S&W M&P 9 Shield

[Sam]

Who had the kit to perform that SSE on such a new gun?

And, that thing isn't going to make the roster in its current form. At a minimum - no magazine disconnect and no protruding LCI.

Word is that there will be a CA version.

pics or it never happened

Oh, it happened ok, I just don't have any pics with the long barrel attached.

So which shop did the SSE.

Island View guns in Ventura is doing SSE on these. Went in to buy one a few days ago, but they were sold out at the time.

According to my emails with S&W, it should be on the roster in mid-June.

Like my full size M&P, it has a Loaded chamber indicator and mag disconnect. Nothing that I would consider neutered, especially since one can easily remove the mag disconnect safety and the hole on the top of the barrel(LCI) is hardly even noticeable.

[Bull's_eye]

A viewing window type (hole in barrel) LCI does not meet the current CA roster standard for a LCI.

How would compliance with roster requirements make the Shield "neutered?"

[nocomply25]

I guess he means because the mag disconnect and anything else they need to change to make it comply with CA rules...it wont be in its natural form!

How would compliance with roster requirements make the Shield "neutered?"

Yes, mag disconnect and LCI.

Just talked to guys at ventura shop. They will not be doing any SSE of this gun and are waiting for the ca legal version. Anyone have a place that will do an SSE for this gun? You can send me a PM instead of posting! I really want to pick one up for the wife!!

Exactly. That's why I want to know what S&W is (supposedly) going to do? It would be an extraordinary cost to have to make a completely new slide. So, I would have to assume that they would use a modified extractor, which protrudes when the chamber has a round.
