Aftermarket M&P Parts

There were some for sale on the EE. I put an offer on them but never heard back...HOW RUDE!!!!

Anyhow I guess someone else scooped them. I am not that hung up on them anyhow since I have had no probs with the new gen mags.

I am buying a magwell though. Curious if it makes any difference. I think it would be legal for ESP.

I tried for a long time to find adjustable sights for the M&P. Brownells sells them but can't send them to Canada.

In the long run I settled on a fiber optic front. THe M&P is accurate enough with the factory rear anyhow so I won't bother with an adjustable rear even if one becomes available.

Rupzuk are you anywhere near Kitimat?

Hi John
I'm in Rupert, so yes-fairly close "ish".
I too went to the fibre optic front sight but I also put on the the seratted rear sight as well. It was definately worth it but I'd still like a rear adjustable sight however if they're $285.00 I think I can live with what I have...

I would try starting with the MP Longslide version. Then put the adjustible sights on that.
I have the reg one and will be getting a new slide with adjustibles so i'm a little moe accurate at 50yrds when i'm not using the reg slide for duty pistol comps.
If brownells gives you hassels send it to ship happens in sumas then just walk across and get it.
 
Tunnel vision anyone??

Yeah okay. I will just walk down from Kitimat....shouldn't take more than a month or two. :cool:

In case you didn't notice the Nutz on this site come from across B.C. and all across Canada. The vast majority of us do not live in the lower mainland of B.C. nor do we want to.:eek:

Well I guess mine post was just for people with cars, trucks or maybe a Donkey?
Sorry you don't fall under that catagory of civilization.
just a suggestion for the people that live a little closer to the border.
 
I love my M&P even if it did/still does give me grief.

Had a problem with the mags dumping by themselves when I 1st bought it. Three replacement mag release springs later, no longer an issue.

Problem now is that it has a tendancy to ligh-strike the primer. I'm using Winchester small pistol, so that's not the issue. And you can tell that the primer strikes lack "oomph". I was using it for PPC courses and outta 150 rounds, I'll get 5-6 failures to go bang.
Any suggestions?


PS: I love my OEM sights. Other than maybe blacking out the dots for outdoor shooting, I group very well with my .40.
And this while running hot loads of 5.2-5.3 grains of HP38 behind 200 grain flat nose copper plated Frontier bullets.

Naw we we leave the donkey drivers to the folks in the lower mainland. They have more experience at it then John does in Kitimat.

Take Care

Undoubtably two of the dumbest first posts I have ever seen from a Newbie.

FYI we obviously don't have the same population density of jackasses/donkeys as you do so I bow to your experience in that regard.

Peter: Light strikes?? If your gun is all stock I would suggest cleaning the striker channel. If you get a buildup of gunk it can affect performance. Win primers are usually good-to-go in the M&P. I really liked my factory sights too but I found in action shooting these 50+ year old eyes just can't keep track of my front sight as well as I would like:) I sometimes find myself having to search for the front sight to confirm the sight picture before breaking the shot...not condusive to good times.:( The fiber optic front is defintely a worthwhile after-market addition for me. I am considering changing out the rear but I want to try the blacked out factory more before I put out the coin.:)

I have a magwell on the way..curious if it makes a real difference on the M&P as the shape of the mags makes for a quick change already.

I recently found an add-on thumbrest. Has anyone tried these on their M&P? I wonder what the effect would be on recoil control:confused: Might be worth a try.

Bob, Would an add-on thumbrest be legal for IDPA? If not I won't waste my money;)

I've tried the add on thumb rest and did not like it when using the left hand felt akward.
but shooting right hand was nice.

and yes I do have tunnel vision
 
I'm more of a revolver guy and probally hold it a little funny and found it makes a difference which insert you have in the back.I've never had a concern about the slide trying to bite me.

I took the firing pin out yesterday and checked the channel, it seemed ok. Tonite, during a PPC competition (my 1st, during which I scored 1000+, I might add :D), I had "only" one failure to fire in 150 rounds. Again though, you can see that the primers aren't getting wacked as much as they should.

Oh, and I managed to crack a mag base as well. That makes 4 Walther P-99 bases in one session cracked, and one M&P mag base during this session. Ridiculous ::bangHead:

Good shooting:)

Too bad about the mag base. Were you on a hard floor?

I shoot ppc too luckly i have no cracked mags on the mp. if they allow you to have a bucket infront of you for brass and the extra ammo. once you get the hang of it, no time lost and the mags drop right in the bucket.

good score that in the duty gun match or the 1500 semi

My mp gets a little loose at 50m mark in the 1500 but love it for the duty
want to pick up seconds on the reloads pop that mag in a little harder and the slide should close without touching the relase (at least mine does)

You guys have the cpca nationals again this year guys said it was well done last year.

So others also experience the slide closing when slapping in a fresh round? I was wondering about that, coulda sworn it's not an issue on any of my other semis. But then again, before PPC I never slapped mags in either. I had been told yrs ago that it's not good for the mag.:confused:

Bloody amazing how my coddled, seemingly indestructable tactical-type handguns shine their flaws so quickly when I use them in more real-life scenarios. Cracked bases, slides closing by themselves...

And as far as the mag bases go, on my Walther it's definitely the slapping of the mags into the pistol which caused the breakages. Two outta four mags had never been dropped.

I'm thankful for the PPC course, as it opened my eyes to the difference in durability between a target shooting gun and a duty gun actually used in stress situations.
 
hmmmm I thought the "slapping" in of the mag causing the slide to close was a "design feature" as opposed to a design flaw....... I find it handy when doing tacticol shoots! Those mag changes are quicker that way for sure!

I dunno know about you guys but I cant seem to chamber a round and then drop the mag and then install a full mag..... A full mag will not "click in" unless the action is open on my M&P.

I usually start my tacticol shoots with the slide locked open with a full mag in my holster (its a roto holster). I draw the gun & close the slide and away I go..... I only load 9 rounds in all subsequent mags is all, so I don't run into trouble as stated above.

Is this normal or am I the only one??

In ppc duty your responsible to keep the gun loaded for the whole course of fire. I use a safariland holster and havent had a problem with having one in the pipe and putting a full mag in while it still sit on my hip.

I have a model 52-2 and slaping mag in that is the wrong thing to do, but if my duty gun can't take it won't be my duty gun for long and right now it takes well.
