I love the S&W M&P series. My duty weapon is a 2.0 full size, but I own the 2.0 Compact and 2.0 Shield. I think they are great guns

I had a few original M&Ps back in the day. Should have just kept them. I also have a Shield Plus SC & Shield Plus 4" PC that is my EDC.

Any K98k collectors on here? I went down the rabbit hole a few years ago and was luckily able to pull myself out. K98k collecting is both extremely expensive and very difficult as the market is riddled with fakes. Finding a period correct, 100% matching and legitimate rifle is a painstaking process. I was lucky to find these two, which I'll never shoot and will likely keep for as long as I can. Even 80 years later, the quality of German craftsmanship is evident all over these rifles.
Top: 1942 byf 42 hh block with a rare walnut stock. Most of these were lost to the Eastern Front, so finding one is a tough ask, even more so in walnut (production had mostly switched to laminate due to cost and durability). Bottom: 1940 42 code dd block with a red glue laminate stock. This is a duffle cut GI bring back. In order to fit their rifles in their duffle bags, a cut was made on the handguard. This one has been professionally repaired luckily.

Mine ran great w/the Faxon too. I need to be a better shot with this thing. I almost blamed the barrel till I put my can on it & the bullets magically went where I wanted LOL

I have a TP9sfx, it's a tack driver. Fit and finish is great. Polished feed ramp from the factory. Mine has been very reliable but I've heard of ppl with issues so YMMV.

I've owned many. No issues other than they wouldn't run reliably in stock form with a can

So much for building a lighter AR....
My goal was to be under 6 lbs with optic (PA 5x micro prism w/PA mini reflex red dot). Without any accessories or optics (But with stock installed) it is 5.7 lbs PA advertises the 5x & 3x micro prisms as weighin 8 oz. No way in hell.... (Put the optic setup on the scale & 1 lb!) I may as well just go back to an LPVO smh...After I added the optic setup listed above, the Centurion hand stop & rail covers & VTAC 2 pt sling, the weight shot up to 7.1 lbs!!!! After I added the Surefire SOCOM MINI2 can, we are at 7.9 lbs..... I know I can shave a few more ounces by going with the MFT stock, PSA BCG, lighter FH & a lighter buffer setup. However, I went with this FH because of the SOCOM MINI2 and the buffer setup because it will be suppressed full time. Full parts list below. Ruger stripped lower B5 Type 23 grip Geissele ambi safety Stag LPK V7 takedown pins, grip screw, ejection port cover & rod & end plate & castle nut Centurion 14.5" lightweight hammer forged barrel Magpul enhanced trigger guard Toolcraft BCG Warhammer CH B5 Bravo stock Centurion rail covers & hand stop Odin works extended mag release CMMG Zeroed bolt catch Larue MBT-2S trigger 2A Armament upper receiver 2A builder series buffer tube Midwest micro gas block Centurion gas tube Strike FA Geissele Super 42 H2 buffer & spring Midwest 12.6" Ultralight handguard Surefire closed tine FH/suppressor adapter

Wonder if just the optic without the mount weighs 8oz? That's kind of shady to list it without the mount weight. |

Shot my buddy's Canik last year and it was surprisingly a great gun, the trigger was light and smooth.

Aesthetically, I agree. However, that would actually destroy their value (by at least 50%, maybe more) and effectively ruin the rifles from a collectors point of view. The Germans marked every piece of their rifles with Waffenamts (you can see them on mine if you look closely). Refinishing the stocks would likely remove those stamps. With regards to collecting German made K98k's, value increases due to 1. rarity 2. percentage of serial matching components that are also "original" and period correct. Mine are both 100% matching and correct down to the smallest screw, which will have it's own individual marking or serial number. If you're interested in learning more, this is the best resource out there for collecting: https://www.k98kforum.com/
Long story short, the Germans built their rifles with extreme precision and detail. You can see why they couldn't keep up production, especially compared to the U.S. that could make a Garand for a fraction of the cost and time.

Finished my night hunter project. No blood on it yet, but it's finally ready for action. 2 weeks left in my states legal night coyote hunting season too.

Now I have the itch for another optic & suppressor ready 9mm pistol after picking up a M&P 2.0 4" compact. Don't want any heavy pistols or DA/SA. No manual safety
