I was finally able to shoot the newest member of the family this weekend!
Firearm in question is a Smith & Wesson M&P 9c, no mag safety, + thumb safety.
I only shot 150 rounds through it, but had absolutely ZERO malfunctions what-so-ever.
50 rds Remington UMC, 50 S&B, 50 Blazer Brass. All FMJ and all 115gr.
This is one of the softest shooting 9mm pistols that I've ever fired, especially for a polymer frame!
I have 4 total magazines for this pistol; but only one with the finger extension. The thing is easy enough to control without the extensions, and is just a honey-pot with 'em. I should be getting 3 more extensions from S&W this week for the other magazines.
My quibbles: Thumb safety. It's in the way. I don't know if that means that I need to "cut it down" like is recommended for the addition of a Crimson Trace grip... or if I should just remove it.
Also, I seem to be shooting this pistol both low and left. I think the low issue is from the gun (low front sight?). But since I shot another pistol "left" yesterday, too, I'm prepared to blame that on the shooter.
All in all, I really like the M&P. It's well on its way to becoming a carry weapon, the purpose for which I intended.
