Shield.... S&W new M&P 9mm
« on: April 13, 2012, 05:28:58 PM »



Put 150 rounds through the gun today. It shot very well with acceptable combat accuracy out to 50 Yards (10" steel).
Great trigger for a gun of this size with short reset.
Has a thin profile like the Kahr CW9 9mm.
If the regular M&P compact fit your hand I would go with it. I have the 4 1/4 and the compact M&P both are great guns.
I'll be interested in seeing how the ladies in my CCW class shoot it this week end.

Nice pistol Jack! Always loved the M&P line. Can't wait to hear what you think about it after you get another few hundred rounds down range.

Indeed, I'm looking forward to hearing your'e thoughts after some more range time.

DD & Jack F

How do you like the external safety?

I think that feature will keep me from buying it.

I am not a fan and would prefer it was not there.   I won't be using it.  I think it would be difficult to activate unintentionally.

I hope someday there will be a version without a thumb safety.

Adam,
    I'm not too excited about the safety myself and will probably hold off on getting one and see if they offer a model without it at some point. I have the PM40 which I like a lot and it has been flawless.
