    S&W needs to make this one w/o manual safety just like the rest of the M&P line.
    I'm sure it will be removable just like the standard m&p if it bugs you that bad... Just a though

    Question

    With the extended mag, I wonder what the measurement would be compared to a 9c with a FS 17 round mag (with X-grip), which is how I sometimes carry when I don't want to carry a spare mag.

    I've never had any major reliability issue with any recent S&W product I've bought. How many have I bought, do you ask? Well I seem to be a bit of an M&P nut, I have a total of 5 M&P pistols (a .45, and 4 9's [compact, 2 FS, 1 Pro], plus the M&P 15-22 rifle--most of these purchased from G&R Tactical).

    I've had a few MINOR issues with just personal preferences types of stuff, not impacting reliability. I've gotten upgraded APEX trigger kits on a couple of my M&P's, because I prefer the aftermarket trigger. However, to me it's a good thing that folks out there are building aftermarket parts for the M&P, that's the sign of a healthy, growing platform that has a future. I pretty much assume with any stock/factory pistol I buy--whether a 1911, a Glock, and M&P, a CZ, whatever--that I'm going to have to do something to otherwise tune or improve the trigger to my liking.

    I'm definitely interested in one of these and if they prove as reliable as the others, I'd probably sell my compact (not because it's bad, but because I don't need 2 compacts) and go with this slimmer model.

    While I love my M&P's, I dont see how this one does anything more or anything better than the .40c or 9c other than compromise capacity.
    I'm not trading 10+1 or 12+1 for .3 thinner,2 oz lighter and a taller grip frame, I'd rather address my carry system to make the compact possible.
    Come'on guys we're M&P fanboys we're not supposed to act like the glock fanboy's.............let the beatings commence.

    I'm currently using a Walther PPS as a uniform BUG instead of my M&P9c because the difference in thickness and weight is enough for me to notice toward the end of a 10 hr shift.

    If the Shield is thinner as well, I'm all in.

    Wondering if the current APEX offerings will work with this one.

    So safe to assume that normal M&P holsters will not retain this because it is thinner, or it the slide the same?

    I don't think they all will.

    I thought that I'd want one when they were finally released but then I came to the conclusion that I don't have problem concealing my M&P9C when I can carry with my shirt untucked or with a cover garment. For the days that I'm tucked in, (M-F heh) I need something pocketable and this doesn't fit the bill. This will probably only appeal to people that have (probably incorrectly) convinced themselves that they can't conceal a double stack gun or the people that actually have a niche for it. Oh well, more options are a good thing especially if it competes in a market filled with less than stellar options.

    I wonder if the trigger system is completely different than the current M&Ps.
