I feel the same way. I've been shopping around for another 9c to match mine and the only ones I've found locally have color-filled lettering. It's a deal breaker for me.

I would be all over a single stack 9mm if they'd make it about the same size as the Kahr PM/CM9 or Ruger LC9. There are times that the CM9 is just more comfortable to carry and easier to conceal than the 9c.

I had a set on a 1911 several years ago and liked them them for quick close shots, but the dot can cover a large part of the target if you're shooting at something small or far away. I wouldn't hesitate to run them again though, and almost ordered a set instead of the I-Dot Pros.

I just ordered a set of Ameriglo I-Dot Pro sights for my 9c. They should be here next week along with my new sight pusher. I had looked at the Tru-Glo TFO's, but they get mixed reviews. I've read alot of posts regarding the fiber optic tubes falling out and a bunch more about the poor quality...

The dealer I bought my M&P9c from routinely lists the 9/40 M&Ps for $399.98, and these are the "LE/First Responder" packages with three mags. When I asked about his prices compared to the other local dealers who are still listing them for $569+, he said S&W had a major price shift quite a while...

"Small Of Back" holsters are frowned on in many circles due to the increased possibility of spinal damage when/if the wearer falls backwards, and the fact that many people have a tendency to "sweep" their own body with the muzzle when drawing from that position. They're also (imho, anyway)...

I'm carrying my 9c in a DeSantis Intruder that I picked up on eBay for less than $45 shipped.

If I could get an ultra-compact single stack M&P9, I'd sell my Kahr CM9 in a heartbeat.

The Uplula should always be bought in pairs. As soon as your friends use yours at the range, you'll be down to one. ;)

Personally, I'd pass on the Serpa and find a Safariland 6378 with the ALS instead. It's (imho) a much more natural motion to disengage the retention, forces your hand into a high grip position, and helps to keep your trigger finger away from the trigger when drawing. Full size M&P40...

I appreciate the offer, but I'm just going to pick up another mag the next time I'm at my local dealer. They cater primarily to LE and generally have a pretty good selection of mags in stock for the guns they carry.

Mine came with one flat and two with the pinky extension, but I really would've preferred it the other way - one pinky ext. and two flat. The flat ones just conceal better for me. I thought about calling S&W and trying to buy a couple flat baseplates, but I think I'll just buy another mag with...

There's also an LE/first responder package that comes with three mags - one flat and two with the pinky extension.

I'm a civilian. It's my understanding that S&W doesn't restrict the sales of their LE/responder packages like some other manufacturers do glock. They may restrict which dealers are able to get the packages, though.

If you don't mind paying for shipping, Dana Safety Supply in Sugar Hill, GA has the 9c "first responder" package for $399.88 + tax, and they sell to civilians. I just picked one up on Friday (2/3) and it set me back a hair under $424 out the door. Go here and click on their profile to get their...
