any pics, or discussion, of the M&P .45 from the shot show??

Here you go. This one is black and doesn't have the ambi thumb safety. I felt really good in my hand, only a hair larger in the grip area than my 9mm. If you put the large palm swell on the 9mm you'll have the feel of the M&P 45 with the small grip insert.



The S&W rep said it will hit the street in March. We'll see about that. I'm going to get one.

I wish they hadn't added those front cocking serrations...really messes with the smooth lines and proportions of the weapon, not that, those really matter.

How about some technical details barrel lenght, extra weight etc. Thanks :?:

I agree. The only thing I have found front cocking serrations good for is to tear up holsters.

I wonder if the military specs call for front cocking serrations??

Now I just need to find out if who will make a threaded bbl for one. I am definatley in the market for a new .45 I have decided against the XD. So that leaved the M&P, HK45. Glock21SF and the FNP45 in the running. I'm not wild about HK but they can be bought with a factory threaded bbl. I have heard nothing but good things about the FNP45. The Glock 21SF is also a possibility but I want to feel all of them in my hand first. Ergonomically the M&P may win out. But I plan on running my .45 suppressed as well as not suppressed so the avaiability of threaded bbls is important.

Did S&W have the model with a manual saftey and flat dark earth colored frame on display as well ?

they had a black without a safety and the earth with the safety as this is how they will be released initially to the public

Yes. Somebody posted a few pics of that gun in the General Discussion area.

Roger on the pics in the General Discussion area found them. Thanks Ricky T.

Mag Safety?

I don't see the "can fire without mag" warning on that black .45 - anyone know if they're going to not bother with the mag disconnect on the .45? Does anyone really want the mag disconnect?

I know it's really a matter of individual taste, but to me, these guns are a lot better looking that the 5 inch 45 XDs, that look sort of blocky and tall. I already bought my 2007 gun, but this one is next if I can find one. If I was a Kydex holster maker, I'd be fighting for a copy or aluminum dummy, this one may set the market on fire.

Is the "14 round option" mentioned in the initial press release for the M&P 45 simply an extended magazine that protrudes from the grip ? I've not heard it mentioned since.

This picture I got off another site. 45 with thumb safety!
