make it fit on the dovetail rear.

It's exactly as the name implies. I have a Beretta, specifically a 92A1, and an Aimpoint PRO I'm not using, and I'm going to put them together into an Open gun. Is there any slide racker that anyone knows about that can fit into where the rear sight is? Or should I just leave it alone? Any suggestions are welcome.

Performance Center M&P9L 1.0 for Carry Optics at the moment. Have a Sig Sauer 1911 Extreme for SS/CDP whenever I want to break that one out. I carry a Performance Center M&P Shield 1.0.

People in this forum usually swap out barrels either because they want better accuracy via a gunsmith-fit barrel, or because they want to compete in different divisions. I don't think I've ever seen any evidence of an M&P barrel ever wearing out anywhere. I've seen at least one report of a frame breaking after hitting north of 10K rounds, but never the barrels. EDIT: I can't even find the article I found of the M&P failure after 10K from years back.

I started going to matches regularly at 33, but want to pick up the sport more seriously now at 35. Seeing all these replies makes me feel good about it. It should make you feel good about it too.

Leupold makes one. It's on Optics Planet.

In my experience, yes. The extra weight does help with perceived recoil, as would adding weight to a firearm as light as an M&P. It can also mess with your transitions if you're used to doing them with the nonexistent weight, since the tungsten guide rod will throw off the balance of your gun forward. But none of it is as massive as the percentage suggests. It's just a small part that, when added with more small parts like your own training and other modifications to the pistol can end up making an overall big difference.

They do. They sell ISMI and Wolff springs, depending on the guide rod you go with. I have the tungsten guide rod for Wolff springs, and it's been good to me so far.

Next IDPA match, I'm gonna break out my Performance Center Shield 1.0.

In my M&P mags the Carver Custom extensions get me 23+1. For as long as the Beretta 92 has been on the market, I find the present selection for the 92 lacking.

Fancy. Did you use the RS Regulate lower mount with rings, or did you use another way to mount it?

This. Even if you're adding the parts yourself and looking for sales, coupons, and deals, the price will add up between everything to get it exactly how you want. Might be a little less if you're looking at a Limited gun vs. Open, but the wallets starts to burn regardless.
