Finally found the elusive 45c

[southchatham]

After looking for about 2 years I finally bought one today. Love the feel and size of this gun. I'll still cc my shield but still wanted this. S&W should make the 9 and 40 in this size gun. Wonder why this gun is so hard to find when compact 9 and 40's are abundant. Even the shield seems easy to get these days.

Congrats. Just wait 'til you shoot it

congrats also, when i broke mine in for the first time (340 rounds), i still wanted to keep going. 45c is a sweet shooter. i think you'll really enjoy it. good luck and don't forget to post pics

For some reason the .45 M&Ps are more scarce than the other calibers. Maybe the .45 just isn't a popular caliber for polymer guns? Certainly the 9mm is the most popular.

Congrats on the gun though. I can't even get one at all in CA. Enjoy it.

Pics or it didn't happen. You did read the forum rules.....right?

Congrats on the gun. I got mine in Dec I love taking it to the range almost 300 rounds through it and not one issue.

the 45c is my fav.of this line of m&p's love it!

I've owned a few M&P's and always ended up selling them. My 45c is the only one I still have...and I love it! I easily have over 1000 rounds though mine. Congrats on the find!

Since without pics it's a boring thread:

That's interesting. I never noticed that the .45c doesn't have the "c" marked on the slide. The 9mm and .40S&W do though.

they probably use that same slide on their midsize model, just a thought.

Congrats!

Yes I believe the "C" is just a smaller frame with the 4" midsize slide.

I am jealous, I would like a compact 45 but not until they make it with a 3" or 3 1/2" barrel.

I have a FS45 that is just a tiny bit too big for my CC preference. I think a midsize frame with a 3" slide would be OK with me to carry.

Nice, I would love to get a 40c sometime soon. My Shield is nice, but I'd love to be able to carry more rounds and have a .40 instead of a 9mm, I haven't had a .40 in a long time. Good luck and enjoy your new gun.

You will love that pistol. It's just the right size, shoots like a dream, and it's a .45. What more could a young boy ask for?

I picked up a 45c a while ago and ordered a Lobo IWB for it.
It has become my daily carry, swapping only for the Shield just to change things up a bit every now and again.

Fabulous shooting gun! Feels much better in the hand than the Shield.

I'd be hard pressed to choose a favorite M&P between the 45c and 9c. Of all my M&Ps, those two are my favorites.

I got 2 14 round mags with the grip extension, never used them. Should fit your gun, they are m&p. Both for 50 shipped

Just picked up mine today !! Can't wait to put some lead down range !

 

[Mumbleypeg1]

Those of you with the M&P 45c, 4 inch slide, what are you using for holsters? They seem to be as difficult to find as the 45c itself! I tried mine in my 9c holsters but fit seems a little tight and due to the longer slide the holsters don't quite cover the trigger as well as I would be comfortable with. Thanks!
