I got an M&P 40 Pro from Bobby a couple months ago. I decided to try other divisions and needed a pistol I could make major with and not break the bank in the process. After thinking about it for about 10 seconds I decided that since I couldn't afford one of those outstanding customs from Bobby that I would at least have it look like one. I asked Bobby to make some slide cuts (and make it look cool). This is what he came up with. After it gets refinished and sent back to me I will marry it with all the work I have done to the grip, trigger and barrel. I will post pictures of the finished product.

Thanks Bobby!!!!

Looks good, I like it. What load are you going to be shooting in it?

SWEET!

My question is when are you actually gonna shoot the D*** thing? You've been talking about it for a year now!

I honestly don't know just yet. I will have to get it back and start working on one. I think loads should be made to order for the pistol and for the shooter. I can't come up with a load until I know how it is going to shoot.

Since I have only had the D*** thing since May it hasn't been a year. But to answer your question, I will start working with it as soon as I get it back from Bobby. I probably won't use it in competition until next season.

I think it looks cool with the new cuts raw also. The slide is stainless so why not leave it as is??? It would be 1 of a kind!!!

I totally agree. Leave it the way it is now. Gives it a little bling without being obnoxious.

I wanna shoot it!

You got it.

Dan - FYI, my load is: 180gr MG hollow-point over 5 grains of VV320. It has chronographed at 172-175 at various area/sectional matches. 175 was this weekend at Indiana.

Guess what I got in the mail today? I still have some trigger work that needs to be done but it looks great!

Awesome work Bobby as always, Enjoy it Dan...

Dan--Looks sharp!


You going to go APEX or DIY trigger job? Like to shoot it also. I have couple 200fn JFP you could try also. They are loaded with Ramshot Competition which is pretty close to V320 , but the powder is a lot cheaper.

I have an Apex sear in it now but even that needs a little work. All other parts are DIY. I will work on a load over my off season so I would love to try yours as well.

That turned out great! Looks even better now that it's refinished.

When can I shoot it?

[dcarter]

After talking with Shaun Hopkins I have finished the trigger work and it is everything I wanted.

All I need now is some bullets.

[want2race]

Whoo HOOOO!

I'm trying green bullets right now. "Gator Snots". JHP Zero's weren't available so I needed something else. Cheaper and still no smoke.

[dcarter]

I like MG's and like to stick with what I know. Besides, gold bullets look cool.

When I tried out the Gator Snots, I had a RO ask me if there was something wrong with my powder. He told me that he had smelled better burning tires and that I was going to get cancer if I shot them anymore.
