BrianATL Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Dan which length M&P works best for your open setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Burwell Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Mine right now is on full size 9 (4.25in). Dave Olhasso is building one on a 9L(5in). I like sharp fast recoil and am using 115s he likes soft so he is using the longer barrel with 124s. In the end it is what you like the 5 in will be easier to make major with, but I am doing it no problem with my 4.25 in. Actually I worked my way up to 185pf without any problems with my 4.25.

NoSteel Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hmm, M&P Pro Open Gun. Since the magwell and extended mag bases are already in place on mine I'll be making a list of what to purchase next when Dan has the comps ready!!! Other than Revolver Open is the only class I haven't tried since starting this sport last year so why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a63829 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Good Evening, If you already have an M&P 9L. How much would it cost to convert it to an open gun? I have an M&P 9L, which I am shooting production with, but I saw the M&P 9L open gun and I fell in love with it. I would appreciate your time and help. Joel A.

Morales A-63829 Joel, Hard question to answer right now, as I still need to finish testing things before I will know waht all it is going to take. but the minimum would be the storm lake barrel and a comp along with the mag well and mag extensions from Kenny. The springs seem to be the hard part, there need to be a fine balance here. I just recently put a C-more STS on mine to see if that is going to hold up well to permently replace my Jpoint. The STS looks a heck of a lot nicer. I am about to start in on one made from a 9L for my wife to shoot next year in open, So I should have a better Idea of const on a 9L in a couple months. After doing some weighing and measureing I am starting to think the 9L is a better starting point as the slide will be easier to lighten (which will mean cheaper to do for a customer). hope this helps a little.
