OK M&P Fanboys. Here's Your Challenge.

[Indy_Guy_77]

Can't commit to the 19th right now - but probably so. Will need to work it out with my roommate.

 

[Aaron1776]

Is anyone willing to bring a camera and video tape this?

Que was going to, but he'll be in meetings on the 19th.

 

[Aaron1776]

So here are the tests I want to put the M&P through side by side with the XD:

Dry fire to aquaint myself with the trigger.
Type 1, 2, and 3 malfunction clearance.
One handed manipulations.
Shooting in odd positions.
Retention shooting.
Shooting both good brass and tul-steel ammo to make sure it feeds anything you put in it.
Shooting with my TLR-1 light mounted on it.

All tests will be done at defensive-shooting ranges. 3-10 yards. (The purpose of the gun is defensive after all)

Anything else you can add?

Blue Boxer added:
5 shot strings
Target transition shooting.

 

[Aaron1776]

I will see if I can get off early to meet around 4pm. Though I will need to leave around 5-6pm.
Count me in.

Great!

I would esp. like to see the thumb safety.
Never actually seen one on a polymer before.

Just checking to make sure we're still on. I sent you a pm to see if you wanted to shoot out at my place/have more time to test, but didn't get a response.

I can be there at 4, and it looks like our previous engagement has fallen through, so I should be able to stay later if needed. Not too late though, we've got an Appleseed event Sat. morning.

I forgot I also have an M&P22 pistol (used to be a great cheap trainer until ammo went through the roof lol). Same size as a full size 9 or 40 (obvious weight diff. when loaded) but it also has a thumb safety (same style as a full size 9 or 40) you are welcome to try.

We don't have a whizbang camera, but I can record video if you don't have anyone else lined up.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I'm probably not going to be able to make it... So sorry to disappoint.

The following week, I probably could, however, should things fall through for the 19th.

 

[chezuki]

I'll still be there!!

Not sure what happened to the OP.

We are still on! Please bring camera and your 22!

Crap, I can't make it Friday.

Sorry about not responding quickly.

Between dealing with female junk , working in the ER till mindnight, selling a couple of guns, etc I got distracted.

I'll be there. Two polymer guns will go in. Only one will emerge as my edc/ HD pistol.

 

[Aaron1776]

To all planning on attending:

Blueboxer and I will be waiting for you when you arrive at MCFG.

We are both young (twenties) white males with movie star good looks. I'll be wearing jeans, t-shirt, and OCing the XD .45 on my him. Blueboxer will have his SIG 1911 (brand new, really nice gun)

We'll be the ones you mistake for action heros. lol

All kidding aside, we will try to arrive early and grab one of the pistol bays on the right side of parking lot.

PM me if you need a way to get in and are not a member. Guest fees are 10$ for the whole day.

 

[Que]

So, what exactly is early? What time does this party start?

We're shooting @ 4. Are you coming Que? I'd love to try out an M&P in .40. I'm seriously considering building a limited gun out of a long slide one.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

I'll be the really skinny dude with a buttload of m&p's (though I cannot carry them all on my person like Rhino). I may bring a guest, not sure yet if he can make it. He's an xdm owner

 

[chezuki]

I'll be the one that looks like a fat guy with a beard.

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

I would love to make it but I have to be at work at 5p. If you guys get together again I have the M&P 45 with the APEX aluminum trigger and DCAEK.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

I would really like to try out their aluminum trigger! Next time...

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

It is very nice.

 

[jayhawk]

This sounds like an awesome meetup! I'd love to try that aluminum AEK trigger as well.

 

[Eric05]

I want in on this party! I have a M&P9 EXO I can provide for its stunning beauty. I was planning on shooting tonight but the weather does not look good. I would be interested in try out some of the other M&P upgrades everyone has. Looking to upgrade my M&P, it owuld be nice to try some before I buy.
