Lazer Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 So a little while back I was thinking about getting into Open, then realized I'm way too poor for that. Ended up getting a performance center m&p pro core thnking that I could shoot open in local steel matches, and production / carry optics for uspsa. I then realized that the whole 'ported glocks are ok with a non-ported barrel' doesn't apply across the board. Checked the production gun list this am to see if I needed to start figuring out what I'm going to do, and the ported M&Ps have been added to the production list and are approved for Production and CO when used with a non-ported barrel. Just thought I'd throw that out there, as I seemed to find a lot of miss-information when I originally researched the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've always though that was a clever way to get yourself a 'lightened slide' in production, ported slide, solid barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 S&W must have hit the 2000 mark for those pistols. Now to get a ported slide and a CORE model to go seemlessly between Production and CO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkMyDuds Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 What effect does the lighter slide (vs. the regular pro 5'') have on recoil and splits? Theoretically, it reduces cycle time and enables the use of lighter recoil spring (11#) reliably. However, does it also mean more muzzle flip due to reduced weight?

EngineerEli Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I do admit the weight difference may be minimal on the ported M&Ps and the resulting change in recoil feel may be as well. That said, I noticed a very substantial difference in the recoil feel of my Stock III and my Stock II who's slides are about a half inch different in length, and the shorter stock II has a cone barrel, further reducing the slide weight.

want2race Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Doesn't the PC ported version also have the trigger over travel stop? Seems that model, with a 5" Apex barrel would be perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKr Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yes to the trigger over stop. Regarding slide lightening with the model #10098, I notice a very large difference between it and the 9c. The 9c having a 3" barrel, and matching slide, of course. I think I'd love to have a 9c CORE for CO division. I didn't look to see if it was on the approved list.

want2race Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I just looked at the appendix page of the rules. Confirmed that all ported models are legal, if non ported barrel is used. Now, does this mean I can clone it using my Pro? I just want the darn trigger stop. I made an internal one that works but the trigger still flexes (I mash the trigger).

Does this mean I can use my magna-ported CORE slide with RMR and non-ported KKM barrel on my 9L frame in CO division? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKr Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I believe that it needs to be an approved factory model with 2k or some such number made. It's in the list of approved guns or it's not legal for Production or CO. But I'm not a huge rules guy and could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mully383 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Of course it's approved now. Well I geuss I could build a PC and use my pro as a backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
