I wouldn't go over $500, and I think that is high. When I see ads for over new price on a used gun, I don't care what accessories they include; it is a deal-killer to me. The stippling has also greatly devalued the gun and the CT, IMO. Once you start carving on a gun, you should consider it a...

I just got mine today from my LGS for $390 + tax. I really like this gun and was seriously considering the LC9 before this came out. I think the Shield is far superior to the LC9 and in no way replaces my compacts. The compacts have more fire power, can use full-size mags, and will be more...

I've been using a Warren tactical rear sight on 3 of my M&P's with big dot fronts and really like them. I have the rear sights with a single rear dot night sight. The rounded rear sight works by just dropping the big dot in the rear u-notch.

I have aG36 and 2 M&P45C's. I like them both, but do not consider them to be interchangeable. The M&P works fine as a main carry gun, as others have said, about the size of a G19/23/32. The G36, to me, is a great backup, or as a quick grab and go when going to the store. I don't find the recoil...

I'll trade a 9FS for a 9Pro... :) Great find, BTW. You would have kicked yourself all the way home if you had left without it for that price.

Now that is different and pretty cool! I guess that would be the Zombie Hunter version.

You mean like the single-stack G36?

Mine was LE also, that's all Bud's Police Supply sells. I know that all of the 9/357/40 M&P's are supposed to be 3 mags, but my 45C had only 2. Maybe the fact that it was DFE made a difference, but I doubt it.

I bought the 45C in DFE from Bud's Police, and mine came with 2 mags. The grey on the frame is mostly powder residue and usually wipes off with a rag. You could use a spray oil or CLP if it was really stubborn, but I haven't had any problem getting it off. Good luck with your new gun.

I got my 357C from them. I have ordered many times from CDNN, and they are always great to deal with.

As I said, it is subjective. Perhaps that is how it works for you, but I have seen others shoot a .45 like it was a .22 with amazingly fast shot recovery. I don't feel a significant difference in shot recovery times due to recoil-mine is almost always in sight recovery due to my aging eyes. The...

You have to provide credentials before the gun ships.

All of these comments seem generic and not really to the OP's question. The difference between each compact M&P is 2 rounds: 12 for 9mm, 10 for .40/.357, and 8 for .45, so the quantity isn't that much of a factor. Secondly, the 45C has a 4-in barrel vs. the 3.5-in barrel of the other compacts...

I have all of the compact models: 9/357/40/45 and I don't find any of them difficult to control. The 357 is the punchiest of all as it is a very fast round, but is still comfortable to shoot. I also own full-sizes in these calibers and am always surprised at how well the compacts compare in...

I have removed it from every gun I had that came with them. I don't think it is necessary for my personal firearms and it makes slide removal a PITA.
