Removing Beavertail
I've seen pictures and comments from people who have removed the beavertail on their M&Ps and I'm wondering, how difficult is it to do yourself, and what did you use to do it? I'm out of work on medical leave right now and strapped for cash, so I don't want to send my M&P9 out to have it done. I'm reasonably mechanically capable, I'm just a little nervous about how well the result will match the rest of the frame. Can anyone who has done this themselves post a picture of the "after" results and described how you did it? I appreciate it. Thank you.

He's only cutting off the beavertail, dude. :roll:
Because they don't offer the wonderful M&P without it at this time.
There's always something that you can tweak on a gun to make it perfect for you.

Ummmm... the same reason people put turbos, after market wheels, and suspension on their cars. Box stock merchandise doesn't always come the way you want it. They made the beaver tail solid all the way through SO you can remove it if you wish. Look at all the custom glocks with a beaver tail ADDED.

Pretty much. But then again, most of what I collect and shoot are C&Rs. As to the g-lock, that would not have been my recommendation at any point of this conversation.

I didn't say it didn't meet with my approval...I just find the beavertail unnecessary and not particularly attractive. I love the way the gun fits my hand, I love how easy it is to shoot, and it's much more suited to me than any Glock I ever had. I'm not a big fan of the light rail, either...to me, the M&P would be "S&W Perfection" if it had no beavertail and no rail. That said, even though I'm strapped for cash and have let a couple of other guns go to pay the bills, my M&P's will not be going anywhere.
I would still like to see some close ups of "home-done" removals, though...
