Well In my quest for the ultimate CCW pistol I have concluded that bigger bullets are better therefore making the 45acp round my first choice. I have always been a fan of the Colt CCO model which is Lightweight officers’ frame mated with a commander slide. Wilson makes something similar I believe called a CQB.
So with this in mind I got to thinking that if I could reproduce this in the 45M&P I might just have something. S&W does have a midsize but it’s a full size frame with a compact barrel? That I honestly don’t get seeing it’s always harder to conceal the frame than the slide plus look at all the advantages that the longer slide has. Having a few 45s I decided to get a little creative and put the full size slide on the compact frame, AWSOME! I am in love. Problem now is that I don’t want to ruin any of my other configurations so what to do?
Lucky for me a friend of mine had both a full size and compact and wanted a mid-size so he tore down his two pistols to make the middy. All he had as far as he was concerned where just extra parts. He never even gave the configuration laying in front of him a second thought. Asked him he was interested in selling me the leftovers and lucky for me it was a deal and here is what I believe to be one most awesome carry pistol. Yes it has been shot for reliability and rounds like a top. It’s even better than that as it came with a Bowie trigger job seeing both of his pistols had already had Bowie trigger jobs previously before the parts shuffle. Let me say its one really nice trigger and Mr. Bowie will be getting more of my pistols.
Here are a few pictures showing the new configuration which I believe would be very popular if S&W would consider it. Beast thing for them is that they have nothing to invent or do other than assign SKU # and get the UPC code.
As if I feel I didn’t get lucky enough, just the other day a found this Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 to go along with my new found pistol.
