Seriously considering sending in my M&P9C to have Ben work his magic. Has anyone here done this with an M&P compact? Would you mind sharing pictures?
Thanks all!
Just get it done, you wont be disappointed.
Check out pictures of the full size boresight M&P’s for inspiration, its essentially the same thing only with a slightly smaller grip. 
I would recommend Bens full package, particularly the smoothing and contouring he does under the triggerguard. That procedure alone is PRICELESS on the M&P since the factory design in that area is probably the biggest shortcoming of the pistol platform in both full size and compact variants.
Magsz,
Do you know what Gentleben’s current turn around time is? I know he was backlogged a few months ago.
Just email him, he’s always gotten back to me and my buddies very quickly.
Ben will probably always be backlogged.
The attention to detail that he puts into his work commands time and lots of it.
Ben is a very approachable guy, go ahead and email him if you have specific questions, he will make sure you’re taken care of.
I was recently quoted 10-12 weeks. YMMV
Decodeddiesel, I’ve done quite a few M&P compacts. I’ll look around and see if I have any pics of one.
Magzs, thanks for the kind words. ETA: the undercut and polish beneath the trigger guard is standard on every M&P job, same as with Glocks. Both guns benefit greatly from it.
On a side note: today I got in a Glock for some upgrades that I’d done a reduction on about 1.5 years ago, and I was embarrassed to see what my work looked like back then. I’ve learned a lot since then via trial and sometimes error, and also via suggestions I get back from people who are using my guns.
Awesome dude! I look forward to seeing them!
So far I haven’t located any MP-C pics. However, I will contact a couple of guys with MP-C’s I recently customized and see if they can send me some pics.
In the meantime, this should give you an idea of what your M&P could look like when I’m done having my way with it…
Rofl…
Dude, make sure you clean that thing really well before sending it back to the owner…
Thats some pretty damned spiffy work, duracoat or magic faerie pixie dust that self affixes to metal?
Now there’s a gun my wife would want to shoot!
Your new carry piece looks…er…lovely, Ben. And you call me a homeaux.
That’s Costa’s gun, right?
That gun was part of a set I did for a husband and wife for their anniversary.
Their best friend, who’s one of my customers, contacted me from overseas to commission the gift. He left everything up to me, including the choice of the guns (purchased new from me), modifications, etc; his only stipulations were to make hers as “girlie” as possible, and keep the price under $X,XXX.
They both have my standard M&P grip package, textured trigger guard, CT lasergrips textured to match the grip, Trijicon night sights with contrasting colors, and trigger jobs.
Here’s the his/hers pair, and his alone.
no, it’s yours. I’m doing your rail panels pink as well. :eek:
I’ll admit I was tempted to keep it. But I can do another one for myself, probably in fuschia.
I thought you were using that M&P to prop the workshop door open? My bad.
now that your Glock is done and back in your hands, I needed a new doorstop. Sometimes I use it as a hammer too.
BTW, when are you shipping out again, wanker?
Since you’re in such a picture posting mood, do you have some pics you can post up of FDE M&Ps you have worked on?
Normally I could care less about looks, but I am interested in what the discoloration you get from the stippling looks like with that plastic. I have an M&P45 that I am also thinking of sending in.
Already gone. My wife and I are still waiting for that quote for the 21SF. If you could find time to do that between jobs, rather than reading about how great you are on the interweb, I’d really appreciate it.
