My friend has one of these. I'm former military and he's current a green beret. We both HEAVILY favored this over the glock on the range. Much smoother and more accurate.
I bought a M&P 40 from a pawn shop friday new in the box for $400 he had it a while and couldnt sell it so i haggled them a little. Love this thing went shooting yesterday and the 40 is such a nice caliber. First full size handgun don't regret it at all.
went to my local gun and pawn shop they had one of these with an apex tactical flat faced trigger and wow that trigger made all the difference and the gun felt like a dream. they were asking $625 so I went home and instantly bought a police trade in w/3 mags and the S&W box and ordered an apex trigger all for $450. it's coming I'm tomorrow and I can't wait.
Why does everybody compare every damn gun in existence to a Glock? 😂😂😂 I was gonna buy a Moss 500 but the trigger pull wasnt as good as a Glock so I changed my mind.
Just sold my Glock to buy another M&P...love it! I especially like them because of the partnership with Crimson Trace! Nothing better than an integrated laser grip.
I was pre-shopping for a new pistol today. I handled FNH, Baretta, Glock, Springfield, Ruger, Sig and the M&P. This M&P was by far my favorite. It just feels so good in your hand. I could not get over how it felt in my hand. It just blew me away. The trigger didn't seem mushy to me but we are all different. After handling all those guns I was most impressed with the M&P and the pricing was $529. It will be my next pistol.
I have owned several glocks since the 90's in 9mm, 10mm & 45 acp. About 2 years ago I wanted to try something different so I purchased a M&P 9mm. Ran a few mags through it, within a month I sold my two current glocks 9 & 45 and purchased another M&P 9 and M&P 45. I have a friend that will buy nothing but glock and wants to argue all of the time about nothing beats a glock. I have ran thousand of rounds through glocks and now M&P, I will not say that a M&P is more durable but I will say that it matches the glock durability but with much more comfort and better accuracy. I know, glock glock glock! But there is a reason that many law enforcement dept are switching to M&P. There is also a good reason why the M&P is on the top of the list for the US military new service pistol! Why do people think the gen 4 glock has a steel guide rod? The M&P! Glock was having some guide rods melt and saw their competition polymer gun was running steel guy rods. I am not a glock hater, had several over many years. But facts are the M&P will hold it's own against glock any day. And where is Smith & Wesson made?
A few weeks ago I purchased a M&P 9c for carry. Cleaned and greased out of box and took it to range, unbelievable how it shoots! Shoots as well as the full size M&P and groups as tight as full size M&P. My wife shot the 9c, after 3 mags she decided to replace her carry gun with a M&P 9c. So we went to get her one and I got another one. I was carrying a Springfield XDS 9 for the narrow width carry which is a good shooting pistol, but after shooting the M&P 9c the XDS carry had to be replaced. The friend wanted to get in another pissing match a few days ago about the glock but the funny thing I had to remind him of is he has never fired a M&P. He will bad mouth everything but a glock but has fired very few guns, probably fired
I bought an M&P .40 when I started the Police academy back in 2012. I absolutely love it. It's reliable and feels great in my hands. Mine has the ambidextrous thumb safety. I use it as my off Duty now. I highly recommend getting one if you have the chance. Its a great pistol.
I own (3) FS M&P's, all .40 caliber. A 2.0 and (2) 1.0's. The 1.0's are LE trade ins. I like them all equally. I have a .357 SIG barrel and a .40 to 9mm conversion barrel for the 1.0's.
I will say that I tried out the PPQ and it is a good gun, I almost went with it when looking for a .40 caliber pistol but in the end the M&P felt better and had a higher capacity mag
Same as always, I've owned several 40's before, just never really saw a need for the caliber, but with the ammo situation being what it is, its a good caliber to have
Well if its a conversion barrel then it just drops right in, but u can't put a regular replacement 9mm barrel in a 40 caliber gun because the extractors are in different places so a 40 cal gun won't reliably eject 9mm spent shell casings if u use a regular 9mm barrel because the extractor won't catch he edge of the casing. The conversion barrel on the other hand offsets the bore and chamber just slightly, which is just enuff to allow the extractor to catch the 9mm shells to eject them
Well it can be done but I wouldn't rely on it for self defense or home defense with a factory 9mm barrel because the 40 and 9mm have different extractors in different places on the frame and a 40 to 9mm conversion barrel offsets the bore and chamber slightly so that it reliably extracts spent casings, whereas a factory barrel doesn't do that. The 357 sig barrel does drop right in though because the casing of the rounds are the same size
I strongly agree. I've shot a few Glocks, and I have to say that I wasn't terribly impressed. I mean, it shot well and handled well, but was just not comfortable for my hand. I grabbed the M&P and instantly loved it. Rented one to shoot and bought one the same day. Fits my hand perfectly, and I love it. Can't wait to get my carry permit for it.
