Looks good however it looks like a glock upper... I like the m&p fish scales on the front and back of slide.. thats what makes m&ps diffrent from every one else.. thats why im keeping mine stock with the floyds magwell and baseplates.. sweet video though.
Floyd’s makes great stuff
I hope u put a Apex flatty in that bad boy

Oh hell ya. The Apex sat on my desk for quite a while before I cerakote it to color match the gun and then did the install. Apex flatty is the best upgrade you can do on an M&P
@@360TacticalSolutions ain't that the truth I didn't notice how bad the m&p trigger was till I got the apex it's night and day, wayy too much overtravel in the factory threw my shots of I definitely shoot better tighter groups since the change 👍
I'm a fan of the M&P m2.0 line of pistols and that is one good looking build you have there, looks extremely well done.
It’s my carry gun like 99% off the time. Aside from performance being amazing, the weight and capacity are perfect and it conceals really well
Something to think about, if you get Floyd’s magwell, your factory baseplates will not fit the gun. You will have to get Floyd’s baseplates or extensions. I have the magwell, baseplates and extensions, everything is top notch quality
I believe I touched on that in another video. Even without the magwell the Floyds basepads are great. They add a bit of extra weight which helps free stubborn mags. I love Floyds
Real nice piece
Im stripping it down very soon for a face lift. About time for a color change
Apex flatty for the trigger is the word around
I actually do have the Apex. It came in after I finished the video series and I’ve been so busy with other guns and this pandemic bs I haven’t even installed it yet
@@360TacticalSolutions aww man lls that's wassup ill be waiting on the vid
Thanks for the video! Having installed Apex barrels in two 1.0's and three 2.0's, I can say that the upgrade is a must for a 1.0 and barely noticeable with the 2.0
J the only reason I bought the apex...still haven’t had time to do the install...is because I like the feel of the flat faced trigger. I really should make time to install it lol
There is a traditional Muay Thai exercise that my kru (sensei) used to make us do to help train our eyes not to blink when getting punched in the face... You simply tap your eyebrows repeatedly with the sides of your index fingers with your hands held straight as if you are doing a karate chop motion while forcing yourself to keep your eyes open. We did this for 30-45 seconds at a time and though it looked goofy as hell, it was super effective. I found that this even helped me when it came to re-aligning my sights in between each shot as well as improving my body's reaction or responses to the recoil of the gun. Teaches you not to flinch, helps you predict the recoil, and essentially helps keep both eyes open and on your opponent/target at all times.
Thats actually a good practice technique. That day shooting was rough. I was sick, the weather was shit and the ammo I was using was garbage. Every time I pulled the trigger I was getting crap blown back at me in my eyes. After the first couple rounds I started flinching and that just set the tone for the range trip. Excellent advice though, Ill definitely pass that on to some of the new shooters I mentor locally
Great review, quality video and doing good work man 👍
Much appreciated!
I actually like the scale shaped cuts better. I wonder if he could just make them deeper.
I’m sure Floyds probably could. Head over and give them an email. The scallop cuts weren’t bad but these are so much better
It makes me laugh on how people criticize everything except what the video is about. And they are carrying guns...mmmmmmm I wonder.....Thanks for the video it was great. I went on Floyd's sight I will be getting some work done.
Funny how that works. People love to criticize, what can ya do. On the topic of Floyd's...best slide work, best price and hands down best customer service there is. You won't be disappointed
Have you had any issues with your floyds tall irons hitting way high?
They are a bit taller than some of the ones I’ve used on other guns but suppressor height sights are always going to be a higher point of impact. Honestly I dont even use or train with them anymore. I do regular battery changes on my dot and I trust it. If it goes down thats ok, I practice point and shoot with my dot’s emitter taped off and I’ve gotten pretty good at it. I find irons to just be so slow, inefficient and in a high stress situation they could end up being more of a liability than anything
Love the setup, now you just need to work on not blinking when you fire
How can I get the same exact one?
If you already have an M&P you can head over to the Floyd’s Custom site and they can go through the process of machining yours. Their work is top notch and surprisingly fast
Stop closing your eyes every time you fire. Your follow up shots will be much better
Nice gun but ya gotta tighten your grip and try not to blink every time you shoot. It looks like ur scared and the gun is uncontrollable. But nice build. Look at my vid on the gallowayprecision 15lb guide rod and the hyve monarch trigger. Will change ur life!!!
S&W DoubleTapper that was an interesting day. First time on a red dot in more time than I care to admit, shit ammo that kept blowing powder residue back at me, and to top it off I was out in the rain/snow mix with a fever. I shouldn’t have cut the part where I emptied the first mag and immediately threw up lol. I’ll check your video but I’ve got the Apex trigger sitting on my desk for the M&P. One of these days I should really take the time to cerakote it and finally do the install
What color cerakote is that? Looks nice. Now... get yourself an APEX trigger!! It's very easy to install. I have done 2 so far.
