Current production S&W M&P's (Update)

[slappy]

As an example of one, my newest M&P 9 has a much more pronounced reset than my older 3 do. Not gritty at all and the accuracy is somewhat improved with myself likely still being the issue there.

Thank you Grant. I didn't know that was the case.

And mag availability has been the main reason I haven't gone to the M&P9 yet. Theres been Glock mags-O-plenty.

Grant,

Do you plan to test fire any of the new guns for accuracy to see how they compare to previous builds?

I am seriously interested at this price point but need more confidence that they fixed it this time....

Also, how does the trigger feel? Is the reset pronounced? Is it less gritty?

We might. I can pretty much tell with a feeler gauge though.

I did check a gun today with a slide to barrel fit of .002! That is awesome.

The triggers are little gritty, but with some simply polishing, you are good.

Trigger set is pretty good, but not as pronounced as a Glock (which is a good thing IMHO).

$430 base price WTF.

Grant, any word on the availability of Compact 9s?

[Heavy Metal]

My thoughts exactly. Looks like my HK fund might take a hit...

I just got rid of my 9fs... Seriously tempted to get another.

Do they come with the CORE grip inserts?

I had to go check mine that was probably manufactured in June and it has the H trigger bar. I'm not skilled enough to tear it down to check the sear, but the trigger is acceptable and smoothed out after 200 rounds.

Just checked my 9FS with a test fire date of 10.05.2012 and it has the H-marked trigger bar, bump on the right side slide catch, and a barrel to frame fit tolerance of 0.004". Barrel has two machined dots on the underside. Can't say anything about the sear on this one, as it has the Apex sear and I don't seem to have the original sear.

My 9c has with a test fire date of 12.11.2012 has each of those same items, including the Performance Center sear. Barrel to frame tolerance is tighter than 0.004", but I can't find my thinner feeler gauges at the moment.