People really need to stop declaring new polymer pistols "Glock killers" it's just getting silly. I love the M&P platform, it's awesome and really well done. I'm also a huge Glock fan. They are both great platforms.
For me it definitely was a Glock killer. I still have my Glock 22, but I have not shot it since I bought a M&P .40. For my daily concealed carry, I bought a M&P SHIELD 9mm. Nicest handguns ever! :)
I just bought mine here in Vegas for $380 out of the store. I wanted a glock 30 but this little gem caught my eye and it was in my price range. After seeing this video I can't wait to try her out.
I bought the exact package last year online with night sights for $549. First handgun. I relied on reviews on youtube to make my choice and after 300rds. I think it was a wise one. Thanks for letting me know my trigger is a little spongy I would have never known that.
I own both, G23 Gen4 and M&P9 and love them both. The only thing that bothers me on a Glock is when you have full magazine that first round is harder to chamber, kinda makes me think if +1 would be a good idea to carry. I do agree on the trigger tho, I wish M&P had a better reset but its not a big deal.
I just picked up a M&P Vtac 9mm that was manufactured on 2-19-2013. And it has a nice crisp trigger with aGlock reset. It is amazing so watch out for the newer trigger you will love it.
Just picked this gun up at a gun show for $300. Terrific deal. It may have been carried by an LEO but if it was, he didn't fire it hardly at all. It looked brand spankin' new.
I am a former trooper with the Iowa State Patrol, from the revolver days. The ISP converted to autos, first the S&W Mod. 4046, then the S&W M&P. They traded in their M&Ps and re-issued Glock .40 cals ! I really gotta scratch my head on that !! Anyway, I have an as-new ex-ISP M&P and I love it ! x296 ISP.
I have a full size M&P 40 with well over 1000 rounds through and never had an issue. I carry an M&P compact 40 and also love it. I had an M&P 15 but sold it. I would love to get another one of those.
I love my baby G26, my man is more of a s&w type of guy so for Xmas I got him one of these S&WMP40's. He loves it and he loves me just a little more and I couldn't be happier for him =)
Well the M&P and Sig are two different animals ........ I have a 228 and the trigger is very different than the M&P40 but the M&P isn't a light trigger unless u keep your Sig decocked in double action and thats what your comfortable with but of course after the first shot you're back to single action mode which is actually lighter than the M&P trigger
I just got my pistol permit and tried to buy one of these..my state only allows 10 rounds(nyc) and they only had Leo mags for the s&w. left with a glock 22...still happy
I know this video is old. I have the 2.0 40 caliber. The only complaint that i have is has a curved trigger. All my other M and P has straight triggers. The first firearm that i ever bought was a smith 40 caliber back in 2001. I still have it today.
That sucks, u should send it back, if its having that many problems then S&W will usually just send u another one, thats one of the best things about S&W, they have a long history of backing their products
Well I do admit that the trigger is the only downside compared to the Glock. Now just as a trigger on its own its absolutely fine but when u have a Glock to compare it to, its noticable
M&P line has been placing new triggers in thier guns. Lile the trigger in the S&w shield. They are great. Or you can just do as I did and go for the pro with a comp trigger and its as smooth as butter
Yeah it can definitely be better, they have improved the reset in the newer models but I wish they'd rework the trigger. Not that its a horrible trigger, but when u compare it to the Glock, which is there main competition, its just not as good
I don't know about burying for years, but they've been shot underwater, filled with sand, mud and small gravel and fired and I've seen them dragged behind a vehicle for a mile then shot and in all that, they never skipped a beat. They are a copy of a Glock in many ways, S&W made them to directly compete with the Glock and in doing so they had to make it just as durable and reliable since thats why people buy Glocks. S&W simply took the design and added some nicer features to it
I got the last one at the nearest cabelas in the range and carry package FDE and black. the package was supposed to be 600$ and contain a holster, mag holder and 3 mags. The Kit was missing a mag and the holster so I got the gun for 400$ sweet deal . The gun is awesome and probably the softest shooting .40 i've tried. It feels like it was made for my hand I love it.
