Long story short: I had an M&P40 for a number of years, and had to sell it because I needed the money. I'm window-shopping to replace it with an M&P9 whenever my tax return comes in.
I found this one: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/69999 on Buds Guns online. I've heard some good things and some bad things about them, but I digress. Anywho, is this a factory threaded gun, or something that Buds threw together? If it's a factory threaded gun, when did S&W start selling them? |

Quoted:
It's a new factory offering that they've started offering in the last few months. Excellent deal compared to aftermarket threaded barrels. They changed the threading from the old factory threaded barrels as well. The old ones were in M13.5 X 1 LH. They came on a spec-ops engraved model if I remember right. They also sold them as a separate item if you called them. The factory barrel was under 100 bucks if I remember right. It didn't come with a thread protector. I think the kit they sell now just has the second barrel bundled in the box. Either way it is a good deal. |
