M&P thoughts...

**Hawkeye** · 03-06-07, 13:16

Just wanted to post a few thoughts on my M&P 9. I ran it in an PSD weapons class this past weekend. Round count was only about 400 rounds (had about 250 through it already). While not a lot of rounds, the gun ran flawlessly with one exception. Early on I had a failure to feed/semi double feed. I am 100% convinced though that it was the ammo, as it was flat nosed 9mm FMJ that had a very short overall length. I didnt care for it much. Other than that, it ran great. Accuracy was not an issue. I did have to work a little in the beginning to get used to the trigger reset and short stroked it a few times, but was running it fine in short order. I am probably going to get with Dan Burwell about remedying that issue.
The 10-8 rear sight in conjunction with the factory front sight was just amazing. Faster than I believed it to be, and accuracy was amazing to me at the speed for which I could run it. Definitely a good combo.

That's interesting. Our agency is in the process of acquiring a sidearm and it's announced the specs of the pistol. It reads like a recipe for the M&P 9. Right down to the magazine safety! I've shot the pistol at the range and was quite pleased with it. My personal is a H&K USP40 and because of this I've taken to the stock trigger of the M&P. However, our agency spec'd an 8-12 lbs. trigger pull with the issue piece and to be carried in a level 3 retention holster.

You didnt read my post in the other thread??? Apparently, Krylon and Militec-1 do NOT like each other. I'll be remedying the issue soon enough though. Just havent had a chance to sit down and re-do it.

I really like the look and feel of the M&P and am in the market for a new sidearm.
The questions I have about it are, is the chamber more supported than a glock? The reason I ask, is that I intend on reloading for it and want to make sure that I am not going to run into the case bulge problem that I hear about on glocks. Also, I intend on shooting lead cast bullets for practice. Is there any rifling issues like the glocks have with excessive leading?

Thank you for any advise and comments and thank you all for a great forum!

M&P barrels have standard rifling so shooting lead bullets is not an issue like it is with a Glock's polygonal barrel.

No, I did and you called me about it's slide stop lever being sluggish after the removal of the Krylon. I was just ribbin' ya!

You are correct sir. Lack of sleep is taking its toll on me. Got the slide stop running fine though. Must have tweaked it inadvertantly when I had it apart.
