As an M&P owner, congratulations! S&W got this platform right. Nice addition.  Have you explored the grips? Or found the right combo?

As a lefty with large hands, being able to change to the Med. grip, and swap the mag release to the "other" side, plus the grip is what sold me, makes the M&P a great package. And not as ugly as a Glock or XD.... ::)

Damn thing shoots everything.

Good get.

I have large hands but I like the medium grip the most. The true test will be at the range this weekend though.  ;D

They are really nice. Miss the one we owned. Fired really well and was accurate.

Well I ran about 200 rounds through the M&P9 today at Dade City Rod & Gun Club & I gotta say it's AWESOME!!!!! ;D The trigger reset could be a little more noticeable but once I got used to it I wasn't bothered. For a gun I bought brand new for $453.00 (with no sales tax & free shipping) I could not be happier & I might even pick up the compact version down the road. I also saw some sort of fancy little Kel-Tec & a Sig P229 have at lest 5 malfunctions(FTF) each(maybe 10-15 on the Sig) but I attribute it to user errors of some sort or another. My jaw hit the ground when I watched these guys having nothing but problem after problem with their pistols.
