    Are mag disconnects primarily for CA residents? I'm looking at buying an M&P40 and while browsing online the model I had originally looked at was $520 but then I found a model without the mag disconnect for only $440. Is there any real reason to consider paying extra for the mag disconnect...

    S&W M&P Sights

    Are the sights on M&Ps adjustable? Specifically the M&P9/M&P40 full size if it matters. Has anyone altered their sights or changed them out if they arent adjustable?
