Default First shots down range with new M&P9FS

Picked this baby up Monday after work and finally got a few minutes to run some rounds through it. This is the first hand gun I've owned but it felt real comfortable to shoot. All my shots were at 10 yards today. Looking forward to spending some more time at the range with it before I take my ccw class.

On a side note, anybody here carry a full size in a cloak tuck 3.0? I know a shield would conceal better but I wanted my first hand gun to be a little more shooter friendly.

My husband used to. A Walther PPX. He's a large six-foot seven-inches and he had no issues carrying with the CT.

Nice pistol

I carry a Full size M&P CORE 9mm 5"

I myself rather carrry a full size instead of a compact. With the 5" I have better accuracy at the target at longer distances.

Some times people notice that it's under my shirt because of the out line it leaves under my shirt (being it's a full size) but I wear a size or two bigger shirt to help that.

Quite impressive shooting if you ask me!

I don't want to talk you out of the FS, I also have one and enjoy it a bunch. However, I've found I can shoot my Shield at least as well, if not actually better. My shooting improved when I added Talon grips to both.

No I haven't checked out the 2.0 other then online. All the pics I've seen of them have been solid FDE. I really like the looks of the two tone FDE and black. And $399 shipped to my local store was what got me to "pull the trigger" on buying it.

Thanks! I will have a shield one day for sure. I just found out a friend of mine has one and we plan to do a little shooting this weekend so I'll be able to compare them.

Wonder what Sigmund Freud would have had to say about this slip. They are fun.
