I've had a M&P 9c for about a year now with a crimson laser on it, I have nothing bad to say about it. I also just picked up a M&P Shield 9 Performance Center and I like that much better, I get tighter groups and it's easier to carry. That being said S&W is having a rebate for the next 2 months on Shields, you can pick one up for $245 after rebate from PSA Smith & Wesson MP Shield 9mm

Good Luck
Steve
