Customized M&Ps

Norm0931 · Feb 6, 2015

I've been thinking about chopping the beavertail off my M&P 9 for a while. I really like the clean look of the shield and the tail on my fullsize digs in to my fat.

So tonight I got ambitious with the dremel and sliced it off. I need to grab some fine sandpaper tomorrow and probably wet sand it down to finish it off and grab a polishing bit for the dremel, but overall I think I didn't do too bad of a job. Sorry in advance for the photo quality, not the greatest cameraman.

For comparison, here is a normal M&P.

You've basically replicated a compact M&P by removing the beavertail.

The beavertail does help with recoil and sight alignment when the rate of fire increases.

Looks good though.

You're a brave man, cutting on the receiver. Looks good though!

I like it too, but I don't think I have the nerve to try it on mine.

I would prefer to go the other way, like adding a beavertail to the shield. Cutting one off, is alot easier than adding one though. Nice job!

It dose look good. And still has about as much undercut as a Glock.

I hate beavertails. And have never been bitten buy a slide. Maybe it's just my hand size. But I get away with it.
And I don't have thin hands. Anyways a gen 3 Glock fits me like a glove.

Looks pretty good. Who installed those HD sights, and what did they run ya if you don't mind my asking?

Norm0931 · Feb 9, 2015

I installed the HDs myself. I have a tool. They were on sale at like $160 ish I think. It's been a while. Well worth the price though. Love these sights.

How do you like the delta?
Nice looking rig btw

It great
A thousand rds and no problems. Still waiting on the new Pro model as the delta point 2 never went in production . A year ago.

A guy at the club had a M&P 9 pro CORE he added stippling to it.
He did it with a solder iron and it really looked good. He said he
practiced on a garbage can lid. He had every conceivable mod to it.
Night sights, Leupold delta, Apex flat trigger and sear kit, surefire
laser/light. The ultimate 9mm IMHO.
