M&P Grip Chop

Anyone chop their full size to accept compact mags, or know of a local place to the Indy area that does it? I've been rolling the idea around for awhile.

Why not just buy a compact then? You're going to spend almost half of what a good used 9c will cost chopping and ruining a perfectly good full sized gun. The extra 1/2" of sight radius isn't that big of a deal.

a good used 9/40c should be around $350-400.

I'll just keep an eye out. I haven't seen any 9c for 350, but I'll attempt to be patient!

that is a multiple sight search engine. You can usually find good deals through it.

also, see if you find someone willing to work out a trade or some other type of deal with you. The one thing I can assure is that if you modify the frame of your gun, it is yours for life. I have walked away from more than one "good" deal when I found out the frame was cut, chopped, stippled or sanded. You set the gun up for failure when you do that, there are a hell of a lot smarter people than me designing that frame at that thickness than me.

While I love my M&P and don't see myself getting rid of it, it's pretty impossible to argue with your logic here. Thanks for the advice.

I've been stippling guns for 12 years and have never seen an issue develop from the stippling. I don't do chops, hump removal or any other cutting other than removing the finger grooves and have had zero problems.
