M&P pro 9mm

[c.a.willard]

So good new bad news story from this guy.  Traded for a very good condition M&P pro in 9mm today to go with my full size M&P 9,  Im extreamly happy with it and am looking foward to putting some rounds down range.  I traded for this one because i want to get into IDPA but by other M&P has stippled grips.  Heres for the bad news, on the way home i wasnt paying close enough attention to the speed limit and got pulled over.  Speed limit dropped 55 to a 45 with out me noticing it.  Upside though the officer was extreamly polite and professional wich im sure we all appreciate.  Saw the box on the side of the eat when he approaced and asked right away about weapons in the vehicle.  I told him about that one and the one i had on my hip.  No silly comments about dont touch yours and i wont touch mine or anything like that.  Looked at my permit handed back to me then went to his vehicle to run my information.  Still got the ticket but i cant complain about that because it's my fault i was speeding not his.  End of the day i still have a wonderfull new pistol and i learned to pay more attention when going through that area.  I was on my way back from paris tn to clarksville on 79.  For those of you who drive it know there are a lot of speed limit changes.

Hate to hear about the ticket. Glad the encounter went well though. Hope you enjoy your Pro as much as I do mine.

Is your the 5" M&P Pro or the 4.25" M&P Pro Series?

MAC, It's the 5 inch pro.  I bought it to try out IDPA and was thinking about heading out to MCTS for their steel match but the only thing i have left for reloading components is 90 grain frangibles.  Not sure they would do well at knocking down steel.

I searched for one of those for quite a while to replace the one the ex ran off with.  Gave up and bought one of the 4.25" Pro Series with night sights.  Not the same weapon at all, but I've already done the APEX trigger and am in the middle of a sight change out.  If I could find ANY magazines, I'd be good to go.

 

All in all, I've been really happy with the M&P, but it will take a while for me to be comfortable switching over full time from my G34.

 

You should get some really good performance from that 5".  Out of the box, they are great sport guns.

I am using that same logic to get a Trojan in 9mm to try ESP......use my Glock will work for ESP but I need an excuse to get a new toy :D

 

I think you will like like it, you might even like it better than your full size. I know I prefer my 34 to a 17 or a 19 just something about the balance. The few M&Ps I have handled had that same "feel" to them.
