A couple of weeks ago I traded my Kahr CW40 for a Springfield 1911 GI .45 compact. I shot the Springfield 55 times and by the time I was done shooting my hand was bleeding. I couldn't hit anything with that Springfield so I decided to get rid of it. I traded it straight up for a M&P9c. I have a full size M&P9 and I absolutely love it, and I like the compact a lot too. I put 72 rounds through it yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I had one problem though, it didn't eject one round after it fired. I don't exactly what happened, but I'm not worried because I know pistols usually need to be broke in. I did oil it good before I shot it too. Other than that though, I love it. Here's a picture of it and my full size.
