I don't make a dime on them and could care less if people rush out and buy one based on what I say but, much like a Glock, 1911, AK47 or any other proven firearm out there, it irks me when people say they aren't any good w/o substantiating such claims. Tends to sway the conversation off course from actual conversation to stupid debates that nobody wins. In fact, I wouldn't have had a problem with anything else you said in the post save for that one statement that I quoted.


Well, ok, so if you read my post instead of going on this bizarre reply-to-everyone-fest, you'd have an idea why it's not a good training proposition. With a conversion, you're shooting /literally/ with your own gun. Not a five pound bare bones plastic rifle, but honest-to-god, your own rifle. I have a Magpul CTR, Aimpoint Micro, Midlength railed handguard, TD grip, Magpul AFG, Redimag, and a Surefire flashlight. It's not an unusual setup. The S&W as it comes is *nothing* like my real gun.

I know I'm not in the minority for having customized my gun. I won't be spending an extra $1k to make the $450 M&P shoot like my real AR15, when $200 of conversion does the same job, better.

Y'know, previously, a point could have been made about the BHO functionality on the Atchissons being an issue, but with CMMG's innovations (the topic of this thread, not an M&P cheerfest), the conversion is /the/ way to go now.
