Ah, I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification Chuck S.
What should have been stated is "Your M&P pistol MAY be equipped with a magazine disconnect which prevents the pistol from firing when the magazine is removed from the pistol.
I do agree with your choice of an H&K USP. The H&K USP's and the Sig Sauer P220, P229 & P226 are the only two pistols manufacturers out of seven that passed the DHS (Defense of Homeland Security) stringent requirement. That requirement being, they lodge a bullet in the barrel, creating a squib load. Firing a live round behind it, clearing the barrel and able to continue placing accurate shots down range, without impregnation / bulging / or damage to the barrel or frame.

This might be the wrong forum to ask this question, but I'll ask anyway. I'm thinking of purchasing a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm as my first handgun. Any thoughts?
Something to keep in mind, once you remove your magazine the firearm is rendered useless!
Let's say your defending your life or the life of your family, you go to swap out to a full mag, leaving one round in the chamber just incase you need to pull the trigger on this BG. Once you remove your magazine, your striker will NOT fall. No Trigger function.
I would say, stay away from the M&P for self-defense use. Target practice is fine.

That rear sling mount is sort of a PITA to install. You have to drill out not just the plastic stock, but also the metal bracket inside that acts as a tensioner to the installation nut. It probably took me an hour and a half of trial and error with the drill to get the two ends to meet together in the middle and screw into each other.
When using a shotgun, I leave it slung, so I can drop it to my side if needed. When the shotgun is slung, the existing mounts at the rear prevent me from seating the stock into my shoulder pocket.
Thanks SD, I guess I'll just have to pass on the altering and try out the sling with the original mounting ports.
Do you have any comments on a Belt Bandolier instead of the regular shoulder bandolier?
-
Thanks for the pic SD. I didn't realize that you had to drill out the existing hole in the Grip to make this QD fit. I didn't want to have to alter the original Retaining Pin hole.
Question; What made you's decide NOT to use either the Sling Slot or Sling Ring Access port in the stock? Just curious.
-
Nice Pics SD. What brand is your bandolier? and if I remember correctly, didn't you have the VCAS padded sling with swivel mounts? At any rate, you save me some money in the long run (not purchasing the Sidearmor Saddel Mounts) I'll spend it on Kips rail.
Thanks again for the pics. Nice country out there!

Received mine yesterday; Installed and agree with the same irregularities in fit as TKTM, LeoAtrox, and Kronik. Not as perfect but will suffice for $50. Some areas are not as thick as the OEM, inside tongue. It holds together fine while handling but I won’t be able to shoot or send pics until next week to see how it holds under fire.

And here I thought they were Covert Foreign Enemy Cells corresponding with each other sending coded messages
, but what do I know.

Nice pics MurphySteuer! Hey, what rear QD are you sporting and where did you pick it up?
-
Padded VCAS from Blue Force Gear. QD swivels. Mesa Tactical rear sling mount for the collapsible stock and a GearSector rail mounted sling mount attached to either a Sidearmor top rail or the Surefire m80 railed forend.
No pics yet.
If you wouldn't mind SD, I sure would like to see that set up. I don't have any slings nor swivels on mine yet, but will be adding these in the near future. I've seen the m80. Pics of sling and swivels would be great! Thanks
-
I have two on the way! Now if Kip releases his parts, we'd all be happy!
-
Nice set up! What kind of muzzle brake is that?
Carlson's new Tactical Breacher Choke.

Great analogy Chuck!
Perfect example: Neighbor wakes up from a helicopter flying low at 1:18am with its spot light search yards, patrol cars flying up and down the street. The neighbor had a break in and didn’t hear the intrusion, but heard his dog barking and growling. So he gets up and heads to the sliding glass door wondering what the **** all that commotion is out there. Looks to his right and there’s the intruder
, climbed through his window. So he takes off running toward his bedroom and thinks; Sh*T! I can’t leave him in the house. So he turns around and runs toward the burglar and shoves, launching him back out the window breaking the window. He runs to the garage, runs over to his safe and tries to open his combination safe, calling the police with the other hand. Well, to make a long story short, the burglar got away, the police never caught him and the neighbor will NOT keep a loaded gun next to his bedside, keeps it in the safe. What’s more humorous is he asked another neighbor about a year ago if he could buy five 357 mag rounds from him. Neighbor asked him “Why don’t you just head down to the store and buy a box”. He said he only needs five to load his gun.
This could have been a tragic story for having an armed safe instead of an armed owner.
Seconds count guys!

Wonder how many tax dollars went into that study?

A society built on the principle of individual rights rejects the notion that the state should protect a citizen from himself. Government cannot and should not protect against one's own "unwise" decisions.
Freedom is impossible once a government assumes a role in regulating the people's eating, sleeping, drinking, smoking, and exercise habits. Once government believes it has an obligation to improve or protect the people physically it will then claim it can protect them economically and intellectually. It leads to a regimented society, hostile to individuals who cling to the notion that their lives and liberty are their own.
Abraham Lincoln pointed out the danger of a vague definition when he said:
“The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word, we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty means for each man to do as he pleases with himself and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the products of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things called by the same name liberty. It follows that each of the things is, by the perceptive parties, called by two different and incompatible names – liberty and tyranny."
The world today, just as in Lincoln's time, is still in need of a good definition for the word liberty. But more than that, we need determined people who believe in and are willing to defend liberty. Those who dare to use the word liberty when promoting violence and tyranny must be clearly exposed. The tyrants must be identified and never confused as friends of freedom. If a battle must occur – which inevitably it must since liberty and tyranny cannot coexist – let it never be supposed that two factions advocating liberty are battling one another. The conflict must be clearly between liberty and tyranny.

Spoke with Kip a few days ago. He is still waiting on the Safety Certification Sign-off letters for the Disconnect & Hammer. Kip believes he should see them in a couple of weeks or at least before end of February.
-
Now there you go LeoAtrox, nice link. I would say that works as long as your not using your Ghost Sights.
-
Which of these parts is going to be the easiest to replace?
I haven’t disassembled this yet, but by looking it over I would say the Hammer has ten parts to remove…
1. Trigger Guard Pin Spring
2. Breech Bolt Latch
3. Carrier Spring
4. Carrier Plunger
5. Carrier
6. Trigger Pin Bushing
7. Shell Release Lever8.
8. Shell Release Lever Spring
9. Hammer Spring Cap
10. Hammer Spring
On the Disconnect, you need to remove seven
1. Two Trigger Pins
2. Shell Release Lever Spring
3. Trigger
4. Trigger Spring
5. Disconnect Plunger
6. Disconnect Spring
7. Disconnector Pin
Personally, I would say the Disconnect.

You could use an AR-15 Carry Handle with a Single Rail Carry Handle Mount on top of the handle for your optics, which would raise your optics. Sights would be too high for me.

Your project should go pretty smooth Zerooption, and welcome aboard to the same ship. "Waiting on Parts" :-)

Saw this at the show, nice little shotgun and in my opinion better than the AOW's, I seen.
