For all you M&P fans out there,
Stopped by a gunshop in Scottsdale today where one of the sales guys showed me what he claimed was a factory M&P45 with a threaded barrel.
Verified at the S&W website that these are factory pistols in 9mm and 45. They are also making 9mm and .40 models with dark earth frames.
Now if they would just make an M&P 22 conversion kit...

They are going to make or are making these items?

I held the M&P45 in my hands, so they are making those.
The threaded 9mm and dark earth 9mm and .40 I saw on the M&P Kits link on the factory website.

We got those in stock in 9mm and 45ACP. It's a hell of a deal a standard full size M&P9 or M&P45 with both barrels, the combo package guns means that the barrel is about $15 higher than a normal M&P.

I'm hoping they make a threaded .40 model.
The sales rep at the store mentioned that it is difficult to suppress the .40SW. Something about unreliablility with the sub-sonic rounds.
I guess he meant suppressing sub-sonic rounds because I have shot thousands of rounds of .40SW 180 grain sub-sonic un-suppressed with no issues when it comes to weapon function.
Perhaps it has to do with the sub-sonic rounds cycling the slide reliably with a suppressor?
These actually come with TWO barrels. Both a regular...and a threaded one as well. Its quite a deal if you ask me. Looks like you can only get the package without a thumb safety for now.

Thats cool that they will be shipped with both barrels. Now if only they would send out some VTAC's.:D
Do you guys know if Storm Lake makes there barrels in black instead of stainless?
Smith and Wesson doesn't have a clue when it comes to this, and I'm tired of hearing about it.
They dicked this up the first time by not cutting the shoulder back far enough on the 13.5x1LH threads so most 9mm suppressors would not fit correctly.
The second time they deviated from the industry standard 13.5x1LH threads and went back 20 years in time to 1/2x28 threads.
Robb, does that imply that you can just order a factory barrel for a fullsize 45? Kinda need one.

I don't know if they're selling the threaded barrels separately. I'm out with the flu right now but I can give you a phone # at S&W if you want to see if they'll sell you a barrel.

Do you know if they make the M&P .45 Midsize with a factory threaded barrel?
That's the (only) M&P I've really been interested in.
Hope you get well soon, Robb.
Just called. It's 121.00 for the fullsize .45 threaded barrel.
Question though, anyone know what the standard threading is on the .45 barrels?

The factory S&W .45 barrels are .578"-28TPI.

Okay sounds good then, the S&W CS guy said 2x28. Which made think he was smoking crack.
Good to know. Just need a TiRant.
We have these in stock if anyone is interested. :D

I picked up one of the threaded barrel 45 kits last week. No pics with the threaded barrel yet though.
I like the M&P after 100 rounds. I find that I ride the slide stop & the trigger is a bit heavy. I need to work on form and Apex has the answer to the trigger from what I hear.

I don't think they offer them with TS.

Grant, that is a great price! I looked at one today locally in AZ for $639.00!!!
I will be calling you in a week or so. Now if someone would just make a taller sight to clear a suppressor.

Grant- I saw on your site that you have as an option for the FS 9mm a Raven holster- are those ready to go?
How long to modify a gun if I order some APEX options?

Yes, we have RC Phantom (MD CUT) holsters in stock with NO WAITING. :D
Takes us about 3-4 days to modify a gun and ship it out.
We are REALLY swamped at the moment (due to our mega sale that is going on).

Does anyone know if they make a factory 9L barrel with threads?

Nope, you'll have to go storm lake on that one. I should be getting my barrel back from being melonited this week.
Small update. So my barrel showed up from S&W yesterday. And oddly enough no threads. Maybe they're just hiding, nope, that's not it.
Even though they SAID they have 'em, they sent me a standard barrel. And that they don't sell the barrels alone as a policy. Whatever. So sending this back for a refund.
And snagged a storm lake for my .45. ARGHHHH
