Yes I know.

And no, sorry - you cannot. You'd have to get the model that has it disconnected from the factory.

Can u use it in standard then

If you re-install the mag disconnect, you can use it in production. Without it, you can use it for Standard.

Lets see where this goes http://ipsc.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=8863
My guess is not far

It is now a production legal mod since its available from the factory.

William since you shoot both IPSC and IDPA you should know you cannot disable the mag disconnect and use the gun in IDPA. I contacted S&W sometime ago and they advised me that NO M&P's were exported to Canada without the mag disconnect that did not have the warning on the slide.

FYI removing the mag disconnect, unlike the FN HI-Power, has no effect on the trigger pull.

I stand corrected!

Wjbn - sorry I gave you the wrong answer - you're set to go!

Why shoot a 40 in production anyways?

 

[Madness]

down loaded 40's give you a "soft" shooting gun and a just on the line hit with a 9 would catch the scoring line with a 40, that works for the good and the bad shots.

Tried down loading my wifes M&P 40 two years ago
It didnt like that
At 147 PF it started to have feed issues after the second or third mag


ps
Left it at just over 170 PF
Never tried any other weak loads

Minor Load

4.2 of WW WSF with 180gr Frontier. PF around 132 out of a M&P 40

 

[Canuck44]

Dragoon gave me this load for downloading the .40cal. 2.8 gr of Titegroup under 180 gr lead bullets gives me 130ish PF out of my Tanfoglio. Very soft shooting. You may need a lighter recoil spring in the S&W M&P if you have cycling problems.

I think springfield offers a reduced power recoil spring for 9mm.

But they are discussing a Smith and Wesson...

Is this in the rules? I can't seem to be able to access the website.

 

[RUPZUK]

Mine cycles just fine at about 135 PF for what its worth and it has a factory spring,
I'd have to look up the recipe though...

Interpretation confirmed by Mr. Pinto.
