    Anyone have experience with KKM barrels in a 2.0?
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    My only experience is with a 1.0 with a thumb safety that was stippled and grip chopped.

    The gun was devastatingly accurate.

    Come to think of it, I don't know why I don't carry that gun more.

    I had a few of these with a 5 inch CORE today, shooting PMC 115. Doesn’t happen with higher power factor ammo or other optics.

    I wonder if S&W optimizes the recoil spring weight on the 9mm M&Ps. Seems like they use the same recoil spring weight for 9 and 40 M&Ps which implies to me may be too heavy for 9mm if ok for 40. I went to a slightly lower recoil spring weight on my gamer M&P with no issues with my 125+ PF 9mm reloads with 115 FMJs.

    Ranger what weight recoil spring did you go to & where did you source it?

    Frank Proctor used to be a M&P fan but I think he has moved onto the Staccato train. He used to sell replacement M&P guide rods and springs on his web page. I "think" the springs were 13lbs. I have found that Glock replacement stainless steel guide rods and recoil springs often fit in the M&Ps (and because they are even more available the Glock rods/springs may be cheaper).

    Swampfox did a sale for $175 and I caved for a Liberty. What screws did you use? Not sure about what I have on hand...

    ETA: I think I found some with the M&P slide kit.

    I would say the first outing was a great success!
    My Sunday routine is to gather with a bunch of friends that have access to some private land where we can do pretty much what we want. We setup a bunch of steel and some cardboard and informally time each other through scenario sequences we just make up from our own suggestions, some logical, all fun.

    I had bore sighted the Swampfox and out of the gate set fast time of the group on the first string, and went on to have a great day. My one day assessment is if you find the dot it is smoking fast, and if not, not. One thing I wanted to do was to migrate to a pistol with a dot that was consistent with what I have been shooting weekly for the last two years, and I am glad I did.

    Here is a photo of the M&P-40 with the Apex Duty/Carry kit and plastic trigger, with the Performance Center 5" 9mm ported slide with the Swampfox Liberty, thanks to @ranger and others that helped in the decision:

    I just ordered three JMCK holsters with the optic cut.

    I am incorrigible...
