10-8 Performance Custom M&P9

[TripleBravo]

10-8 Performance's 2013-1 run of six customized M&P 9s will be up for sale at noon on August 31, 2013. I had the privilege of handling and photographing the prototype of these pistols. It went against every instinct I had to box it back up and send it back.

It's worth noting that the prototype had a thumb safety. The run will be the model WITHOUT a thumb safety.

The new owners of these guns are quite fortunate. The guns looks fantastic and probably handle/work even better. As a fan of manual safeties, I would love to get one of these with a safety, but beggars can't afford to be choosers....
