So last week I'm at the department range doing my bi-annual requal. I was one of the lucky few they picked to do the advanced tactics course that day (it was awesome btw). Since we were a small group we got to BS with the instructors much more than we normally would have. While talking about how some people shoot poorly because they have a gun that doesn't fit them right we were told that the department will very soon be adopting the M&P9 as a service weapon. That's right, the NYPD is going M&P. S&W won't be making the 5946, or any 3rd Gens I guess, much longer. The M&P9c will also be an authorized off duty. The instructors we were speaking to really like the idea of the changeable backstrap, but otherwise didn't seem too enamored with the gun. I hope the NYPD doesn't ruin it like they did with the Glock and Sig so I can pick one up cheap from the Equipment Section as a fun gun, I have no intention of dumping my 5946. I'm sure Smith & Wesson is thrilled about scoring that contract.
