However, upon watching The Walking Dead it’s fairly clear that T-Dog’s   survival is due to dumb luck or some sick twisted joke the writers are playing on all of us. At this point it does not matter. T-Dog made it to Season 3 when he clearly wasn’t supposed to and now I think he needs our help to see the end of this series.

Quite frankly, T-Dog’s choice in weaponary has been questionable. One minute it’s a wrench, then a hammer and now that he finally has a dedicated firearm it’s still subpar. A Smith & Wesson Lady Smith? Really? Come on T-Dog.  Everyone knows that was Andreas Gun, and even she’s carrying a Berretta 92 FS.

Honestly, I blame the writers. It’s bad enough T-Dog is practically invisible, but still you equip him with a gun my invisible little sister wouldn’t carry? I think we all need to head over to The Walking Dead Facebook page  and petition the writers to equip T-Dog with a Smith & Wesson M&P.  Why an M&P you ask, well if he’s going carry a Smith & Wesson at least give him the best one.

So if you’re reading this kindly go over to The Walking Dead Facebook Page and leave the comment “T-Dog needs an M&P”.

Thank You.

Here’s the thing, as much as I love my Glock 19 I have a sick and twisted desire to see it knocked off its throne. The way I see it, the M&P series of handguns is in the perfect position to  do that but Smith & Wesson keeps trying to pass off that step child of a gun the M&Pc as their answer to the Glock 19.

Out of all the M&Ps my favorite is the 9c, but its not good enough. The biggest selling point of the 19 is its size. The 19 is small enough to conceal and big enough to fight with, its just right. The M&Pc size wise is small enough to conceal and arguably big enough to fight with, but its like buying a Porsche boxer. Dude, just get the Cayman and be done with it.

The M&Pc is Smith & Wesson’s passive aggressive attempt to compete with the Glock 19.  If you’re going to go at the king go right at him, don’t side step to try to give the appearance that you’re not competing. It’s like breaking up with Eva Longoria and trying to make her jealous by dating  Mila Kunis. It’s going to take the likes of Sofia Vergada to incite envy in Ms. Longoria.

Size wise, the M&Pc sits right between the Glock 19 and Glock 26, which wouldn’t be so bad if there was an M&P comprable to the 19. The M&Pc is like being on a health food diet, you like brown rice and grilled chicken breast but you keep looking at your  best friend inhaling his double cheese burger.

I said all that to say this, Smith & Wesson please just create an M&P 19.  I have faith that an M&P the size of the 19 with the trigger of the shield would make the 19 sit up and take notice if not scare the living shit out of it. I love my 19 but she needs to know that I can do better than her if she starts acting up. Right now my 19 has no competition, I need a Sofia Vergada to put my 19 in its place.

The day Smith & Wesson comes out with an M&P Glock 19 Killer im buying 3 of them. Just Cause.

The Following are the reasons for each modification as learned through my conversation with Doug.

Half Top Serrations

- Single hand manipulation simply using your back sights seems great in theory, but alot harder in real life. The half top serrations make single hand manipulation real world practical. Besides, they look cool as hell.

Front Side Serrations 

- Ever try to press check a gun only to end up slipping and pinching yourself between the top of the barrel? The Front Side Serrations make press checking a breeze.

Slabbed Side Cuts

- improves point-ability and wield-ability. Minimizes over travel  from target to target.

ISMI 20lbs Recoil Spring Installed and 22lbs for +P+ 

- Ever seen a gun beat it self to death? Well, this gun won’t do that.

Custom Laser Engraved Costa Logo

- It’s Costa’s gun.

Custom Laser Engraved ATEi Logo

- ATEi made the Gun

Slide Refinished in Hard Nitride Black 

- OEM slide treatment more than  comparable to Glock tennifer treatment

4lbs Trigger Pull with Minimal Over-travel / Enhanced Trigger Reset

- Kind of Speaks for itself

10-8 Performance Red Fiber Optic Front Sight / U-Notch Rear Sight

- Costa literally runs this on his guns.

DFC 360 Deg. Stippling (Including all factor Back Starps) 

- Ever tried shooting a slippery gun? Exactly. The stipple job helps you keep your grip in the worst of conditions.

DFC Trigger Guard Undercut 

- I don’t know about you but my middle finger and the trigger guard on my stock M&P fight constantly. This will put an end to all of that.

DFC Mag-well Bevel 

- Gives you that necessary purchase to yank that mag out of the Mag-well

DFC Front Index Points

- Keeps your booger finger of the trigger

21st Century Gunfighter Costa Catalyst Extended Mag Release 

- You really thought this would not be on this gun ?

Nickel Boron (NiB) Polished Barrel 

- Because Costa leaked the concept photo so they had to give the people what they want. Besides, it looks sick.

There is no word yet about second batch. When I hear something about a second release I will you guys know about it. I’ve decided to send my M&P 9 to ATEi to get some work done. Hopefully, I can get a review out to you guys when it’s done.

The post ATEi/Chris Costa M&P Revisited appeared first on Mr Colion Noir.

I love the  the M&P series pistols. Currently, I am trying to find myself (The Gunner version). I have been a long time Glock Fanboy but I have been cheating on my Glocks with the M&P and now I am torn. The M&P is an excellent platform and improves on a lot of the things Glocks do decently but could do better. This ATEi/Costa mashup is sexy, but $1500 sexy?

Sure, they have done a hell of a lot to this gun, and like I keep saying it looks magnificent, but personally, I can’t say I would pay $1500 for a tricked out M&P.  For that Price I could could by an M&P Shield, 9c, and 9. Jumping off my box of hypocrisy, I would pay 3k for a Wilson Combat if I had the money.

I don’t know, I really do like the Chris Costa/ATEi M&P 9 Mashup and if I keep looking at pictures of it I am sure I can find some kind of way of justifying  it without feeling like  a tool. I have been known to be totally against something only to become its biggest advocate (Apple Products).

What do you think, $1500 for a tricked out M&P make sense to you?

I think I want one now. I’m pathetic. I don’t care. Look at it. Stop Judging me!

The post $1500 for an M&P? I Guess appeared first on Mr Colion Noir.

I have to confess, I could do without the “COSTA” plastered on the slide of the gun. Don’t get me wrong, I think Costa is the S**t, but I don’t need to be reminded of it every time I pick up my gun. I understand the branding implications but I could do without it.

The Chris Costa M&P is supposed to be available this Wednesday. ATEi is not saying exactly what they did to this gun, but a blind man can see that like a sleazy Asian Message parlor, they have touched every aspect of this gun. Check out the ATEi Facebook for more pics.

To get a better idea of the type of happy endings ATEi likes to give their guns you can check their website.