Picked up the M&P .40 range kit for $670, just the gun alone was $619 at my only gun store in town so it made sense to spend the extra cash. I all so live in Canada where everything is more pricey compared to the States fyi.
Now that would be a hell of a pistol. It wouldn't take much, they already have the machining for the 45 model so the frames would be the same, just rework the slide and adjust the extractor and slap in a new barrel
I have had mine for almost a year now, I instantly upgraded the trigger to an APEX triggger and had some night sights put on as well. Cost me $800 ish out the door. $600 for the gun, $100 each for trigger and sights. I have shot glocks for that is what my department issues but I will never go back from M&P. Great video.
Today in 10-2018, they can be had for $249 with one mag out of LE service. The lifetime warranty is awesome and I have tested it. Service is divine. I may buy ten of these and stock up!
Matt, I used to have this gun and switched for a glock due to the finish. Up here in the Pacific NW I noticed that the M&P rusts really easy on the slide when in the backcountry. Not as easy as the beretta ,but it is still an issue. I have NEVER experienced that with my Glock. If I was still in north Texas this wouldnt be an issue, so I agree this is the best pistol for dry climates.
I tried both when I finally caved to purchase combat Tupperware. I purchased the Glock 23. Even though the trigger is heavier I dint like the hinged trigger. That's the way I describe it. Plus the cost of aftermarket parts are way more money.
I just purchased one 2 weeks ago. I love the way it feels in the hand. The ergonomics, size and weight are awesome. I don't feel the .40 has a kick much more than the 9mm. Sure you can tell you are shooting a bigger round but after just 2 weeks of shooting it I can shoot just as quick and on target as my 9mm. Plus it just looks better than the Glock. Glocks are great guns but I love this more. Good video. A lot of folks seems so angry when they talk about the guns they love. Good honest video.
I'm with you on this. I have a good number of both, and I like the M&P better. Now I just need to convince S&W to make the M&P in 10mm!!! Great job, Matt
I personally bought this specific model for my first pick ever. a previously shot s&w m&p 40 pro series for $450 while a new not fired same exaxt model for $750... The used one has not stopped shooting or ever jams on me personally i shoot around 150 rounds every time i visit range my barrels are all hot and this is by far the best weight distribution and longer handle with 2 mags and two grips and loads of police training rounds you cant go wrong wrong
Just got mine today and I'm in love! I was going to get a glock 22 but I couldn't pass up a gun that was basically brand new for 300 bucks. Guy bought it and put two mags through it only to realize he had gotten the wrong gun lol he wanted the 5 inch and got the 4.25
I carry one like this at work, it is indeed a reliable, a bit heavier than a glock but it is a fantastic gun. there is not a lot of after market parts for it comparing to glock but it shoots great.
I just purchased this gun, luckily I got to get it at the Exchange on base got it for 445.00. I had actually went in for the Smith & Wesson Shield .40, they were out. I liked the feel of this one and at that price I took it home. Can't wait to shoot it this weekend, if I can keep it away from husband.
I do agree with your statement though. For defense, 40 or 357 sig will do the job fine. But for cheaper shooting/plinking, dropping a 9mm barrel in will solve the issue.

@Jerzie Folks Yeah sure buddy, I'm pretty sure a Green Beret is a pretty damn good artist
@Jerzie Folks no excuses I own both a Glock 23 Gen 5 and a m&p 2.0 and Im more accurate with my m&P 2.0🤷🏽♂️
@Jerzie Folks You are 100% right I carry my Glock more than I carry my m&P but I can say the M&P for the money is a better quality hammer.
Hog wash hog wash hog wash !
Both are great. I have the 2.0 model and it and my Glock 22 are my favorite .40 cal guns
I bought a M&P 40 from a pawn shop friday new in the box for $400 he had it a while and couldnt sell it so i haggled them a little. Love this thing went shooting yesterday and the 40 is such a nice caliber. First full size handgun don't regret it at all.
You just said exactly the same thing I was going to say about pawn shop and haggled and the same price LMFAO
I've owned 2 of them in the last 6 years and never had a problem with either of them
went to my local gun and pawn shop they had one of these with an apex tactical flat faced trigger and wow that trigger made all the difference and the gun felt like a dream. they were asking $625 so I went home and instantly bought a police trade in w/3 mags and the S&W box and ordered an apex trigger all for $450. it's coming I'm tomorrow and I can't wait.
