sacairsoftsn00py Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Just an FYI, out of curiosity, I slipped my TM M&P 9 in a Blackhawk Serpa Holster for the H&K P30 and it locked into place nicely. However, the trigger guard retention needed to be depressed hard to get the pistol out. You'll need to push the pistol down some into the holster then depress the trigger guard retention (no resistance aside from the spring that keeps it in pla even) if you want to draw the M&P 9 out without issue. The P30 serpa holster does work beautifully with the TM HK45 save for the pistol muzzle sticking out by about .25" out of the holster.

curlyboy Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I have found the TM M&P fits in the Glock 17 serpa very well and you can adapt the P226 one as well but I am not certain how. Curlyboy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Confirm it fits amazingly well in glock 17 fobus light bearing holster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrsevenstars Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Has anyone taken it down far enough to see if the Marui upgrade hammer springs are compatible? My gun is light striking in warm temp so id like to swap the hammer spring if possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Remove the back grip, remove the screw that holds the hammer casing assembly, punch pin going through the hammer casing out and pull the hammer casing assembly. Left and right safeties can detach from the center pin piece. Do mind the detent pin. You can remove the right thumb safety only (safety function gets disabled). You can also just remove the left thumb safety....safety function stays. Or....you can remove the thumb safety assembly. You do this procedure in a couple of minutes or so. Any chance someone can post a vid / pics guide for an idiot like me? If not I might have to make one myself after blundering around a bit first. 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 If someone makes a video I would appreciate it! Want to do it to mine eventually but don't want to release too much TM magic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I don't think that would affect the TM magic, that is in the hop . Though I might find I am used to having the safety levers myself as I do ride the thumb safety on my 1911s and the M&P one looks just right to rest the tip of my thumb on (on a 1911 it is more the lower scetion of my thumb that sits on the safety). Tomorrow I should have mine to find out and if I like the safties then they stay, if not then I will remove them and put up some pics as I go. 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 It is nice to have the safety there I will admit. I quite like it but it'd be nice to see what its like without it. I liked the WE M&P without, plus it'll mean this TM will fit into my custom Kydex holster that was designed without the safety in mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Well the only thing is some pics show it having quite a gap between the frame and the actual lever. Maybe it is just as the pics are up close or the slide is slightly wider than the frame and that is to accomodate but it looks a bit naff to me. Either way still can't wait, gives me a striker fired gun with a good potential thumb rest (never got on with the Glock add-on ones).

DeltaZero Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Fair point. I've been considering getting hold of some RS frame plugs to remove the gap, don't know if they will work but it can't be too hard. Edited October 1, 2014 by DeltaZero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 It looks like they are quite different and won't fit. Also, not sure if it is me or not, but the RS version of the safety lever look hinged at the base of the lever while the TM ones have the rest of the metal lever inside that goes to a point further back meaning they move shift up rather than rotate. Still I am surprised we haven't already had the likes of Guarder or someone offering frames that are pre-made for non-safety options in the typcial black/tan/green options.

DeltaZero Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah it would be nice. A green one would be lovely. You're right they do look very different, but I'm hoping they might be moddable somehow. I know a couple guys in the states that might be able to bounce them over for me so it'll only be $10 or so I expect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm wondering how hard it would be to make a 3D print of the plugs in black plastic. My 6 mags and OEM slide arrived but the frame is still a few days away. I'll know better then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you kind sir, now to find something to punch out the pin and a for my pistol to arrive . EDIT: And with that, mine has arrived. It is in my desk as I am still at work.

thatguy404 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 If i'm honest, I like the safety as a thumb rest.Didn't think I would but I do.Put quite a few round down range with it, stripped a re-lubed a few times.It's still quite stiff to cock (pushing down the hammer)Anybody else still having this issue?Or is this a trait of the striker fired pistols? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Managed to get home and have a crack at mine which was good. The thumb safety is so going, sticks out far too much from the frame it seems and just too high up for my thumb when combined with the grip. Small backstrap is on now which is perfect for me, always found the smaller option on all modern pistols fits best. Now to just wait it out at work until the time to go home, pop that hammer mech out and remove that safety. It is a striker so should be fine enough anyway . Finally I did notice the gun being a touch stiff to cock, will have to play about with it, take it apart and re-lube it to see what it ends up like but it is fine enough as I don't need to rack the slide manually that often.

sacairsoftsn00py Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 A firm grip and a good tug is needed. Dont overdo it though.. It is on the harder side but the more you do it, the better it starts to feel. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Imagine Sheryl Crow singing that 0_0 I was more thinking of the drunk bloke on Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere that is singing about his vasectomy, either way it would be funny. Also not long until I get to go home and have a right good fiddle with my weapon. Will have it not too stiffy and shooting the white pellets soon enough.
