.44 mag is a rimmed cartridge and I don't know of any modern .44 semiauto weapons, only revolvers. Have you seen semiauto .44s?

Desert Eagle.

Thanks for the insights.

So, tell me why you would remove the external safety? I have always liked having one. Also, it seems to me that intentionally altering a safety feature of a firearm could expose you to exponentially greater legal liability and even denial of coverage by your homeowner's insurance company in the event of an incident?

It is incorrectly placed. It's better than what SIG did for the P220 SAO, but it still feels wrong.

No, because you must be able to articulate what you did and why. The problem is that laymen in the "gun world" have misunderstood what goes on in court for a long time now. They perpetuate incorrect ideas because they do not understand how to defend against even the most ridiculous of courtroom arguments. If you can articulate why you did something, and then show how it does not affect the gun, then you will just have wasted a few "lawyer hours" and nullified that avenue of attack.

S&W made the gun to be used with the thumb safety as an option. Removing it does not make the design "less safe". Conversely, adding the thumb safety does not make the gun "more safe". It's "safe" with and without the thumb safety; all it does is add an additional step to the firing process. An S&W engineer can testify if you need it (not sure on the details, but they can be called to respond). You can respond to such a claim in several ways. I'd probably respond with a fit issue since I find it's incorrectly placed for my hand and I cannot shoot it with my thumb on the safety. This then opens up the possibility of my thumb accidentally engaging the safety during the firing sequence, which is obviously "bad" in a fight. I already own several M&P M2.0 pistols without the manual thumb safety, so I can provide the court with an immediate example showing the gun without the thumb safety.

Its nice to have more options but I'll buy a 44 before I get a 10mm.

Funny you should say that....

Sick! But I'd still get a S&W 629.

For my money, the 10MM is the sidearm round that can knock down any adversary, be it a brown bear or an enemy in body armor. Currently, I believe it is the ultimate sidearm round as long as the shooter is big and strong enough to handle the weapon.

i scoured this thread solely to find the invetible bear reference. THANK YOU!

I just noticed a bunch of Deagles were removed today as well. I wonder what is actually going on?

Yeah, whenever I see someone write something about bears in a discussion about handguns, I know they don't have much to offer in terms of experience or knowledge.

I so wish that i didn't sell my 629 years ago.

 

[mtndewking]

Well, Turners has my money now. Let's see when it actually shows up. Flyer says late March

 

[GoldensRule]

NO.
Do NOT listen to an audiobook while reloading.
Nor a podcast or even have a TV on in the background.
Reloading absolutely needs your full attention.
If you can't handle that, then reloading is not for you.

Thanks for your input.

 

[ed20h]

Would the magazine disconnect removal process be the same I wonder

Yes

 

[Gromann]

And now mine's on order at a LGS.

 

[MrWilly]

Well fuuuuu......
My wallet is whimpering and hiding in the corner like a scalded dog

Looks like I'm selling the G20 to fund this

Not a good idea. The original M&P 10 had trouble, perhaps this will too. I always wait awhile until the bugs are removed. Perhaps it'll be fine, but don't sell a known gun for an unknown one.

 

[AR15barrels]

The original M&P 10 had trouble

When you say "original", do you mean the M&P before the 2.0 models that we now call the 1.0?
I don't even remember there being a 10mm M&P before the 2.0 came out.

Sorry, I meant the M2.0 10mm when it was released about two years ago. I hear S&W modified the springs and fixed the issue.

OK, so you are talking about the 2021 guns when the 10mm 2.0's first came out...

 

[Sheepdog1968]

Glad someone is keeping 10mm alive in CA

Now I hope someone will do that for .357 Sig

 

[luna323]

The target ammo pice is not too bad. For me it is the same price as 45ACP price which is cheaper than .357 or 38 super.
