A thought occurred to me tonight... I'm wondering if I can essentially have all three sizes of M&P45 by buying two guns....
I've looked around a bit on the S&W website and it appears as though the M&P45 4.5" is identical to the M&P45 4", aside from barrel/slide length... is that right? Same frame, just slightly longer upper?
So... if I bought an M&P45 4.5" (full size) and an M&P45C (compact), could I run the slide/barrel from the 45C on the full size frame and thereby make my own M&P45 4" (midsize)?
Basically, then, buying 2 guns would give me all three M&P45 models, right?
Lastly... what's the consensus on thumb safety? I wouldn't mind having one, but I'd be happy without one as well, and I have read of a number of people taking them off. Do most seem to prefer without?
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
