I'm trading my .45 off Friday and I already sold my .40 The .40 I just didn't care much for, and the .45 is great but I prefer the G21SF.
My M&P 9mm w/ Trijicon Novak night sights. This is the only 9mm I carry now days.

Guess I'm the only person on the planet who prefers the large back strap.

i've since replaced the rear sight with a warren, and front with a dawson precision. MUCH better sight picture compared to the old one (for me).

They aren't all his, but he brainwashed all of us into buying them. :D
this past sunday. I put 100 rounds through it right after buying it. Excellent accuracy. Very comfortable to carry. An Extremely awesome weapon! I highly recommend you buy one. My gun range/store cant keep em in stock.:D
It's a crappy pic but here's my M&P along with my AR.

gotm4,
Can you give us the specs on that M&P? :D
M&P9: Warren Tactical rear sight, Speed Shooter Specialties .100" fiber front sight, Eric Wesselman grip tape (for Glock but modified to fit), Glockmeister captured stainless guide rod (for a Glock 17) with a 15lb Glock 17 ISMI recoil spring, and a yours truly 4.5lb trigger job with shortened reset.
I figured I might as well throw a pic of mine in here to.

Very nice Josh!!!
No we don't have Warren M&P sight in stock yet (Scott W didn't have them available yet). If you come to the Fredericksburg USPSA match tomorrow I'm pretty sure Scott Warren will be there and may have some for sale. I just bought a set of Warren sights for my wifes M&P on Sunday last week at Blackwater.
Just got here today...thanks to Bud's Gun Shop on the good price, S&W on the sweet promo deal, and extra special thanks to Dan Burwell.

Just picked mine up. Will be getting acquainted this weekend, taking pics, hopefully a range trip, etc. Shall report back with impressions.
I expect I'll at least want to replace the rear sight at some point (three-dots get me confused). Any recommendations appreciated. Would need something user-installable (no special pusher or anything needed).
Will of course need a good holster too.:D
ETA: Oh yeah, I also got the form for the rebate for $50 and two free mags. This seems like a surprisingly good deal.
This pic went under the "Everything Else Picture Thread" before there was an M&P picture thread. :) Still diggin' my M&P.
So I have to ask- those of you with 45s, did you want or consider the safety version?
Would anyone want the safety version?
Is the 45 the same size as the full size 9mm?
Sorry but tonight I'm on a real serious M&P kick...
No. Switched from 1911's to Glocks a few years ago, and was used to running without a manula safety. Wanted to keep things the same when I went to M&P's.
For someone who is used to running a 1911, or wants to run an M&P in addition to a 1911, then the thumb safety keeps the methods of operation prett ymuch the same between the two.Quote:
Would anyone want the safety version?
No. The 45 is a bit larger frame wise, and has a slightly longer slide/barrel.Quote:
Is the 45 the same size as the full size 9mm?

Still smaller than a 1911 in length and grip height though?
Almost identical to a standard fullsize 1911 all the way around. As I understand it, S&W did this on purpose, and wisely so.
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 ! ! ! :eek: :eek: :eek:
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". :D
OK, since this is supposed to be a photo thread.....
.....here's mine alongside his big bro.
