M&P Two Tone - Nice

[Newton]

Just $35 plus shipping, I really like the look of this M&P 2 tone, what do you guys think. Maybe a mistake to remove the black corrosion proof finish?

I like it - makes it unique.... +1

Maybe a mistake to remove the black corrosion proof finish?

The M&P's slides are stainless and have a Melonite (Tennifer'like) treatment on them over which the black coating is applied. Removing just the black coating won't seriously hamper the corrosion resistance of the melonited stainless steel.

I like the look. That guy's webpage hurts my eyes, though!

Here's mine. Had it blasted at a local pawn/gun shop, bobbed the beavertail myself, and installed a 10-8 rear sight.

What's the advantage to having the beavertail bobbed, is it just for cosmetics?

 

[Brasso]

It will allow a slightly higher grip. I prefer the beaver tail long as it helps to stabilize the gun in my hand.

Interesting, I'm not sure which way I would jump in respect to changing (or leaving) the beavertail.

I'm glad you like it, but I vastly prefer a black slide, to cut down on stray light and such in my sight plane.

Now a colored frame - that would be swoopy.

Bulldog,

Hmm. I like the abreviated beavertail. Was it hollow inside? (Did it require filling?)

Thanks.

Nope, it's solid.
