Looks like Bud has got the 201's in (Mag Safety) in lieu of the 301's (NO Mag Safety), but since it's easily defeatable, and may actually be a blessing for a newbie like me, I'm going to put in my order tomorrow.



Here's what's on my list, and I'd appreciate any suggestions for add-ons, as long as they're inexpensive and a good idea:

  S&W M&P9 9mm NO LOCK 17RD   $389.00 



  HKS GL940 MAG LOADER GLOCK 9&40   $7.73 



  BRK CLP-5 BREAK FREE CLP PINT W/SPRAY	$12.87 

 

 Sub-Total: $409.60

I'm not exactly sure what to use to physically clean it (the brush that comes with?). If there's a decent cleaning kit at Bud's, please let me know, and I'm still trying to figure out eye and ear protection, though if Bud has something really good, I'd like to hear on that as well.



I believe some folks advised on the Glock loader from HKS as the best fit for the M&P 9, is that correct?



Do you use the CLP solely for cleaning and then have to use oil on top of it for lubrication, or do you just clean with the CLP and then put an extra drop of the CLP in the 6 places the manual tells you to lubricate?



I don't want to make any mistakes, especially since I've got two friends who are going to be placing the same order with me, so PLEASE advise!!!!

Many Thanks as always to such a terrific group!

I'd say just pick up a cheap rod from local joes and get a jag for the 9mm. use some old tooth brushes and your all set. Silicon clothes are a good pickup too.

Take the plunge. I did and I dont regret it. M&P40 is great, but the M&P9 is a fine choice also.

If Bud's doesn't offer the 301 for the under $400 price then you can always order the assembly and change it over to a non mag safety version.



I have had a 301 on backorder for almost 2 weeks now and have been getting impatient waiting for it.
