s&w M&P pistols

[dyerwatcher]

I am very impressed with my M&P 9C. I have had it for about six months and have not fired my Taurus 92 since. I am a 1911 fan and normally carry my Kimber Pro TLE II, but the M&P 9C is my next choice. I am very pleased.

You can add me to the list of M&P fans. I have the 9mm Pro and the 9c compact. I can foresee a full-size .45 and a .40 Pro in my future...

Same here, I have two M&P's, a .40 Full Size and a Pro 9mm, love them both, I have not held a Compact yet, but hope to soon

the good, the bad and the ugly lets hear it

been doing some reading myself on the M&P's.

Here's some info from those who like to compete with them:

Out of all the semi-auto pistols I have owned I like the M&P the best. Solid gun, accurate, and a great price to boot. I give my S&W M&P 9mm full size a big

Great link!

Great link!

Thanks, I like to read feedback from guys who shoot competitively because who else puts more rounds downrange than these guys?

I have a 9mm fs with crimson trace and am on the brink of buying a 9mm compact. I have a few thousand rounds through mine and haven't had any problems at all. I'm a big fan.

I too am a fan of the MPs. I bought my first MP9 Full Size in 2007 shortly after they were introduced. You could get them for $389 (plus a $50 rebate and 2 extra mags) back then. That gun has over 7,000 rounds through it without a single issue. I've since bought a MP45 Full Size and love it just the same.

CDNN Investments had the MP9s in Full-size for $449 which is the best pricing I've seen in a while (last month). They have gradually increased in price the last couple of years and I bet they are hitting their price plateau now. I saw them at the last 1500 for $459 (is was a MP9c) and $489 at several booths.

The Apex Sear install is easy and a must-do for under $40. One of the Apex reps even joined INGO to add info (which is pretty cool).

I've converted one buddy away from his Glocks and another away from his Sigs with my MP. They both shot my MP9 more accurately than their Glocks or Sigs and said that the gun simply fit their hand better. Nothing wrong with Glocks or Sigs by the way.

SW hit a home-run with these. They combined ergonomics, accuracy, price and durability in one sweet line of pistols. SW customer service rocks. I love how they pay for shipping and will fix anything for you. Never had to use them on my MPs though.

I shoot my MP9 better than just about anything I own. In fact, I'm selling my CZs because I shoot my MP9 better. I never thought I'd ever say that

I have one in 9 and 1 in .45. I don't like the stock sites to much so I replaced them with a set from Warren Tactical. That is the one and only complaint I have had about them.

 

[LLDJR]

Before I bought the two that I now have, the only downside/UGLY I saw was about dry firing, evidently this was resolved sometime in 2009 according to the tech people that I emailed at S&W.

Evidently a lot of dry firing was determined to cause issues in the early models.

Love the 45 version. the Crimson Trace laser fits perfectly and makes for a fun firearm.

My Father started off with an m&p .40, then a 9mm pro, now a .40c. I have not shot the compact yet. However I have nothing negative to say about them. They are well built, accurate, and reliable. They are a must have for my collection in the future.

Love that they are Made in the USA as well.

An often overlooked great point!

How snappy is the .40 in compact?

I am wondering how snappy the compact is compared to the full size M&P? I'm currently spending most of my time shooting my sigma and was guessing that the full size would be about the same but would like some insight on the compact before I purchase one. Any help is greatly appriciated as I don't know anyone with a compact .40 to let me shoot. Thanks again.

I can't compare it to the full size yet, but my 9c is very controllable.

I haven't got a chance to fire it yet, but the M&P9 feels VERY good in my hand. I fondled both the 9 and the 9c, and like I said somewhere else, the 9c felt top heavy in my hand, as the grip was too short for my hands.

I am anxious to go pop some rounds off. Maybe tomorrow.

If you ever shoot at pop guns feel free to shoot my compact or full size.

I've actually been into Pop Guns a couple times, never purchased anything just stopping by to look around every chance I get. Very nice store you all have going there.
