M&P model 990L Question
I just brought home a M&P 990L 9mm smith to see if i like it for ccw from a dealer friend.Does anyone out there have this weapon or is anyone familiar with them as far as being a good choice for ccw? It feels good in my small hand and trigger is smooth but have not fired it yet,still deciding:confused:

Hey Matt,
So this 990L is not in the M&P family correct? The markings on the gun say frame was made in west germany and slide and other parts made in usa in mass.Also there is a walther patent on gun.It's real nice for carry as opposed to my glock 19. |
I have a 990L, 9mm compact and a .40 S&W Full Size. Although I prefer the 9mm compact overall, I would feel confident carrying the .40 full size as a duty or winter carry. I had an M&P 9mm full size and a Glock 30. I may be in the minority, but I prefer the S&W(Walther) 99 series to both the M&P series and Glocks. ALL are solid, reliable weapons and I would carry any one of them without complaint, but have the luxury of picking and choosing favorites. The 990L would serve you well.

Thanks, after some reading I found out that it was not in the M&P family.Not much in reviews to be found on this gun.I was hoping between S&W and walther it would be a good pick.Any others feel this would be a reliable ccw?

For CCW, it's slimmer than most full size high cap 9mm's, so if you are going to carry a full size, it's a good choice. |
There's nothing wrong with the 990L, it's a good modern carry gun. While it is not part of the M&P family, Smith clearly borrowed some design aspects from the SW99 for the M&P. Carry it with confidence.

I have the older S&W99 and a Walther P99QA. Both have been totally reliable with a wide variety of bullet shapes and weights. The S&W 99 has a great trigger and they are surprisingly accurate for a short barreled semi auto. My S&W 99 is more accurate than my M&P9PRO. I also appreciate their unique ambidextrous mag release.
