I went to Gander Mountain today and an M&P 9mm followed me to the range and home.
I gotta say I’m impressed. This is the second most accurate out of the box mass production gun I’ve shot. And it handled 250 rounds in a near freezing range straight from the store, no cleaning, no lube.
Damn.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
Am I the last hold out???
Better not even touch the things.
I went to GM with the wife so she could find out if it fit her. She was OK with the medium grip, but I think the small grip would be money. Anyway, she exclaimed “Oh my!” when she held it. I knew it, she was sold. So be bought 250 rounds of UMC and headed out to the nearest range. I have to say the only thing I want on this gun is night sights. I don’t feel like mucking with it. It’s very good out of the box. I tried to shoot bad and the gun wouldn’t let me.
I left the range thinking about selling my Glock 17.
My wife has a 17 and she shoots it very well. Shooting it is what got me started on Glocks in the first place…
Better not let her handle an M&P either I guess.
OH MY! :eek:
Well, well, well…look who finally broke down 
Welcome to the club!
Another one bites the dust.
I have to say, if Dport likes it, it must be good, cause he’s FINICKY! 
when i go to the safe the 1911s look at me dirty because of these guns…i have the compact on the way…the full size is already my primary self defense handgun…
you will be very pleased
Finicky? Sure. Picky? Not so much.
That being said, I think this gun could satisfy the most picky pistolero.
I was shooting just as fast as I could at a silhouette target at 7 yards, one of those on what appears to be 11" by 14" piece of paper, and I had a hard time getting the shots to leave the 9 ring. I had to go exceptionally fast. Out of 220 rounds, I got one to get into the 8 ring, barely. Most just opened up 1 1/2" to 2" diameter hole in the X-ring.
Smith really has hit a home run with these I think. The more I mess with my 9, the better I like it. I am REALLY excited about the M&P 45.
I’m still holding out.
Reading threads like this ain’t helping!
I hear you.
I’m going to get a 9c, then the 45 when it comes out.
Looks like the G17/19/21 will have to go on the block first, though…:eek:
You would show up. It was your “you need to pick one up” that did me in.:mad:
I can’t help but laugh every time I read this thread 
Support group…[rob schnieder]you can dew it![/rob schnieder]
It’s the singer, not the song.
I’m the real limiting factor.
I can’t afford to switch out all my holsters.
Mags are still too expensive.
They’re not really proven yet.
You’re not guiltless either, bub.:mad:
Wooohoooohhoooooohooo
You will be getting a bill.
As per LOCNLODs last post;
I probably would not have gotten my M&P if it did not come with 3 mags and a bladetech holster and double mag pouch. I went to the store to get another Glock. I traded 15 year old weapons that I don’t use any more. If money had to change hands, I’d a just bought range time and ammo.
The pistol seems pretty stright. I don’t think my Glocks and 1911s are going any where though. Even if the pistol does turn out to be the shiznit, I don’t see my self swithching over. Different disigns have different advantages. In 9mm, for me personally, I think the M&P is just too large. For this caliber I’ll stick with the 19 for now. If the M&P .45 is ANY larger then the .40/9mm MP, it will also be too large for me. This means that my 1911s will continue to serve in that caliber.
That is why I got the M&P. I wanted a .40 that was designed for .40.
Just my 2 cents…so far…

It was only a matter of time
For whatever it’s worth, I was just making some semi-humorous excuses…really if you’re in the market for a new handgun right now, and not seriously bound to a current platform, I’d say you’re dumb not to at least look at the M&Ps.
