Well, I must say, I am......just amazed, really.
Took along the G19 and shot it actually first. Several rounds at an IDPA target, double-taps, etc......OK, yeah -- I know what that's like.
Then shot the M&P, and
what a difference ! ! !
I had always just accepted that the G19 was a little snappy. After all, it's a lightweight plastic gun, and at least this particular model in 9mm is less severe than the .40 or .45 models.
But the M&P was actually smooth to the point of being nearly effortless. I don't think I've handled a gun with this kind of feel since my Beretta VERTEC, a much bulkier and heavier design. The difference of the M&P from the G19 reminded me of when you get a brand-new set of really good radial tires on your vehicle.
And I'm really not sure what accounts for such a big difference. Size is no more than 5% greater than the G19, and weight no more than 7%. Can only figure that the superior fit to the hand transfers the force of the shot a lot more efficiently.
Regarding the latter topic, I've got some pics coming that I'll post in a separate thread, hopefully tomorrow.
In the meantime, consider me officially "IN".
