M&P9 Fans?

[sigbrown1297]

So I'm working on a cerakote job on a M&P 9 for a TGOer tonight.  I've pretty much only had Glocks and H&Ks.  But after holding the M&P9, I think I NEED one now….  How do you guys like yours?  Any complaints?

I only have a Shield in 9, but I have in 40 an M&P compact, M&P full size, and 5" M&P Pro. I love them all. The full size was my first, then the Shield, then the Pro, then the compact.

I shoot the Pro most often and use it for my attempts at IDPA and 3 Gun. However, I am most impressed by the Shield; it never ceases to amaze me how such a small gun can shoot so well, and it has the best trigger of the bunch. I wish Smith would just put that trigger in the rest of the M&P line!

I am a fan, for sure. Excellent value, ergonomics, and style, IMHO. Someday I will APEX out most of my M&P family.

Getcha one! Or four!

I had an M&P9 for awhile. Great pistol. Even better with Apex parts

^What he said. After holding the M&P9 for the first time, I knew it was going to be mine. I read enough threads around the interwebs to know the trigger was the only issue. Ordered the APEX kit before I even picked up the gun.

I have one...plus a 9 Long and a .45 which I carry. Great little pistolas....all of them.

[dralarms]

They are great guns. I have a 40c, a 40, a 45c. At one time I had a fde 45, 9c.

I have .a .45 FS and .45 Compact; a 9mm Pro, FS, and Compact; a .22; and a Shield 9.  I'm a committed admirer of the M&P. No other semiauto fits my hand as well.   Don't even own any Glocks any more.  I was thinking about putting some Apex parts in mine but you'd be surprised at how smooth the triggers get after about 3,000 rounds.

 

Cheers,

Whisper

the trigger didn't feel that bad on the one I'm working on.  Assuming its stock.  Well comparing it to a stock Glock trigger.  I'll have to look into the APEX kit.

[dralarms]

It's better than glock stock, but the apex kit make it smoooooth and a crisp break.

[SlapChopDonkey]

I have a core with apex parts that is my best shooting pistol. If only it carried as well as my g19.

[sigbrown1297]

I don't want to give this back :shake:

Dang, I should have sent in my mags and backstrap and chose that color. That's tough.

[felinesNfreedom]

I am glad you gave it back! I love the cerakote job it's pretty amazing. The trigger is stock but i think I am going to put the apex in after doing a little research on it. Jonathan did a great job on the coating and an amazing turn around time. Now I hopefully get to give him my AK to cerakote in the near future. Thank you again. 

[dralarms]

Yea, it looks like he is fixin to be busy.

I love my M&P VTAC. It's a sweet shooter for sure. I shot my first one when S&W did an event at a local shop/range. The rep let me shoot a VTAC with 5-6 rounds in it and I new I'd have one before to long. Bought mine off a great TGOer who was moving back to Glocks for whatever reason.

All my M&P’s are .40S&W; I feel left out.

[musicman]

I'm with you, Buddy! ('cept my Shield) You're not alone!

[mikegideon]

Don't feel left out. They have other calibers down at the gun store.

I didn’t see any; maybe they were in the women’s section.

Uh... you didn't say 45. .40 may be butch girlie, but it's still girlie :)

[JWinTN]

Get over on Todd Green's forum and do a little reading on the M&P 9FS. If you're lucky, you can get one, fill it with Apex parts, get a fitted barrel, and you might end up with one that is accurate.

I have shot a full-size 40 and 45 M&P; I could not warm p to the trigger. For some weird reason the Shield's trigger is so much better than a regular m&p. It really sucks because I am a huge S&W fan. I do carry a Shield daily.

I do agree that the standard trigger on the M&P fullsize is a bit different than that of the Shield, but I don't find it to bother me. Of course I do tend to shoot the Vtac version more than the regular M&P9.

Whatever you do.........never ever ever shoot or handle a M&P pro with APEX Comp trigger......your doomed if ya do!
