M & P 9c Is It Really Practical

[stevegartx]

I ccw all my guns ,I already have M&P 40c love it . I was think about buying another pistol M&P . I been locking at a 9c . So my question is there really practical to buy another compact model . To me seems logtical to me to do so , My better half might not think so . Her statement is ,You have enough guns ,you can only shoot them one at a time .

I get that argument all the time from women when I am about to add to a collection, whether it is another motorcycle, guitar or a gun. Politely point out how many handbags or pairs of shoes she has - she can only wear one pair at a time. That's just not the point. Good luck!

My wife just had a yard sale. Sold a $60 pair of jeans that she wore 10 times for 5 bucks.

Yesterday I sold a pistol that I've had for 3 years and put 3000 rounds through. I sold it for more than I paid.

Flashed the cash in her face and made a case for buying guns.

Un-phased, she took the money right outta my hand and went shopping. No spit.

But man, can she wear those jeans!

BUY IT. Then buy something for her too.

Have you tried the 9c on a range? That might provide the answer you desire.

If I'd have tried both the 40c and 9c before I'd ordered my 40c, I'd presently own the 9c and not the 40c. Don't mistake that as being necessarily negative about the 40c, as I feel the 40c is a pretty nice handling compact .40 pistol. It may not offer the same controllability for extended range sessions as the 4013TSW (with its wider grip which can reduce felt recoil across a wider part of the palm, especially if Hogue grips are added), but it offers me better comfort over the course of extended range sessions than my 4040PD or G27.

Granted, I own as many .40's as I do 9's, but the 9c is one of the nicest handling, nicely ergonomic, softest recoiling compact 9's I can remember shooting.

As much as I like my 3193, CS9, SW999c and pair of G26's, I do wish I'd ordered the 9c instead of the 40c back when I was making the decision.

If you haven't tried one at a range, consider doing so.

BTW, the comments about comparing guns to women's purses and shoes may be valid, at least to some degree, but that's a debate that often becomes a "lose-lose" proposition.

The number of pairs of shoes a woman has at one time is 17. the average cost is $50. So at any one time you wife, who of course is better than average, has spent at least $850. Now is she content to keep the 17 pairs she has for a long long time? i don't need to answer that. So how many pairs of shoes do you haul over to Goodwill every spring and fall?
Here lies your answer and your "footing" for your next purchase.

I passed my shooting test for license with 4.25 barrel M&P 9 (Friends pistol) ,but I think need somthing smaller like 9c ,it just conceals better. My wife has 7 pairs of at last count . I think that entitles me at lease 2 more guns .

Cheaper would be to buy a Storm Lake 9mm barrel and mags! I just did for my 40c and it will pay for itself in just the difference between the cost of rounds.

I carry the 9c daily both for work and after as well. I must conceal, which is why I went with the smaller one. I recently got a set of CT laser grips for it as well. Quite possible the most accurate, and sweetest shooting pistol I would ever trust my life to.

Now if you only want to practice with the 9 round, do what the above guy said and get the conversion barrel and a mag or two.

Not true...you have two hands, don't ya? So, that means you can shoot two at a time.
