First look, Storm Lake Fitted barrels for S&W M&P!

[C4IGrant]

As many of you know, we have been looking for a source for oversized barrels for the M&P to get better accuracy out of their 9mm's. We contacted Storm Lake (http://www.storm-lake.com/index) and asked them if they have ever made an oversized barrel. They informed us they had (for the S&W Shooting Team).

Fast forward, we received our first sampling of barrels (3 full size and 3 compact with 5" barrels coming). As of last night, we fitted one of these barrels to my personal FS M&P.

I will be testing these barrels in my Ransom rest later on and will report back what I find. Until then, here are some pics of the first fitted barrel.

How much fitting is required, and I assume this requires a qualified gunsmith?

Correct. These are not like the Barsto semi-fit barrels where you might have to take a hair off in order to get them to fit. We you had to cut width, length and chamber depth.

Once up and running we will offer installation on customers M&P's (only have to send the slide in).

I see they are running $200, is that going to include the gunsmithing, or will that be extra, and if so, how much?

I assume you will make this an option when purchasing a M&P from you as well?

Yes. You will have a pull down option for a pistol with a fitted barrel.

Very nice...add that along with the APEX and the polish job, looks like you can have one heck of a pistol.

I'm looking forward to seeing the results. And sending my slide in...

It's best to blame my misspelled words on autocorrect.
