JohnRodriguez Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) Just picked up my new M&P 9 today. on the drive down I was thinking about how I was going to disable the mag safety. When I picked up the gun, I pulled the trigger without a mag and the trigger dropped, cool. The gun also had a factory installed extended slide release. I wish I new this since, this morning I orded one from smith. The product code #is 209301 and it's not listed in the 2006 cataloge. This looks like the one to get for someone wanting to shoot in production. also checked it with a spare dawson from sight from my SW1911 and it fit. The height is .185 Edited October 14, 2006 by JohnRodriguez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysued Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) John, Did your gun have a Warning Laser Etched on the Bottom of the Ejection Port Side?? If so, you have one of the guns with "NO" Magazine Safety, that particular Model is not listed on the S&W Catalog. The next M&P 9 I get, I want the one without the Magazine Safety. Enjoy.

JohnRodriguez Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 yep it has the caution etched in the slide. be the quick way to spot one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 From what I've read S&W has stopped doing the slide etchings on guns without the magazine safeties. They have had so many orders for guns without the magazine safety and they didn't want the extra work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRodriguez Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Just got done doing a trigger job on my M&P. tore the gun completly apart and polished everything that makes contact. changed the angle of the trigger transfer bar to sear now have .23" total trigger travel. Started with 7lbs 2 oz, now has 4lbs 9oz. Not bad for 2hrs work, and no manual on how to tear it apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfinney Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Did my first pass at a M&P trigger job last night, using the instructions from http://www.burwellgunsmithing.com/M&Ptriggerjob1.htm Turned out pretty well, easy to work on, easy to modify. Got the trigger weight down to about 3.5 pounds, and reduced overtravel somewhat.... I did not take the safety plunger out of the slide to round its corners off and polish, as I did not take the rear sight off, but did everything else shown in the link..... its definitely much nicer. Next, after shooting it for a while for "break in", I'm going to polish the safety plunger and re-attack the sear angle/depth to see if I can get a little less overtravel and lighten it to sub 3 pounds. I'm waiting til I get a new rear sight, though, for the remaining work, either Warren or Dawson, whoever gets on the market first (anyone listening? ).

Chuck Anderson Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Smith has a picture of the new M&P9 Compact in the latest issue of American Rifleman. Looks like another winner for a carry gun. It's even got a little rail on the front for lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced the trigger return spring with a stock, glock trigger spring, and this cut about 1 lb off of my trigger pull weight. You might try this, as they are cheap, and easy to "undo" if you don't like it. I haven't had any problems with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The Blackhawk CQC and Serpa holsters for the G21 fit. They're even listed for the M&P in the new catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I borrowed a buddy's M&P to try it out. Sure feels nice in the hand. His gun already has a trigger job and is running about 4 lbs on my RCBS gauge. The reset is shorter too. The stock trigger return spring is taking 2.25lbs to pull the trigger to the stop with the slide off of the gun. I can see room for improvement here for sure. There is also a noticable increase in pressure when the safety plunger is engaged. For a competition gun I bet the plunger spring could be lightened at least a little bit.

rtr Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Anyone seen the M&P compact yet? How does it compare in size to a glock compact? Will they be making a subcompact model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Anyone seen the M&P compact yet? How does it compare in size to a glock compact? Will they be making a subcompact model? There you go. http://mp-pistol.com/boards/viewtopic.php?...ghlight=compact The compact is pretty subcompact. The standard M&P isn't much bigger than a Glock 19. So fairly compact. In theory a 5" model is in the works. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
