[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Why no Slides for the M&P/2.0 series

Posted: 6/30/2022 3:30:52 PM EDT

I know the M&P after market is not even close to the realm of Glock or 320's, but why the hell aren't there any slides for the M&P series.
There are a few for the 1.0's, but damn it would be nice to find a 5" black slide for my 2.0 since I can't seem to find a buyer for the FDE 5" I have.

yep, I also have a five inch fde 9mm 2.0. I never liked the fde slide & would have traded it for a black version. I don`t know of a way to strip off the ceracoat without screwing the slide up. maybe someone here has an idea.
I know....
trade it for a dickfer, or a henway or the gun from heat...

Strip bead blast with the softest material that still cuts. Likely walnut shells and cerekote.

Or just cerekote over.

Btw I believe ed brown offers factory 2.0 slides

Floyds custom shop. For m&p stuff. They’ll sell you take off slides too in the secret stash section on their site.

This used to be an FDE 5” slide, not black but I had it recerakoted (and might notice some other things)

Good work and faster and cheaper than you would expect.

Cool. But $340 is high considering I just need the slide, but I may break down and get one.
Don't want any customization though.

i bought my m&p with regular sights i wish i had opted for the slide cut and suppressor height sights. hopefully either smith or the aftermarket will offer an affordable cut slide soon.

Faxon makes a slide for the M1.0 which can be used on a M2.0 frame if you also install an M1.0 slide lock. Ditto that with the M1.0 PC CORE kits that still pop up for sale from time to time. Ed Brown makes an M2.0 slide which is essentially just a slightly tweaked Faxon slide. You can also buy OEM slides off the Ed Brown sights or you can find used slides on eBay or Everygunpart.com and have them customized.

Yea, I've looked at ebay gunbroker, but most are 4.25" or 4.25" complete slides. 5" slides are hard to come by and all are expensive IMO. But I guess I'm just not down with the "new normal" of gun parts pricing.
I was keeping an eye out on a PC 5" 1.0 kit on gunbroker but lost interest when it got bid up to $350.
Not sure if I can use my 2.0 barrel in a 1.0 slide, so maybe a complete 5" 1.0 slide wouldn't be a bad idea.

I did remove the thumb safety and the stupid LCI. S&W shipping sucks ass though. I ordered a small backstrap and FDE frame plugs on 6/13 and they still haven't shipped it out.

I am looking for a milled slide for 1.0 and 2.0. Just a basic slide that I can mount a red dot. I do not need a $4-900 tricked out slide. Still looking for decent budget priced mag extensions and mag well for 1.0 and 2.0.

Bought a stripped black slide for my 3.6 bbl, 2.0 a few years ago from Numrich. Had it milled for an optic.

I realize this isn't a Black slide... but it is a FDE 5" .40 for a good price. And a 5" 9MM barrel will function if interchanged.

Stripped...
