How about the 5" M&P Pro?

I have several M&Ps, all apexed.  The 2.0 triggers in the 3 I have shot may be a little better than the 1.0 but not much. I just finished apex on a 2, big improvement.  I would get a deal on a standard 1.0 and apex it, including the barrel.  I have tried 320s and xdm.  Firmly a MP fan.

That's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks. would you get the standard 4.25" over the 5" for the $$$ savings?

I have both and enjoy shooting both.  Honestly, I can't tell you I see a big difference, especially shooting IDPA.  It may be more in my mind, but I shoot the 5" mostly, and that is the one I put the apex barrel in.  Naturally have more $ in it.  I use a Dawson FO front, but just put a yellow Ameriglo TCAP on a 4" and will shoot it more now.  For 3/4" I don't think it really matters especially if the money is right.  IF $ are the deciding factor go 4" and put the extra money in the Apex products for an overall better gun.

Alright, Cabelas has a 4.25" M&P9 new for $299, free ship to store plus rebate! I just need to figure out how to buy since they dont have a TN store. They say it has to ship to store.

Sounds like a road trip to Bristol or chattanooga.  Great price though

I'm not sure the Chattanooga Cabelas will sell it to me since they are technically in GA. I tried to order it, and it wouldnt let me. I'm going to call them. I also found a used police trade in somewhere else for the same price with more mags. Are the older M&P's just as good as a new one if I'm going to Apex it anyway?

They'll have to send it to an FFL in GA and you do a background check and pick it up there. If they'll do that.