Why does everybody compare every damn gun in existence to a Glock? 😂😂😂 I was gonna buy a Moss 500 but the trigger pull wasnt as good as a Glock so I changed my mind.
The Glock is the gold standard of all guns made post 1980s
Because glock is the most reliable and standard pistol. More glocks are carried and used for duty than any other pistol
Just sold my Glock to buy another M&P...love it! I especially like them because of the partnership with Crimson Trace! Nothing better than an integrated laser grip.
Same here. I sold all three of my glocks and replaced with M&Ps
I was pre-shopping for a new pistol today. I handled FNH, Baretta, Glock, Springfield, Ruger, Sig and the M&P. This M&P was by far my favorite. It just feels so good in your hand.

Chris M I'd have to say your friend is a stubborn idiot! Key term...IDIOT. G'luck!

Chris M I had a Glock loyal friend that would always argue that his Glock was better than my m&p.........so I shot him.......m&p wins!!!!!!!!!!
Chris M Springfield Armory xd pistols are also better than the Glocks and probably the M&P Smithys too :)
Chris M so no 40 cal guns?
I bought an M&P .40 when I started the Police academy back in 2012. I absolutely love it. It's reliable and feels great in my hands. Mine has the ambidextrous thumb safety. I use it as my off Duty now. I highly recommend getting one if you have the chance. Its a great pistol.
I have an M&P 40 & I love it. To me it looks & feels way better than a glock. I'm going to buy another one so I can carry two lol
Can it take extended mags?
Cue ball i think 7 rounds is enough
Landon Parsons 4 honestly
It takes a 25rd pro mag , but mines fits 30rds
I own (3) FS M&P's, all .40 caliber. A 2.0 and (2) 1.0's. The 1.0's are LE trade ins. I like them all equally. I have a .357 SIG barrel and a .40 to 9mm conversion barrel for the 1.0's.
I will say that I tried out the PPQ and it is a good gun, I almost went with it when looking for a .40 caliber pistol but in the end the M&P felt better and had a higher capacity mag

I went ahead and bought the Apex trigger upgrade and I installed it myself. Now my gun is perfect
Rick what website you ordered from
People really need to stop declaring new polymer pistols "Glock killers" it's just getting silly. I love the M&P platform, it's awesome and really well done. I'm also a huge Glock fan. They are both great platforms.
I absolutely agree ..... I love my Glocks, but the M& is just a favorite of mine
For me it definitely was a Glock killer. I still have my Glock 22, but I have not shot it since I bought a M&P .40. For my daily concealed carry, I bought a M&P SHIELD 9mm. Nicest handguns ever! :)
i have memories witht the smithandwesson i would take lives with that bitch sadly i sold it
I just bought mine here in Vegas for $380 out of the store. I wanted a glock 30 but this little gem caught my eye and it was in my price range. After seeing this video I can't wait to try her out.
you hit the nail on the head in the way it feels , I love the feel of the 1911 and this feels right to me in my hand over other I have
I bought the exact package last year online with night sights for $549.
First handgun. I relied on reviews on youtube to make my choice and after 300rds. I think it was a wise one. Thanks for letting me know my trigger is a little spongy I would have never known that.
I own both, G23 Gen4 and M&P9 and love them both. The only thing that bothers me on a Glock is when you have full magazine that first round is harder to chamber, kinda makes me think if +1 would be a good idea to carry. I do agree on the trigger tho, I wish M&P had a better reset but its not a big deal.
No worries brother. Thanks 4 watching
Thanks 4 watching brother
I got the m&p 40 about 7 years ago and love it. Since then I have had the 9mm pro series and 9mm shield and love them all.
I just picked up a M&P Vtac 9mm that was manufactured on 2-19-2013. And it has a nice crisp trigger with aGlock reset. It is amazing so watch out for the newer trigger you will love it.
Glad ya liked it, thanks 4 watching
I actually have an older video comparing Glocks and M&P's back when I had my last M&P
What is the best ammo to use for a Smith and Wesson M&P 40
Just picked this gun up at a gun show for $300. Terrific deal. It may have been carried by an LEO but if it was, he didn't fire it hardly at all. It looked brand spankin' new.
I am a former trooper with the Iowa State Patrol, from the revolver days. The ISP converted to autos, first the S&W Mod. 4046, then the S&W M&P. They traded in their M&Ps and re-issued Glock .40 cals ! I really gotta scratch my head on that !! Anyway, I have an as-new ex-ISP M&P and I love it ! x296 ISP.
