Possibly A "NEW" S&W 45 M&P model ?

[variablebinary]

Here it is- its called the Spec-Ops model. Don't know if they make it anymore and the sights don't look taller than standard ones.



Here's the link.

Sadly, it doesn't come in FDE, .45 with a manual safety. argh!

I made a thread about a full sized slide on a compact frame a while back.

NO REPLIES = a retarded idea. I lurked for weeks afterwards.

Crossgun... great stuff. It's great that the M&P45 frames and slides can be mixed and matched.

I was thinking about buying a FS and a C to be able to have any of the THREE sizes as desired. But there's a fourth option as well... which is what you've done. Buy TWO, get TWO free... sort of.

Jesus, that looks comfortable.

I actually like that idea. Doing it in 9x19mm would be sweet.

Except you can't. :/

I really wish S&W would make a "tactical" model with a threaded barrel and tall sights

You can get a threaded barrel for a standrad M&P from Storm Lake. No idea on supressor height sights though.

I tried to do this with a Beretta some years ago. Unfortunately, the 92 Compact's dust cover is too short, leaving part of the recoil spring assembly exposed I was really looking forward to a compact 92G Elite too

Ive been hearing you can order threaded barrels directly from S&W for $90 plus shipping. I also hear that it takes over a month and a half for them to ship it out.

S&W does make an M&P exactly like you're looking for. Its a partnership with Viking Tactics. Its called the VTAC M&P 45. Should be out very soon. They had it at the NRA Convention.

Edit: Correction - After checking with my S&W source its not a .45.

Having a few M&P45s I decided to get a little creative and put the full size slide on the compact frame, AWSOME! I am in love.

Life is good, what do you guys think?

My M&P 45 acp Family
Full Size Burwell Customized
Full Size FDE
M&P 45 "crossgun" model
M&P 45 Compact

I think life IS good and the swapping of slides and frames on M&P45's is a wonderful idea.

Has your M&P45 "crossgun" turned out to be reliable and worthy over time? I ask because I am considering getting a 45FS to do slide/frame swaps with my 45C.

Thanks.
