Smith and Wesson M&P 9 - WOW!!

[BlueCow]

s&w used to make a pro series m&p in a 4.25 barrel. when i bought my m&p thats what i wanted, but i couldnt find them anywhere so i bought the m&p9 range and carry kit. the m&p shield trigger has a reset, and supposedly s&w is going to start putting the same triggers in all m&p's.

They actually had a pro series 4.25 at the shop when i bought mine. They said it had a little bit nicer trigger in it. I cant remember how much more it was but it was enough where i bought the one I did. This was my first S&W and I wasnt sure if I was even gonna like it so I didnt want to spend more than needed. Im kinda kickin myself now because I REALLY like the M&P. lol

Once you get the Apex parts, you'll like it a lot better.

I tried the M&P but went back to Glock for Striker guns. I just like Glocks better.

Nice pick up though Im sure youll be very happy with it.

Between the Springfield XDs, Glock 19, and Ruger LC9, I will pick up my M&P .45 first, every time.

I picked up an M&P 9fs Pro this summer and I've been very satisfied with it. Love the feel of the smooth recoil, easy to get back on target quickly, and the dependability. The trigger isn't bad on the Pro being tactile but not audible on the reset. My accuracy not as good as yours but I'm hoping it improves with practice, my fault not the gun's.

Glad you love your M&P. Had a Glock of some sort for over 15 years, but fell in love with the M&P after shooting my wife's 9c. Traded my 19 for a 9c as well. I personally don't mind the trigger. I can feel a slight re-set and shoot it well. As with any gun, there are minor differences that you need to get used to. My double action revolvers felt different than the DA/SA of my duty Sigs, and the Glock feels different than the M&P. Don't get in a big hurry to change things out. Put a few hundred more rounds through the M&P, and decide then if you need to change the trigger. Looks from the photos you posted that you are doing ok with the stock trigger!!

I probably wont be messing with the trigger any time soon. It shoot very well the way it is. I may eventually do it to get a lighter pull but I may not. So far im 100% happy with it and definitely glad I got it.

I have the same M&P i've always had xd's but im loving the M&P just waiting to get the apex upgrade.

While the additional APEX parts aren't necessary, they do make the trigger more "Glock-like'. I like what they did for my M&P.

There are a few minor things that I also preferred about the stock M&P over the Glock when I made the switch.

• Hinged trigger vs. safety bar
• Beavertail grip
• Slimmer grip circumference/profile
• Slick non-shrouded magazines
• Magazine baseplates that allow for single-handed ripping

I agree, the trigger isnt bad, just not what im used to.

Along with the things you liked about them over the glock, I also like the slide serrations better than the glock. Seems like you get alot better grip with them.

I agree except for the BT..I shaved one of mine off.

Why didnt you like it?

 

[cardio1]

My first handgun and still love it. With the different backstraps, made a hand fit really easy.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it

Very nice gun, I've lots of good things about it. So I narrowed my next purchase to the M&P as well but in .40.

What distance did you shoot those groups at? Is that what your groups look like at the same distance with the G17?

10 Yards. Yea the groups with the G17 are pretty close to the same.

Why didnt you like it?

I just did not feel that it was needed and wanted to remove it so that it was one less thing to get caught on a shirt or whatever, when drawing.