Glad the vid helped brother, thanks 4 watching
Got mine for 6 bills with tax and all the glocks at the same store were running about 50-100 bucks more. I like glocks but i like my m&p more.
I have a full size M&P 40 with well over 1000 rounds through and never had an issue. I carry an M&P compact 40 and also love it. I had an M&P 15 but sold it. I would love to get another one of those.
Thanks 4 watching
Yeah this one has a newer trigger and a much better reset than he older models had but still not as crisp as the Glock triggers
Yeah I'm trying to find one but they're hard to find in stock
I love my baby G26, my man is more of a s&w type of guy so for Xmas I got him one of these S&WMP40's. He loves it and he loves me just a little more and I couldn't be happier for him =)
You can put an apex trigger on them, I've done it before but I don't think its a necessity
Well the M&P and Sig are two different animals ........ I have a 228 and the trigger is very different than the M&P40 but the M&P isn't a light trigger unless u keep your Sig decocked in double action and thats what your comfortable with but of course after the first shot you're back to single action mode which is actually lighter than the M&P trigger
I wouldn't buy a Glock if they were cheaper than a M&P pistol! Im like you, I love each and every M&P I own!
No, they used to pay them for the Sigma series but they made changes to the design so that it didn't infringe on Glock's copyright
Yeah I am too, I own 2 Glocks right now and I love 'em, but the M&P is just a personal favorite for me, its just a personal thing
That is correct, I've been trying to get the 357 sig barrel for mine but they're out of stock everywhere at the moment
Yeah they're hard to find right now
Thanks, glad ya liked it
I just got my pistol permit and tried to buy one of these..my state only allows 10 rounds(nyc) and they only had Leo mags for the s&w. left with a glock 22...still happy
I know this video is old. I have the 2.0 40 caliber. The only complaint that i have is has a curved trigger. All my other M and P has straight triggers. The first firearm that i ever bought was a smith 40 caliber back in 2001. I still have it today.
That sucks, u should send it back, if its having that many problems then S&W will usually just send u another one, thats one of the best things about S&W, they have a long history of backing their products
Very nice revolver, Ruger does revolvers very well and 44 mag is a hell of a round even though it is a bit expensive to stock up on.
I''ve got a couple of s&w's and love them.
Yeah it does, my last M&P smoothed out nice after about 500 rounds
They make all the standard full sized and compact models with or without safeties
I agree with you on that. That was the point that I was trying to make as well as yanking your chain on the 9mm thing. I have 9mm's and .40's also.
But Hickok 45 says Glock's can split the atom! Can an M&P do that? I hate fan boys. Great vid.
Well I do admit that the trigger is the only downside compared to the Glock. Now just as a trigger on its own its absolutely fine but when u have a Glock to compare it to, its noticable
you know i agree, in fact traded my glock 22 for the compact, love it! How is .40 treating you?
M&P line has been placing new triggers in thier guns. Lile the trigger in the S&w shield. They are great. Or you can just do as I did and go for the pro with a comp trigger and its as smooth as butter
Yeah it can definitely be better, they have improved the reset in the newer models but I wish they'd rework the trigger. Not that its a horrible trigger, but when u compare it to the Glock, which is there main competition, its just not as good
Yup, I agree with
I don't know about burying for years, but they've been shot underwater, filled with sand, mud and small gravel and fired and I've seen them dragged behind a vehicle for a mile then shot and in all that, they never skipped a beat. They are a copy of a Glock in many ways, S&W made them to directly compete with the Glock and in doing so they had to make it just as durable and reliable since thats why people buy Glocks. S&W simply took the design and added some nicer features to it
I got the last one at the nearest cabelas in the range and carry package FDE and black. the package was supposed to be 600$ and contain a holster, mag holder and 3 mags. The Kit was missing a mag and the holster so I got the gun for 400$ sweet deal . The gun is awesome and probably the softest shooting .40 i've tried. It feels like it was made for my hand I love it.
I have this Pistol in .40 cal. and its one of my favorites that grip feel is amazing.
Picked up the M&P .40 range kit for $670, just the gun alone was $619 at my only gun store in town so it made sense to spend the extra cash. I all so live in Canada where everything is more pricey compared to the States fyi.
