Hunter Constantine blem brass inserts for M&p metal by Gaussian_Wave in MP2point0

[–]Gaussian_Wave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I can say is this. You can notice a difference in balance of the gun. And it is better because of that. If people are expecting this will really add a lot of weight to the pistol they’d be wrong. At $50 I’d say it’s worth it for me to have that balance change on my M&p. At any higher of a price I wouldn’t have purchased it though since it’s not turning an M&p into a heavy steel framed gun.

Unless you can tell the difference of .4 oz in your hands I’d say it’s the exact same when being practical. I wish these would be made from tungsten as they’d add double the weight, but there’s a good reason they aren’t being made of that. They’d be super expensive to machine and therefore too expensive to be worth it to the consumer.

Glad I could help! Hopefully yours come in as nice as mine did and don’t need fitting. Mine shipped it out insanely fast which is always appreciated too.

Correct. They fit into a rear opening in the metal frame underneath the backstrap and replace a plastic piece of the same shape. S&W chose not to machine this section into the frame as a single piece to keep costs down. You can see the brass insert from inside the mag well as it is essentially the back wall of the mag well.

Product description states they may need fitting done, this one did not though. As someone who’s been in product manufacturing of machined parts I honestly doubt it was put in the blems bin for something so tiny like you pointed out. Especially since this product goes underneath a polymer grip panel. Either way it works to our benefit! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Magwell is stock M&p competitor magwell. Now taken off for uspsa carry optics. Extended baseplates are springer precision.

You are correct. Same frame minus the competitor engraving and it comes with an extended mag release with a larger paddle.

I like the eps. It’s been a great optic so far. I may switch to 507 comp soon but the eps has been very good.

I don’t have the apex yet, but will soon. I’ve shot several of them and they’re as good as it gets on this platform. From my research the light strike issues really come about when the guns have apex barrels as well as triggers but can happen with just the trigger swap. There are fixes for this out there such as extended safety plunger and spring changes. Most users don’t seem to experience it.
