The low and left thing is common with any striker fired pistol. However, I have yet to see very many, if any complaints about other pistols shooting large groups at 25yd.

Maybe "plague" was a strong word. However, I've never seen anyone complain about accuracy from a 40 or 45, or even the compact 9mm model. Not every pistol is affected, but it seems much more widespread than the other M&P models.

Yeah, people can defend S&W all they want. But the fact of the matter is that there are other handguns on the market, some of which are actually cheaper than the M&P (Walther PPX as ugly as it is). Yet they don't suffer from the same plague of accuracy issues as the full size 9mm models. I...

As far as I know, S&W has changed the sear and trigger mechanisms on all of the M&P models. That's why the later models have a better feeling trigger. However, the barrel on the full size 9mm model has been changed a few times over the years.

Finally shot the pistol today. Now I remember why I've bought and sold two of these before. The trigger isn't terrible (like some people say), but it isn't great either. I think the biggest problem I have is getting consistent groupings. I think my Mossberg 500 with 00 buckshot at 50 yards has...

In handguns, ammunition shouldn't make that much of a difference. My Glocks, CZs, and Berettas all shoot various 115 and 124gr brands the same. It's unacceptable that a PRO model new pistol is that loose. I've tried M&Ps three different times. Each time they ended up getting sold after a few...

Looks like this gun has the newer slide stop. Measuring the lockup gap with a feeler gauge, I get .009".

Can someone provide info on when S&W changed the specs on the full size M&P 9mm? I seem to recall them changing the barrel and also the slide/barrel lockup. I recently purchased a new in box pistol, but noticed that it was made in 2012. I am a little worried about accuracy issues with this model.

Hopefully S&W does this again. I need another M&P and missed out on this one.

I got in on the last promo. Mags came in about 8 weeks iirc.

I use a wooden dowel and a hammer. Works fine.

Here's why I'm thinking of getting a Shield. I have a Glock 19 and a 26. The M&P9c is in between the 19 and 26. I'd probably just rather carry the 26 than the chunkier 9c. Having the single stack would be nice. However, S&W is giving away three mags with a purchase of an M&P. That makes the 9c...

I'm thinking I might do the same thing. How does the Shield shoot compared to the 9c?

I'm sure this is a personal choice, but is there any reason to go with a Shield over a M&P9c and vice versa? I've heard many say that the M&P9c carries just as well as the Shield, so pick the 9c for the extra ammo.
