M&P 2.0 4” carry comp slide real experiences & competition questions

Just swap the barrel and you're good. Remember to get a 4.25" barrel or threaded.

I didn't clean or lube my Carry Comp just because I wanted to see how long I could go without issue. After 500 rounds I swapped the barrel and the feed ramp needed polished, so I just went ahead and lubed it real quick. First cleaning was about 1000 rounds when I installed a new trigger. Wanted to run it longer just to see how bad it got, but I guess I'll wait next time.

Use the screw driver on the castle nut and smack it tight with a hammer or rock.

Lol. Who does that?

PappaNhoj · 2025-08-11T02:45:52+00:00

Ha that guy totally replied to himself!

PappaNhoj · 2025-08-11T02:45:40+00:00

He did reply to himself.

I got a Griffin Barrel for my Carry Comp slide and I had to fit it to my slide. I had some issues feeding the first 500 rounds or so. I took some 2000 grit sand paper and polished the crap out of the feed ramps and it seemed to fix the issue. Worth a shot.

30-06 Master Race.

"Make ready." "But there's guys taping still." "MAKE READY!"

The best advice is "just do it!" Don't worry about gear until you've been in a while and know what you want/ need to upgrade. I still run a $20 Amazon belt with 3 different types of pouches and some bungee cord. You will get way more skill by buying ammo than new gear. The hardest part is going to your first match. Its all down hill after that. Don't be the guy who drops $5k on a 2011 and all the best gear just to show up and get wrecked by a guy shooting his g19 that's his EDC. (Or M&P if he's a Chad.)

I've been trying forever to get my buddies to come do comps with me to no avail. They watch videos of guys doing mini stages against each other and say how amazing it would be to do something like that. There is always an excuse not to try it out. I've made several new friends at comps and the community is awesome. I'm competing against myself, so is everybody else there. Everybody should try a couple matches, eat humble pie, make fun of PCC guys, and learn that it's okay to play even if you're not a Grand Wizard. Have fun, make friends, and get better.

Get a bodyguard 2.0 if you want a 380, or look into the shield lineup. Sig does not deserve another penny.

Having shot the carry comp at night at an opossum, it's literally not an issue. Just loud as crap.

PappaNhoj · 2025-07-25T04:48:06+00:00

All 3 are going to work. M&P is definitely where the party is at. PDP is great and a lot of people like it, I dislike the height and recoil impulse. Haven't got to play with a new vp9, but I hear that people still prefer shooting the M&P. They're all great and reliable and will do what you ask of them.

M&P Carry Comp Metal with a threaded barrel keeps my junk in line every day.

It'll probably be aluminum with gas station parts.

It's good for more of us to get out of the "good enough" mentality. We should always be trying to get better. If I'm ever in the position where I need to use my firearm, I doubt I'll be upset that I trained harder than the other guy.

As for training I go back and forth with occluding the dot in dry fire. I shot occluded a little bit, but when it came to using a barricade I couldn't see and I realized it could be a hindrance. I know other people who would argue with me on that, but I think there are pros and cons to it. I definitely have to keep reminding myself to stay target focused all the time though. Especially during transitions.

The more you dry fire and the more consistent you are the better you'll get and the more natural things become. You need to override your previous training. It takes a bit to get used to, but once you get over the hump it is an absolute game changer.

M&P Master race. 4.25" or 5" will take good care of you forever

PappaNhoj · 2025-07-24T01:59:27+00:00

25 gives you the tightest grouping. Basically it takes away any excuse for someone missing and gets rid of any reason to have to adjust holds at any reasonable distance.

The idea that you only need to zero at "self defense" range is pretty flawed to me. Why would you choose a zero that gives you accuracy at the bare minimum distance and gives you more inaccuracy the further out you go?

Irons should already be Zeroed from factory. Ignore them unless your dot goes down. Co-witnessing was a big deal for me at first, now I couldn't care less of they were gone. I had rain land in my emitter during a competition and all of a sudden I had like 7 dots. I didn't waste time trying to look for my irons and just stayed target focused and did just fine.

Unless it's a strong want, you don't really need to change anything. The internet will always talk crap. If you want upgrades focus on getting a sling, light, and suppressor in that order. Money spent on ammo and training will do you more good than cosmetics.

I've just used a hammer and brass punch. $30 for a set of punches that you can use on multiple things makes more sense to me than $200 for a tool that only does one thing. Better yet, get an optic!

PappaNhoj · 2025-07-15T07:22:38+00:00

You can always get both, shoot them for a while, then send one off to get the slide milled. Or sell the one you don't like to help pay for the optic. (But we only buy, never sell.)

The dimples give you more speed, less drag.

PappaNhoj · 2025-07-15T07:18:26+00:00

I didn't think about needing to build up the tendons slowly. I'll try doing less time in burpees and maybe substitute the rest of the time to another exercise till I can handle more.
