Glockster35 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 this thing needs an extra inch. -and an owner who's not color blind. I gotta ask, what is the purpose of the stippling on the side of the trigger guard? Seems useless to me, and not very attractive to look at! Is there an advantage to it?

Seems useless to me, and not very attractive to look at! Is there an advantage to it? This pistol has had so many different stippling and re-stippling patterns during its life so that there are remnants and relics of earlier uses and treatments of this particular gun. No advantage to it on the side of the trigger guard, but no disadvantage either. I like the underside of trigger guards stippled sometimes, and it was more aesthetically pleasing back then to continue it up along the sides a bit. Id say you found one of the lesser unattractive parts of this pistol to notice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98sr20ve Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) Current MP9 sight radius is 6.4 inch's. Add .75 and you end up with a 7.15 or so sight radius. Current MP45 has a 6.8 RIGHT NOW. What do you all think of this with lighter loads? I asked this on the M&P forum as well. I too really want a M&P 40 with the 5 inch as well.

Kevin Kline Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 A very good inside source told me the 5" guns will be released end of Jan/beginning of Feb 2008. The 9mm will be released first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bierman Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I guess there aren't any LE agencies interested in the 5" gun? That's too bad, if they were we would definitely see the .40 before the 9mm. Oh well, I've waited this long, I guess I can wait a bit longer.

Do you think they meant "released at a show" or "sold to the public". I called S&W a week ago and the guy on the phone said the 5 inch would be presented formally at the 2008 Shot Show which would be Feb 2-5. Very sad as I want it released for sale NOW. They are busy with the next in the M&P line which is some sort of 45compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Probably meant released at the Shot Show, if the Shot Show is Feb 2-5. He did say it would be the beginning of Feb so that would coincide with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
