These guns stock will outperform alot of the heavily modified glocks that are being used in the limited division. I am yet to find another poly gun on the same level as a m&P and i've shot all of the major brands I had a m&p40, traded it for a double stack 1911 for uspsa, after shooting the 1911 for 2 years i boought another m&p pro so i can also shoot in the production division, while it might not be on the same level as a good 1911 costing thousands of dollars i forgot how great of shooters these are.

It was OK but the trigger was a bear. When the M&P came out I was amazed at the difference. I immediately traded up to an M&P40. I now have an M&P40 and an M&P9. Both are excellent shooters. I've put several thousand rounds thru both with no problems. I recently had Novak install a green fiber optic front and an adjustable wide gap rear on the 9mm. What a beauty to shoot. I will be purchasing an M&P 40c with Crimson Trace Laser for CCW in the next few days. I am sold on the M&P......... I originally purchased a Sigma .40. It was OK but the trigger was a bear.

It's incredible, after a thousand or so rounds with no malfunctions it still keeps on going. This pistol is nothing less than fantastic, the fire controls are excellent, accuracy is excellent and the hand fit is very comfortable. One of the nicest pistols I own.

I have fired a couple thousand rounds through it and have not had a single problem with it. The only thing I don't like is the trigger reset; is there a way to adjust it?

Will they interchange? This says a lot for the M&P auto pistol. Can you shoot the 357 in a 40 cal magazine? Will they interchange? This says a lot for the M&P auto pistol.

It's easy to handle, even my 12 year old son can handle it and even put smaller groups at 15 yards than me. Only having problem in purchasing extra magazine which I intend to order soon on line. Holster is also difficult to get so I got it on line and shipped here but it was too tight and will have to heat it up to loosen the tightness at the muzzle end so that trigger retention will become useful. I envy guys there in the US where you can buy this gun cheaper. It cost's here in the Philipiines slightly over $1000 Purchased MP45 a a couple of months back and fired more than 500 rounds.

Not a single misfire and it feels very good in the hand. When I bought it, I tried Glocks and a whole stack of other 9mm compacts. As soon as the S&W compact came to hand, it was the only one that felt right, bringing a grin immediately. There are flaws, though. The mag release sticks on mine and has to be forced back to lock the mag after releasing the spent one. The tool in the grip is next to worthless as it gets chewed up easily, being made of plastic. We need some metal here! My compact 9mm M&P shoots very well and I’ve run about 300 rounds in one session down in eastern Oregon. Not a single misfire and it feels very good in the hand.
