did some remodeling

[RWF]

I had 2 of my M & P's mag-a-ported the Pro got 6 ports and the full size was quad ported. they did pro for free because they got one of the ports off or out of line from the others

Very cool! I have a few M&Ps I was thinking about having worked on in a similar fashion. Have you shot them yet? What are your impressions?

How long was the turnaround?

They look good but I've mixed feelings about porting slides and barrels on semi auto pistols. Some love it, some don't but the cool factor always generates interest. I look forward to a subsequent post on how things progress in your field testing.

They look great....congratulations. :up:

i am very happy with the way pro shoots, i was worried about the small ports, it has a 13# spring. the full size with quad ports still working on the best spring set up for it. it running a 15# spring right now but needs a 13# spring for gamer loads. its not as soft as thinking it would be, but still nice.

 

i will be doing more work on the full size and 1 or both will have a red dot.

 

some people my think that the porting is blinding but to me its no issue. many, many moons ago my first plastic gun was a G21C and at night the factory ports would have a flame that would be V shaped with tips rolling inward to make a heart like shape.

Looks good but free don't make it right. I get very particular about my guns and even things that I, or anyone else, can't see bother me if I know it is there. And if I hire someone to do something it better be exactly what was promised. A misplaced port would infuriate me and would garner a new barrel at a minimum.

I have seen a lot of screw ups by shops and the vast majority do exactly what they did here, not charge. But what exactly are they giving you for nothing. A screwed up gun that was t screwed up when they started.

Nothing against you but I would never accept something that someone else screwed up.

I do agree with u. and after seeing there little "bit" I was very disappointed. and yes I asked them to go against there policy on # of ports, it should been done right. but since I got them back I have been battling the FSS I put in the full size. I just got it running 100% but not happy with the pretravel and the trigger pull weight. I think I like it the it was better before the FSS. the 4# trigger seems very heavy to me. I think u understand why.

and will give them a call tomorrow.

just need to unwind some for the rest of the day.

 

I hope this does not sound rude, its not meant too.

just talked to APEX a few minutes ago. if we understood each other, I can not adjust the trigger bar for pre travel, the pivot point on FSS trigger fix the pre travel and must use the heavy sear spring, but may be able the light trigger return spring. just a note, I am super picky on my triggers.

 

on a different note I also tried the large palm swell and a 13# recoil spring and its running and happy with recoil.

will be sending the Pro slide and KKM back and they are replacing the KKM barrel and reporting the new barrel.

i finally found my trigger pull gage, the FSS on the full size was at 4.5# got it to 2# and kept the pre travel. she is running great. all our other M & P Burwell trigger jobs.

I very much like the horizontal porting job.

 

I do hope as you get these running to your satisfaction that you will give some comments on that version.

will do, now that I have the trigger the way I want it. also I do not notice the ports in day light. it seems to shoot fine with the 13# spring and factory loads, but the 147 gamer loads are just clearing the spent brass by inches. need to order just a standard guide rod with a 13# spring
