First off, I owe a big thank you to Tom and Brian at Tri Cities Gun Depot! I try to research my purchases before showing up but i still end up handling every gun in the shop before making a decision.

I have been looking for a winter carry gun. Its been a challenge. I wanted something in .45 but it needed to be concealable but yet large enough to handle comfortably. I can't say enough about how balanced this M&Pc .45 is in my hand. I will take it to the range and give a full report tomorrow. Until then; all i have to offer is a picture

Nice,

looking forward to the range report.

I have a .45C also and love it! I use the Crossbreed IWB holster. Good luck finding any extra mags. They do not exist unless you order them! Great Purchase!!!!!

What about a pic of the sights on this thing? Are they tritium? Nice gun.

I thought you were a glock guy! haha Didn't like those M&P's.

Nice gun! Might have to get one to match the 9.

[Guest FiddleDog]

Those are great shooters. Don't be surprised when you punch the center x out of your target on your first shot with that guy.

Joe, mine did not come with factory night sights but i will order some this week. Noting wrong with the stock sights--i just prefer night sights on a carry gun.

On to the range trip. i LOVE this gun. Recoil is very low for a .45 of this size (reminded me of a G26--maybe less.) It will take me a little while to get used to having a manual safety on a carry gun. I fired 120 rounds today (100 blazer, 20 Hornady Critical Defense) and i cannot report any failures. Gun was flawless thus far. I can't wait to take it to the range again. I did miss a little to the left on occasion --not at all the guns fault. I know i was "slapping" the trigger on a few shots....hence the flyer's to the left. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for concealable .45

Dude, it looks dead to me

Looking good Ben!!!

I have the full size M&P 45. I like the gun alright but it shoots low I have shot it enough to determine that. I need to find a shorter front sight.

Bummer. Although I have since added Trijicon Night Sights, when I bought my M&P 45 it had the factory sights and I do not recall it shooting low. Does S&W have shorter sights available?

Can't you remove the safety? Mine didn't come with one but it has a place for one?

Nice! I have the M&P 45 Mid-size and love it. Great shooting gun.

You can.