Rich the cerakote is Elite Series and the color is Concrete. I figured with it being a gun that rides in a holster a lot I might as well go Elite because it lasts the longest. The Apex was ordered and was delivered when this video posted, was the wrong trigger so I sent it back. I have the correct one on my desk and should be cerakoting it and the mag release to match the slide in the next week or so. The install job is definitely easy compared to some of the gun work I’ve done over the years
do you know what your sight heights are?
Dudechain damn I literally just threw the packaging away over the weekend. If you are looking for info hit up Floyd’s Custom Shop on Instagram and they can give you the specs. I ordered these sights through them when they did the slide work for me
Did you have to lighten the recoil spring?
I ran it with the stock spring and no optic for a couple hundred rounds and it ran well, just like stock. Then I added the optic and it didn't change much. Later on I did swap to a lighter spring just playing around to see how it would perform and the difference was minimal, I don't remember how many pounds the spring was
hey brotha what company makes that magwell you got on there? that thing looks super clean
Thats a Floyds Custom magwell, base pads and Floyds did the slide work. Best value on the market, amazing workmanship and their customer service is hands down the best out there
That looks awesome! What color Cerakote is that?
that’s cerakote elite series E-160 Concrete. Elite series is the strongest they make so I went with that since it’s a carry gun and rides in a kydex holster quite a bit
I’ve never been much of a mp guy but yours turned out fantastic! Well done 👍
rob tuffey it’s got a little ways to go but it’s getting there. I’m not much for Glocks but I’m considering finding a beat up G19 for my next build just to show how you can bring life back to a gun that hasn’t been taken care of
How much does it cost for the slide milling and the optics cut?
Colin Moran I don’t really like throwing prices out there because who knows, in two years this video could still be up and someone can see the pricing I’ve quoted and it could be wrong at that point. If you click the link to my site I’ve got Floyd’s info and link posted there. Price seems to be the major hang up with this kind of work but for me it was worth it. I looked into having Agency do my slide and Floyd’s was half the cost. Agency does some amazing work but I couldn’t justify their pricing
360 Tactical Solutions yeah I have looked all over the website and I can’t find a price so I was just asking because you are the first person I have found who had gotten it done recently
Colin Moran weird, it’s listed under each of the slide cut options. Currently, 01/27/2020 the Defiance cut with the cut for an RMR will set you back just over $300. That doesn’t include cerakote, suppressor height sights, mag well or mag extensions. They do have an incredibly talented shop doing their cerakote work so you can be assured if you add that option it will be really well done.
They do have multiple slide cut options listed on their site at different prices. The Defiance just happened to catch my eye the most
360 Tactical Solutions thank you! All I could find was “for an extra charge” you could get the RMR cut on top of the slide milling price. I just wanted a more exact number. You really helped with that. Thanks again.
Go to their FB page. They have a lot of pics and if you message them with your email, they will send you order/price sheet.
Where did you get the magwell upgrade?
The magwell, base plates and slide work were all Floyd's Custom Shop. If you follow the first link in the description I have all their information listed on my site
what color is that ?
Claudio Castruita that’s cerakote elite series E-160 Concrete. Elite series is the strongest they make so I went with that since it’s a carry gun and rides in a kydex holster quite a bit
thanks man, beautiful gun. did u pay more than the $ 60 they charge for one color since is a stroger cerakote ?
@@alecmya honestly I cant say. I do all my own Cerakote work. I can say the guys doing the Cerakote for Floyd's do an amazing job and I wouldn't expect a different price if you requested the E series coating. The material cost is the same and so is the process of application. If you send them a message on their website or maybe instagram they would be able to give you a for sure answer on that. In my 5+ years of cerakoting its been my experience that the standard H series Cerakote is a great product and lasts quite a while. The E series doesn't have as many colors but id say its twice as durable
tanks for the info
Claudio Castruita glad to help.
What color cerakote is your slide done in?
Clinton Moon that’s the E-Series Concrete
Where on the website did you find the order forms to download?
99Ironside it was a hell of a weekend and I think I missed putting that info on my website. I’ll add it this evening when I get home. You can contact Jeffery at customshopjefferyj@gmail.com and he will send you the order form or I’ll post it on the 360 Tactical Solutions site this evening for download
Dude you need to drink some water or something. I mean sweet slide work and everything but you got dry mouth from hell. It sounds like you’re walking through leaves.
lol I seriously drink almost a gallon a day. I think what you are hearing is that bs mic. There are some things you shouldn't try and save money on and that's one of them. I think this was the last video I filmed with that piece of crap before spending the money on a nice boom mic
Dude I was thinking the same thing. It made me thirsty just listening to it lmao
Lmao
Looove the brotha lynch poster! Your lighting is great. I noticed you turned up the audio. Just a taaad too high but your video quality is becoming amazing
turntupmoody lol I’ve had that poster hanging on my wall a long time. Definitely the most crazy show I’ve ever been to. And ya it’s a struggle with no background in audio/video but I’m working on it. Actually I should have my new set up installed and ready to go next month...have to do some rearranging in my office so I can make it work
That sound in your microphone is gross please fix it
Well that was a year ago...and I think we are 3 mics out from what was being used at that point
