Why not go big boy and go 45ACP?

Yep but 40 is free to me so no issues finding it. Also I have 6 45 so don't really have a great passion for another is want something different this time

I understand what you are saying though.

This build thread has re-sparked my desire to build up an M&P. Time to go look at my options.

The mailman was good to me today. I got home the mailbox was full of some small parts. So Kaden has been sick and was sleeping on the couch so I got to go to my "man cave" to play.
I got:
The 3.5 trigger set up...this was actually from a LGS....but he mailed it so I would not have to drive over to get it
extened slide lock release
locking block
pins/springs
grip plug

continued in next post....

So, you should build the 40 and then get a conversion barrel to 9mm.
The 40 is thicker than the 9mm and you will need it for the slide.
If you already purchased the 17L slide (9mm), you might have a problem getting a 40 S7W barrel to fit.

As far as building an M&P, To my knowledge, finding a lower and upper for M&P's is a BIG TASK!

Have just finished taking a 9mm CORE and milling the slide with three windows on the top and sides to reduce weight.
Added a complete APEX trigger job with Straight trigger and competition springs.
The slide just went out to be Cerakote finished. I will have it back on Monday and photos to follow.
I have a C-more STS on top with tall S&W sights.
Added a maxwell to aid in speed reloads and away we go.
