I have a M&P 40 and like it. Really wanted a 9mm that I could shoot as I tried the Glocks and just could not make them run like my 1911s. So. I have been reading the fourm and noticed some of Dan Burwell's work. I thought this might just be the answer to those damn IDPA stock class guys.
Bought the 9mm and ran 250 rounds threw it with no problems other than the trigger was not what I was looking for and my finger slid across the front of the trigger, especially in rapid fire. The next day the gun was in the mail. Dan received the package on a Tuesday and on Friday morning, 1:00am, sent me these pictures and sent the gun back to me. Received it on Monday and thought I was going to have sex with it. That night I put another 300 plus rounds thru it and knew we would get along just fine. The next night I rang it out on some IDPA stages and it preformed mighty fine.
This is a great firearm and Dan Burwell is a greater Pistol Smith. Every one of you should send this man your gun.
Great trigger, excellent workmanship, texturing is wonderful. This is not in any way a 1911 but may be the closet anyone has ever come.
Work done was, Shark Skin texture front and back strap, Trigger job, Mag saftey disconect, Media Blast, Melt treatment and install of a Speed Shooters fiber optic. A close look at the pics will show to other features that we added. I wanted the trigger itself textured so it would prevent my finger from sliding off. It works and I will have all the M&Ps done this way. In addtion Dan wanted to try Stippiling the frame where the support thumb and trigger finger rest. This is way cool. Note only dose it work it looks great.
Dan thanks for all the work and attention. You are a master at your craft. The turn around time and cost for this kind of work in just remarkable.
Now for the pics and remember !
