However the model's with the factory magazine disconnect can be modified at our facility by our S&W armourer to remove this feature from any M&P that has it. It can be ordered through your local dealer and is only a nominal fee to have the modification done. It won't have the warning on the side of the pistol, but will perform exactly the same.

Removal of the mag disconnect by North Sylva or any other company or person other than S&W would make the gun illegal for IDPA competition. Guns manufactured and sold by S&W that don't have the mag disconnect have a warning on the slide indicating the gun can fire without a magazine in the gun. The mag disconnect is considered a safety device by S&W and thus may not be removed by rule.

Thanks for the heads up Bob. While it is true, I don't recall IDPA being mentioned in Wendall's original post.
 
It's my understanding that IPSC allows it because although your modifying the safety, your emulating a gun that is allowed in production (The Julie Goloski edition)..so your not getting any advantage that the production Goloski doesn't have already. Any mod that comes from the factory is allowed.
 
The only major reservation that I have about the M&P is the fact that most of the M&P pistols available in Canada are equipped with a magazine disconnect.

I will not own another pistol with a magazine disconnect, and I will not be recommending any pistol with a magazine disconnect to anyone. And many contemporary trainers say that that the removal from a firearm of anything characterized by the manufacturer as a safety device is ill-advised and is like opening a Pandora's Box, so I cannot recommend that anyone remove a magazine disconnect from a pistol that has it.

Otherwise, the M&P - without a magazine disconnect, without an internal lock, and with the marking "CAUTION: CAPABLE OF FIRING WITH MAGAZINE REMOVED" - is a viable pistol that I can recommend.
 
TF 3-09 Pistol

Jeremy called my house a couple weeks back about my tour pistol being in and I need to get a hold of him, I was in Suffield at the time. Unfortunately my phone and internet are down until Sunday evening when the repair guys are showing up. If he can send me a message back through this forum it would be great. Also a couple of guys are wondering if there are anymore of the tour pistols available since they didn't order them last year.
 
All the M&P45c would need is a 106mm barrel. It'd sell like hotcakes (so long as it came with the little gold writing on the slide, of course).

Just wonder if NS has ever imported any M&P compact model with legal barrel?

It's definitely something that we've considered. We're currently in talks with S&W about bringing the compact to Canada.

This is sometimes a tough sell to the manufacturers. As they are not always keen to the idea of changing their product line. Canada is such a small market that they may not consider it at all.

We are trying however, and as always CGNer's will be the first to now if we can make something happen.

thanks,
 
Hello and thank you for joining us.
A little question : do you carry berdan primers? I am looking for small ones to play with my "vintage" 9m/m Steyr brass.
Thanks.
 
PPQ in New Brunswick

Any idea if the PPQ is going to be available in Canada and know of any dealers in N.B. that I can contact??
