I can't find one. Looking for anyone who has in stock an M&P .45 ..no safety NO MAG DISCONNECT .

 

There was a sweet deal on one in PA yesterday ( was gun shopping with Pizza Bob ) ..but it had that damn mag safety, Unacceptable.

 

Anyone have a bead on one?

 

My permits won't be in for 4 weeks or so , otherwise I would put a WTB post up. If I find nothing by then , I'll try that in the marketplace.

PK90 has a M&P 45. Not sure about the mag disconnect. Didn't see a safety on it. Can't the mag disconnect be removed?? BTW. great gun. Thought about getting this Friday but went with a PX4 (9mm) instead.

We weren't sure if it could be removed or not ..so I passed. There was another gentlemen who wanted it ..he saw it first , but he deferred to me ( chivalry is not dead) . So I was not going to leave anyone hanging

 

Will contact Paul , tks

Sandy, it can be removed. Check the M&P forums. The M&P45 is a soft shooter. I tried one at Shore Shot a while back.

It can be removed. We put one in a .40 so it can come out.

I plan on buying one with it so I don't have that ugly warning on the side of the slide. I'll remove it myself.

Point...

huh. should have bought it then and there lol

 

I saw one in the BH...super crowded though. Going back tomorrow.

The model without the mag safety has writing on it saying that the firearm can be fired without a magazine inserted. Written Legal disclaimers have no business on a firearm. As a previous poster wrote, buy the one with the mag disconnect, then remove it. You have a nice clean gun that functions correctly. If you ever choose to sell it (always a consideration for me ) then you can satisfy the buyer who wants a disconnect as well as the one who doesn't.

I've been trying to find an M&P 9 Pro w/ a 4" barrel and/or an M&P 9C as I have permits coming in soon (I hope). My town is usually pretty good at this, but with the recent events, who knows. I cannot seem to locate one, either.

funny... I like the idea of the Mag Disconnect Safety. Always thought it made good sense. I have one on my M&P 9. Good luck Sandy. Happy New Year. Roland

Keep in mind you are opening yourself to greater scrutiny and giving lawyers an easy way to exploit a self induced chink in your armor if you modify a safety feature on any gun, and it ends up used in a legal self defense shooting, or there is an accident involving said firearm. Ugly legalese on the slide or not, you are better off buying the gun in the condition you want it, unaltered, as delivered from the factory.

 

Now, I am not saying that the lawyer would be right calling you "a bloodthirsty gun owner with so little regard for safety that you purposely altered your gun to remove inherent safety features installed on the gun at the factory" or some such thing on the stand, but being lawyers, they will if the think it will net their client 1 more cent.

Mag Disconnect is an easy mod....

I had received an M&P9 with a mag disconnect by accident. But I gave a call to Speed Shooter Specialties.

Many use and cut a spring from a clicker style pen.

The M&P .45 that PK90 has listed on his website is the same one that I have (sku#109306). It does not have a thumb safety or a mag disconnect. That is the one you want if you'd rather not do the mod. Although there is another with a slightly shorter barrel with the same set up as well.

Actually , I would not really want to modify a new gun like that anyway. I don't mind shopping around for it. It isn't like I "need" it lol I have time.

 

I can definitely see the value of the mag disconnect for someone who is careless and complacent..

 

To explain for myself though ,I don't like the mag disconnect feature because I have seen more than one person..experienced shooters( and I have done it myself) , not seat their mag properly in the heat of competition or stressful training during a tactical reload. Quite embarrassing when your magazine clatters to the ground. IF it were a real life stressful self defense situation you may need that one bullet to buy you time to reseat your ammo and save your life.

 

I don't like any safety features you can't manually/quickly turn off in the heat of it all. I also feel safe enough that I will always drop my mag first, then rack when checking clear . That in combination with keeping the finger off the trigger unless aimed and ready to shoot and always keeping the muzzle in a safe direction IMO is something I have personal confidence in my abilty to execute. I know some careless people have chambered one , then dropped their mag , causing the " I did not know one was in the chamber " incident...I am definitely not one of those people and definitely want nothing that neuters any bullet I put in my chamber. In other words , if you follow all the rules all the time when checking clear , I feel that a mag disconnect offers no added safety and could only be a detriment if God forbid you need to fight for your life.

 

Just my opinion/personal take on it Roland You have a wonderful New Year too!

They had plenty of M&P 9s in PA. They also had a few in the BH today. Going back tomorrow a.m ( it was too crowded today) ..I'll ping you if I see what you are looking for as well
