Boy oh boy....it's like a whole new gun now!! The slide release is still very subtle, but big enough now to get a good grip on it with your thumb to drop the slide.
The night sights are very nice too. Basically they're the Novak three-dot low mounts, but with the center of the white dots drilled out to insert the Trijicon cylinders. There's a nice, thick, white "circle" surrounding the green inserts that provide a fantastic sight picture for daylight use.
I missed having the M&P around while it was away at its makers. In its place, I kept my XD45 within reach. Now that my M&P is back, the XD has been put back in storage. I think I'm actually gonna sell the two XDs that I have.
Anyway, I thought I'd give a quick two-thumbs-up to S&W customer service!!

Not sure if they will sell them to everyone yet or not. I did manage to order some yesterday, so if they give you a hard time let me know. I don't know how much they are yet the salesman on the phone yesterday said they didn't have a price in the computer so I have to wait till they get here.

What is the cost (the new release, shipping, handling, etc.)? I can live with the mag disconnect safety, but the slide stop (release) really is bad.

Thanks, I appreciate your info. There is a gun nut (glock meister) that is our UPS man who delivers at the bank I work at. I can entrust it to him then, I guess, once I figure out how to send it. I think I have to call S&W and get them to okay me sending it in.
Any idea on how long it will take to get it back?
buckeye49 said:doubXD: Thanks, I called S&W yesterday from work. They are going to send me what I need to send the gun in for warranty work. And, if I understood the girl correctly, they pay for shipping both ways and insurance and it doesn't cost me a dime. She said would take about 2 weeks, unless they get real buzy with police work. Soon as I get what I need from S&W I am shipping it in to be channged out. In the pic I saw (I think on this forum), it looks about the same as the original slide-stop. Is the new one much easier to operate? The girl said the replacement slide stop is much larger?
