    Safariland 7377-819-411 Holster For M&P L/Pro

    in Gear & Accessories

    Posted

    I ordered the Safariland 7377-819-411 holster for my M&PL 9mm. I used the Holster Finder from Safariland's website to get the specific model/nomenclature. The holster finder shows this holster is available for the M&PL however not the M&P 9mm Pro 5".

    Today I received the holster and it doesn't fit the M&PL however does fit my M&P Pro. It's my understanding the slides have a slightly different profile. I called Safariland today and basically the woman argued with me that it would fit my M&PL (as I was sitting at the dining room table with both models and the holster.) Supposedly she is contacting their designers who will be in contact.



    ​Has anyone else encountered this problem?



    Aside from it not fitting it's intended gun I think this will be a great 3 Gun holster with the ALS for those wanting more retention.



    Thanks

    Dawson Precision Front Sight Problems

    in S&W (M&P, etc)

    Posted

    Thanks for all the answers. Ive shot had more or less the same results with AE 115s gr, AE 124 gr, WWB 115 gr and the Freedom Munitions 115 gr. The main reason I went with the Dawson's was to give me flexibility in regards to ammo considering how hard it is to source a consistent load.

    The gun has always shot low hence the lower front sight and having to elevate the rear.

    Do you guys think the front is fit correctly considering how high it sits in the dovetail, the gap between the bottom of the sight and the bottom of the dovetail as well as the blade not sitting flush on the slide?

    Thanks again. I really appreciate all your guidance.

    Dawson Precision Front Sight Problems

    Posted · Edited by Nick S

    Several weeks ago I ordered a Dawson Adjustable Rear and .305 FO front for my M&PL. I ordered the .305 front per the recommendation of SSS. After having the sights installed by a gunsmith I had to raise the rear to a ridiculous level to zero the gun. I could see light below the rear sight.

    I called Dawson who advised the .285 front was needed and they very graciously sent me a new front sight. I took the gun back to the gunsmith and had the new front installed. I went and rezeroed the gun and the rear sight still seems to be elevated high however I no longer saw light leaking in under the sight picture.

    After some further evaluation it appears the front sight is sitting high in the dovetail. Is this normal or an improperly fitted front sight? Also, could the sight sitting high in the dovetail be contributing to what I consider the rear sight being elevated in a high position.

    This whole episode is getting rather frustrating and expensive as the gunsmith has charged me 40 dollars for each install and I feel it's still not correct. If you guys have any guidance I would appreciate it.

    Ammo is Freedom Arms 115 grain FMJ @ 20 yds.

    Thanks

    TTI Basepads

    in S&W (M&P, etc)

    Quick question about the TTI base pads. Do you use the butt plate catch plate or just let the spring rest into the bottom of the base pad?

    Thanks

    Nick

    Hey Nick, the spring just sits in the base pad. Catch plates aren't used. That goes for the TTIs and TF.

    Thanks Mike!