Its all a matter of opinion. I love me Glocks too, thats why I own 'em but the M&P is just a personal favorite
Well its definitely worth taking a look at
Not really, I've just seen that its good to have that base covered as far as caliber goes
Now that would be a hell of a pistol. It wouldn't take much, they already have the machining for the 45 model so the frames would be the same, just rework the slide and adjust the extractor and slap in a new barrel
I have had mine for almost a year now, I instantly upgraded the trigger to an APEX triggger and had some night sights put on as well. Cost me $800 ish out the door. $600 for the gun, $100 each for trigger and sights. I have shot glocks for that is what my department issues but I will never go back from M&P. Great video.
Today in 10-2018, they can be had for $249 with one mag out of LE service. The lifetime warranty is awesome and I have tested it. Service is divine. I may buy ten of these and stock up!
Mine is GREAT! No issues, has run as well as any glock I've had. completely decked out too, hardly anything stock.
Matt, I used to have this gun and switched for a glock due to the finish. Up here in the Pacific NW I noticed that the M&P rusts really easy on the slide when in the backcountry. Not as easy as the beretta ,but it is still an issue. I have NEVER experienced that with my Glock. If I was still in north Texas this wouldnt be an issue, so I agree this is the best pistol for dry climates.
I'm used to it, I'e owned several other 40 caliber pistols before, I just stopped buying them a few years ago
After getting my M&P-22LR, I'm almost wishing I had went with the M&P .357Sig
Duh
I tried both when I finally caved to purchase combat Tupperware. I purchased the Glock 23. Even though the trigger is heavier I dint like the hinged trigger. That's the way I describe it. Plus the cost of aftermarket parts are way more money.
Yup, done many mods to these guns and I love every bit of 'em
Mine didn't come with a frame safety
I just purchased one 2 weeks ago. I love the way it feels in the hand. The ergonomics, size and weight are awesome. I don't feel the .40 has a kick much more than the 9mm. Sure you can tell you are shooting a bigger round but after just 2 weeks of shooting it I can shoot just as quick and on target as my 9mm.
Plus it just looks better than the Glock. Glocks are great guns but I love this more.
Good video. A lot of folks seems so angry when they talk about the guns they love. Good honest video.
I agree with you it definitely does not have as much kick as a 9 mm
Yeah I think there is room for both in this world, I love my Glock but the M&P is just a personal favorite
Now that is actually true, something people don't really know
The problem you will have is the extractor may not grab the brass for 9mm so reliability goes right out the window.
I'm with you on this. I have a good number of both, and I like the M&P better. Now I just need to convince S&W to make the M&P in 10mm!!! Great job, Matt
Yeah its worth trying out
I personally bought this specific model for my first pick ever. a previously shot s&w m&p 40 pro series for $450 while a new not fired same exaxt model for $750... The used one has not stopped shooting or ever jams on me personally i shoot around 150 rounds every time i visit range my barrels are all hot and this is by far the best weight distribution and longer handle with 2 mags and two grips and loads of police training rounds you cant go wrong wrong
Yeah it smoothes out after awhile
Yeah I like the compact series, the first M&P I owned was a compact 9mm
Just got mine today and I'm in love! I was going to get a glock 22 but I couldn't pass up a gun that was basically brand new for 300 bucks. Guy bought it and put two mags through it only to realize he had gotten the wrong gun lol he wanted the 5 inch and got the 4.25
I'm strongly considering one of these as my first handgun, I own an M&P 15 and i LOVE it!
Thanks for the overview. I love mine. It rapidly moved up the chart in my collection as one of my favorites.
They got them at my academy for 499.99 Thinking bout picking me up one. Already have a 38. 357 and 9mm. Thinking bout going 40. Nice clean video!
I carry one like this at work, it is indeed a reliable, a bit heavier than a glock but it is a fantastic gun. there is not a lot of after market parts for it comparing to glock but it shoots great.
Yeah everybody is different, I love both personally
I just purchased this gun, luckily I got to get it at the Exchange on base got it for 445.00. I had actually went in for the Smith & Wesson Shield .40, they were out. I liked the feel of this one and at that price I took it home. Can't wait to shoot it this weekend, if I can keep it away from husband.
I bought it at Academy Sports here in Texas
I do agree with your statement though. For defense, 40 or 357 sig will do the job fine. But for cheaper shooting/plinking, dropping a 9mm barrel in will solve the issue.
Yeah u can get conversion barrels
I suggest you read the manual-------- the part about take down and moving the small arm down and out of the way before removing slide
Yup, thats how I feel too
Who dared to say that? This thing has a much in common with a Sigma as a Turtle has in common M&M.
