Why didn't you just buy a .357 Sig Barrel and use the money to buy a different M&P

I have a full size M&P 45 which I like, and it carries well in a Crossbreed IWB holster. I have found that the Glock 32 which I have carried is the right combination of compact size, round capacity, and carry comfort in a Crossbreed or Milt Sparks Summer Special holster, IMHO.

Sold my Kahr PM9 for a Sig P290rs, and then bought a Shield. Both are in my carry rotation. Don't regret selling the Kahr. While it was very light and reliable, I have had issues with the company and their customer service. Carry the Shield more often than the others.
This is NOT my picture, but it shows the Shield compared to the Kahr. The difference is hardly noticable with a good IWB holster.
This pic is my P290rs compared to my Ruger LCR in .357, also in my rotation.

I sold an xd9sc that I loved to buy a Shield .40, and traded my xd40sc for an M&P40 fs for competition. I have officially become an m&p addict. Looking to add the 40c and an m&p revolver to the rotation. Maybe someday I'll have the wallet to get an M&P15 and 15-22.

I haven't dumped other platforms, but I am primarily sticking to Glocks and M&Ps from now on. It's easier to train with one style of trigger.

Gonna be honest, I got rid of my M&P's and went with a Glock 19.
I had a Fullsize 40 with 9 barrel, and a Shield for carry. I ended up getting the best of both some what.
Love the size of a G19, granted the SD9VE has similar dimensions. I also wanted to have spare parts on hand rather than sending a product in for warranty.

I went in the opposite direction. Glock's failure to recognize and fix the brass to the face issue really turned me off. S&W has been listening to the consumer, which is why you see the 9mms with new barrels and the trigger fix. The one knock is lack of mags and that won't be forever. Smith spare parts can be had, not sure why you'd need to use your warranty, but all the power to you, I admittedly shoot Glocks as well as I do M&Ps, but prefer the ergos of the Smith by a large margin.

I've been carrying a 9 shield for a few months, and recently sold off a much sought after (I'm in mass) gen 3 g17 with a bunch of preban mags so that I can get a M&P 45 midsize (which apparently is also much sought after). The G17 just didn't fit my hand, and in fact, I shoot the shield much better. Maybe I'll pick up a 9FS or 9c while I wait for the 45mid to make it's appearance.
Oh and hi everybody @ smith-wessonforum!

I still have my M&Ps but I now carry a Sig P226.I have always preferred a DA/SA over a striker fired pistol.Not selling the M&Ps but don't see using them as my primary anytime soon.

I bought my first M&P, a 45c variant a little over a month ago and have been so impressed with it, I bought another. Followed by two 9c's and a 9F! I sold off a Glock 19, G27, G30SF & G31 in a purge to replace Glocks for M&P's.

That's very odd, usually people move from DA/SA to striker fired. Pretty much every instructor I can think of recommends striker fired, they tend to be easier tools to use for people which ends up equating to improved performance according to hits on target & the timer.

Nothing odd about it and most instructors I know think you should be familiar with all action types.Now if I go back to something other than a DA/SA it will be to one of my 1911s.The reason people like striker fired pistols is that they are for lack of better words too lazy to practice the DA/SA transition and master the DA pull.To quote Ernest Langdon Fear Not The Double Action.And the Military must agree because the main issued side arms are DA/SA Berettas and Sigs.

I had a pretty good mix of pistols from other brands, G26, Sig P238, RIA 1911, XDm 3.8. I sold and traded off all of those and became a S&W whore. M&P FS, compact, Shield, BG380, M&P22 and 637-2. Thinking about picking up a 5906 or maybe a 4006 so I can have an all metal non-revolver in my safe again. Go figure my GF pretty much stole my P238 and XDm, which I don't mind because she loves them and wants to go shooting all the time with me now. For now S&W covers all my shooting needs in the handgun department. I will say that I love my Shield 40 and M&P9c more than any other guns I have owned in the past.

I wish S&W made a DA/SA with a decocker M&P for a CCW type semi-auto. I'd buy it. I really like the DA feature for safety reasons on my CCW gun.

Try to find an old SW99 as I believe that is what you ate looking for if I understand correctly, a striker fired pistol that can operate similarly to a DA/SA firearm. Or better yet, a Walther P99AS as it is pretty much the same gun but looks much better IMHO.

Well here is my last update… I can’t drink this Kool-Aid anymore! I finally got rid of the piece of junk M&P FS 9mm that I purchased almost two years ago. After sending the pistol back to S&W multiple times the accuracy issues were never resolved. I am very disappointed that S&W would make such a piece of junk. I have shot off the shelf Glocks, H&K’s, Walther PPQ’s and several others and they would ALL run circles around this gun. I bid the farewell S&W, you just lost a long time S&W fan because of this over rated junk!

Surrendered my Glock 30SF to get my M&P 40C. I loved that pistol, but as an EDC, it was starting to bother my back at the end of the day. I'm sorry though, you don't get my Beretta 92 FS Police Special or my big 28-2. Some things are just sacred.

I love my G19 and won't part with it, but my Shield gets carried most of the time. It is the perfect carry gun IMO.

The two platforms that are doing it for me now are the M&P's and the Witnesses. I have M&P's and Witnesses in 9mm and 45acp.
I have a couple HK's that I'm not too attached to but they've been tough to sell since the VP9 drastically dropped the anchor point on the HK price tag.

Although I haven't dumped any platforms since I am still pretty new to shooting I thought I really liked the XDm line until I shot them a few times. Now I'm all M&P. I didn't like the feel of a glock either. I have never had a malfunction and am looking to add at least 3 more M&P's to my collection on top on my 9 FS and 9 Shield. Next on my list are a BG .38, 9c and 15 sport.

A bit of a necropost but still relevant I guess. While I have been "thinning the herd" a bit, selling a few things I don't shoot anymore, I have not "dumped" anything because of the M&Ps. However, my Shield 9mms will probably cause me NOT to buy a Glock 43.
I still have and shoot the Glocks in 9 & .45, some 1911s and a range of revolvers.

Nope... I haven't dumped anything to go M&P. But then, I have not "Brand Loyalty" to any company.
There are too many good guns out there to choose just one brand.
The only M&P I like, is the Shield and that's because I can easily Front Pocket carry it.

Sold my last Glock off a few weeks ago, the platform just didn't perform as well for me as M&P does. Especially now that I'm running IDPA with the M&P.

I haven't "dumped" anything for the M&P's, they just feel good in my hands; and every gun I own has "Made in USA" on it somewhere. S&W, Ruger, Browning are the brands that cover my handgun line-up. Started out on Ruger and S&W revolvers and see no reason to use anything else. Guess I'm set in my ways :-)

I have had a few pistols. I had a taurus revolver, a taurus TCP, Raven p-25, Glock 27, Glock 19, Ruger P90. I sold most for a reason or another but I kept the Taurus TCP, which will be sold to go towards an M&P. I still have the G19 and a shield that I sold the Glock 27 for. I love the Glock line but the M&P line is much more affordable and they are comfortable to shoot.

Sorry to break this to you, but most Browning guns are not made in the US. The only guns they make in the US is their Buckmark and 1911-22. That is a recent development. Otherwise all their guns are made in Europe and Japan.
