question M&P9 carriers

[Guest mmarcum]

I'm looking at buying an M&P9 and would like to know how well you feel like your M&P's are holding up? Some of you will put more rounds through them in a year then I will put through one in a lifetime. Is it worth the money or is it over hyped as many handguns are?

[Mike]

I have 8 or 9,000 rounds through mine with no problems so far.

Todd Green put 62,333 rounds through one before it had a crack develop in the slide. The pistol still functioned but S&W decided to stop the test. It even managed an 1.5" group post breakage at 25yds.

Don't know how many rounds but my daily carry is a M&P 40C. They are great guns.

[Guest bkelm18]

No hype about it. Quality pistols.

[Guest m&pc9]

You will be happy.

HYPE ?

It has no hype as far as I noticed ,I would def try one before I

bought it though -

[daddyo]

I have a 9 compact that I carry. I have no reason to believe that it is inferior to any other plastic pistol and I'd put it up against a Glock any day.

[Kegger]

I'm right around the same round count as Mike.

And he knows how bad I treat my guns, and mine runs like a sewing machine. I think I might have cleaned it once? Most likely on accident too, lol.

Every time I want it to go bang, it goes bang. You'll be very happy with it.

i have the m&p in both 9 and 40 with about 1500-2000 rounds. never had one problem with them.

you wont regret it.

[Guest spoolie]

M&P 9 pro series....several hundred rounds down the pipe....never a problem once.

[Guest 10mm4me]

I had one, sold it though. But only cause I wanted a rifle or something, can't remember. It was good while I had it. Thinkin' bout pickin' up a M&P9c for carry here soon. Carryin fullsize guns all the time is doin a number on my back.

[Guest Moody]

I carry an M&P (albeit, .45), daily, and have run it pretty hard - never had a problem, not once. I may clean it occasionally... and that's a maybe. As far as an M&P9 - I have shot Mike's (whom posted earlier), and was immediately impressed with it, and accurate, over my Sig 9mm. Great firearm, honestly.

I only have a few hundred down mine. My favorite pistol right now.

[Links2k]

I have had one for a few years. Very good gun. I only have a few hundred rounds thru mine because the G19 is my daily carry. I added the Apex parts and the trigger is now as smooth as butter. It will be a good buy. Like one member mentioned try one out first.

[finz50]

Between my full size and compact M&Ps, I've got about 1,200 rounds between them. Other than some FTEs due to a batch of weak ammo, they run like a dream...they replaced my Glocks as my EDC firearms.

[Guest spoolie]

I thought I would see someone do a torture test on a M&P..

[Guest Moody]

Hey! I consider 900-1000 rounds to be run... When I get to 8000 like you, I'll be sure to throw it on the ground, piss on it, and then proclaim victory.

[Sandman]

I have a .45 M&P. About 4,000 rounds through it. Not one problem.

As soon as youtube cooperates you'll see almost that.

[eapking]

+1 on the M&P 9 full size. Worth every cent.

[Mike]

For your entertainment.

[Guest Moody]

I love it. I expected urine, though. Water is good enough.

[Guest mmarcum]

Wow zero negative comments out of 22. OK I will go look at and test drive one to see if I like it. I'm veryy impressed and thank you all for the information.

[DMark]

.... I added the Apex parts and the trigger is now as smooth as butter....

I did the same with my 9Pro and now it has the trigger that S&W should have made it with in the first place.

The issue is S&W's OEM Striker Block that gives a very gritty trigger pull. The Apex "Ultimate Striker Block" changes the geometry for a smooth takeup before the trigger bar engages the sear cam.

BTW - Accurate, Accurate, Accurate...., Did I mention how Accurate the M&P is?
