Apparently Cabela's has a exclusive run of M&P 9s and 40 with natural SS finish slides.  Does anyone know if they have manual safeties or not?

Also check for magazine disconnect and safety lock too.
The M&P 9 I ordered from Budsgunshop.com had none of that crap, and was $525 delivered to my FFL.

You should check out Bud's, good people.

I checked around an a local shop sells the full size M&P for $539, but thanks anyway.

That is what mine is, 9mm, full size, SS unblackened slide, bought from Cabelas.  No manual thumb safety, no magazine disconnector safety.

Edit:  No lock safety either.

Thanks.  So, I take it that it looks like Heath's pistol on page 6 of the M&P pic thread?



I've never had a autoloading pistol without a manual safety before.  Yes, I know Glocks have been around for years and so forth but I must admit it kind of creeps me out.

Heath's picture:

The slide is an exact match to the one on my M&P aside from the rear site which on mine is the older streamlined sight you can't cock with a belt or such.  The takedown lever and slide release are black on mine.

Revolvers and many pistols, like my Sig 229DAK, have no manual safety.   I'm not sure why this would "creep" someone out though.

The best safety is the person holding the firearm

Ok, I stopped by for a look and it's pretty nice.  They're also on sale this month for $499.  (Can't be combined with the NRA discount though. I asked.
)



Good deal?

The first sales guy was wrong.  I went back today and asked a different sales guy if we could combine discounts and he said he didn't know. He entered it into the computer and sure enough the computer took it. So...



I couldn't get the light correct and Heath's picture is more accurate.  The slide is a pleasant light-gray color.
$449+Tax ($488 OTD)

Looks good. Get some NS for it and start packing it.

I just bought one last week, 9mm.  How's the trigger on yours?  Mine is very nice.

Congrats, I got mine at Cabela's too!

The squeeze to the release is actually very clean.  This came as a pleasant surprise since all of the M&Ps I examined had some creep.  There is however quite a bit of overtravel after the release, more than any other gun I've ever had, and I'm not sure what effect that will have.  Is that normal for an M&P?  Does yours have that?

Very little overtravel on this one. This has the best out of the box trigger of several M&Ps I've owned or shot.  They do get better after a couple hundred rounds.

Aw, crap.  I just found out that mine was made in April of 2009.  So I looked inside and sure enough it has the old style striker.

Oh well, off to buy some snap caps...

Stock M&P's tend to engage the sear very early in the trigger pull, meaning that there's quite a bit of trigger travel left after the sear has been released. A different sear or grinding on the existing sear can move the engagement point rearward, which also shortens the reset.

And the closest Cabelas to me is 4 states away.

If only one was closer. I really love the look of it, may have to send mine off to Burwell's to have some work done and get to look like that. Sharp looking gun.
