Not your avarage M&P 9mm <PICS>

[IM_Lugger]

With M&P becoming the new Glock I had to add a personal touch to my gun I actually did this a month ago but didn't have a camera...

Never liked the beavertail so it's gone! Also added a little bling for the Equinox look.

What do you guys think?

and the other side;

 

[PeteL]

Looks awsome.

 

[3Gun Jim]

Looks great.
How did you shine up the slide?

 

[IM_Lugger]

I polished it with sandpaper

it actually looks better than pics show (2nd pics doesn't do it justice) it has more of a chrome look to it.

IMO now the gun looks better and it's a little smaller (sanse beavertail)

 

[pitdogboy]

yup!

 

[targettarget]

Thats bad ass. Me likes.

Removal of the beaver tail really adds something to it. How did you remove it without leaving tell tale scuffs?

 

[Disaster Monkey]

Nicely done. Looks good. I've got to agree, the beavertail doesn't do anything for me either. I'm seriously tempted to take it off of mine.

 

[saskgunowner101]

That's looking sharp! The little bit of contrast really draws my eye to it. Cool factor...check

 

[Dave&Dar]

Very nice.

 

[Paulinski]

Nice.

I have yet to try the M&P.

 

[IM_Lugger]

Thanks guys!

I've shot it after the beavertail mod and there was no difference in terms of handling! Maybe if I had huge meaty hands (or the gun was more powerful), but with my (medium) hands/grip it makes no difference.

how did you remove the beaver tail? details please

 

[Cerdan]

Yes, details please, specifically:

How did you remove it without leaving tell tale scuffs?

 

[Scott_N]

That's a very cool looking pistol.

 

[JohnC]

Really nice work on the outline . Have an M&P 45 so i'm not sure about removing the beavertail for me helps absorb recoil.

 

[Jeff/1911]

I think that looks a lot better without the B. Tail...and it's nice all shiny too!

I have a friend that is capable of fanatic metal polishing, it is a ridiculous chore but in the end you can make stainless look nicer than chrome. My buddy can make aluminum look nicer than chrome as well, the right grade is actually surprisingly robust too. He says stop signs are made out of an unusually high quality of stuff...

That is a sweet looking M&P, for sure. Unique +10 bonus!

*For those who wanted to know about the beavertail removel; I used a couple of files at first (wood and metal once), than gave a dramel a try, but what I should've done was just sawed it off - would've saved an hour than I moved on to emery cloths (150 & 400) than finished it off with sandpaper (600 & 1500).

Very nice. Maybe S&W will pick up on all the "chop the beavertail" threads and redesign it.
