    I really question the whole M&P line...

    Well, my M&P 40 Pro5" and M&P Shield 9 are both completely stock, have had zero issues, eat everything tried and the 40Pro easily does 3" groups at 7 yds in/around the bullseye rapid fire. I must be doing something wrong to not have issues, I guess...

    Trigger Pull Advise

    The Shield is a close in self-defense pistol, not designed nor suited for competition, for which the Apex modification was designed. YMMV, but mine has the stock trigger, and it shoots 4" groups rapid fire at 7 yds.

    Shield First Range Trip

    Nice report and glad it's shooting reliably. Our Shield 9 is solid also. Hope never to have to fire for effect at 25 yds with a Shield!

    M&P pro question

    My recently purchased 40 Pro 5" has been flawless for 500 rounds of factory reloaded FMJ, Federal Hydroshok and Hornady Critical Duty. It's my house protection pistol and despite my old shaky hands easily shoots 3" fast fire groups at 7yds. It's the same overall size as a 1911, so with the right...

    Drank the Kool-aid

    Guess I'm lucky. My bride of 30 years likes her all black Shield 9 and has never expressed a desire for a girly color. Plus she's never had a problem buying another firearm or going to the range. I'll keep her another 30. :D

    What bullet weight for M&P .40 CORE, 5" barrel

    My 40 Pro eats everything 100% and at home/self protection range can't see any accuracy differences with any. Try a box of several and see if any stand out to you. At the range I use the cheapest factory reloads I can find (usually 180). For carry I use Hornady Critical Defense or Hornady...

    M&P Shield 9 Shooting Way Low Left

    As I understand the original poster, his groupings were tight but way off at 7 yds. At that range even a cheap bore sight should be able to rule out (or not) misalignment of the iron sights. Not trying to zero in, just help determine if it's the pistol's problem or operator's. 9mm factory...

    M&P Shield 9 Shooting Way Low Left

    Bore Sight Have not waded through this entire long thread in full, but a bore sight would immediately determine if the sights are off enough to cause the way low left problem. Amazon has them for less than a box of bullets.

    M&P Pro 5"

    My Pro40 is a month old and has 200 flawless rounds through it. It's more accurate than my old eyes and hands are. Got it for home protection and recreational shooting. Very pleased with it. Can't comment on using it for EDC as I conceal carry a Kahr CW40 only.

    home defense question

    There is more to hardening a home/apartment than just considering to close and lock your bedroom door (I vote no.). The idea is to force the intruder to delay entry and to make enough noise to give you time to wake up, arm, and call 911. Off the top of my head: 1. Have a dog or two. 2. Put hotel...

    cleaning M&P pro core for the first time

    I may have missed seeing this mentioned elsewhere, but there is a cleaning hole for the striker channel that allows aeresol cleaner to be squirted through it without any take down other than normal removal of the slide. My graphic's ability is nil, so no picture. Holding the slide upside down...

    Indoor range costs?

    Tacoma, WA: pistol calibers only (carbines OK), $15 charge no time limit unless waiting line, military free on Tuesday if you buy $10 or more ammo, ladies day on Monday half price, memberships available which makes it cheaper (unless your retired military and shoot only on Tuesdays :D).

    cleaning M&P pro core for the first time

    Search youtube. There are several videos on removing the striker and cleaning. At 3,000 rounds you certainly need to remove the striker and clean the channel. For normal cleaning after each range session, get an aerisol can of gun cleaner and use the straw that comes with it to blow cleaner...

    Flawless first day at the range with my new Pro 40 with 5" barrel. Fired 120 rounds total rapid fire with zero malfunctions (30 each factory reloads, Remington Sabre, Federal Hydro Shock and Hornady Critical Defense). Prep was normal cleaning and lube (gun grease vice oil where metal slides on...

    Shield 9mm Initial Range Report

    Very pleased with our new Shield 9mm. Was prepared to fire 200 rounds for break in but had zero issues so stopped at 65. Prep was normal cleaning and lube (gun grease vice oil where metal slides on metal). All shots were rapid fire since this is a concealed carry pistol.
