Yup, I love mine. It is my primary off duty gun, and the perfect compliment to my duty M&P 40 full size. It deffinately shoots much softer than the Glock 27 which was my previous off duty gun. Congrats on the new gun.

I own the full size and the 45c. I have also used my 45c top end on my full size thus making it a 45 mid size. The full size gun and the mid size are nearly identical, and for me have less muzzle flip than the 45c. That being said, there is not a huge difference between any of them, but the...

Auto forwarding when you firmly insert a magazine is a known thing with all of the M&P line. It is also fairly common on Beretta 92 series of pistols as well. It is not a problem, and it has more to do with how you insert the magazine as opposed to how firmly you insert it. If you insert you...

I have both the full size M&P 45 and the M&P 45 compact. As far a size relation, the full size is nearly identical to a Glock 17 or Glock 22 (though the slide is a hair longer on the M&P). The compact is the same roughly as the Glock 19 or Glock 23 and in my opinion is the perfect size for...

Very easy, punch out the rear roll pin, lift out the sear housing and the thumb safety slides right out. There is also a spring and detent that you can remove on the left side of the sear housing (can be removed by finger, no tool required). Drop the sear block back in and you are good to go...

We will have to agree to disagree on that one. The G21 is only .15" longer than the M&P 45, but is is also much thicker. This is due to the magazine design as the thre extra rounds in the G21 would not be allowed by just .15" of grip length. It is a combination of grip thickness and length...

I think the main reason was to keep the size of the grip frame down. The G21 is much thicker, but I don't know about the X45 or the HK variants but I would bet they are thicker as well. Ten rounds is plenty.

I have both the full size and compact M&P 45's and will compare them to my Dept. issued Glock (G22 40 S&W) as well as a Glock 21 I used to shoot freequently (my fathers). Pros: The grip size compared to other double stack 45's is far better. It is slimmer than the Glock 21 and fits my hand...

How long was the turn around time from when you sent it to Smith to when you got it back?

I recently picked up a full size 45 and the compact. They were quite a mission to come by and I have been told by more than one source that S&W is backordered up to 5 months on most of the M&P line.

Mine are really hard to get the 14th round in as well (I have two). I only load mine to 13 for a couple of reasons. I have seen some reports of the mag spring bending when loaded to full capacity, and the only people that make springs for these mags are S&W. I replaced all my baseplates with...

Congrats on the new M&P. I have the full size 45 in the flat dark earth frame. I removed the thumb safeties as they do nothing for me but get in the way and ordered up some frame plugs from Smith to fill the gaps. I like the M&P's so much that I have sold off all my personally owned Glocks...

Congrats, I have the full size M&P 45 in dark earth. It is such a phenominal gun that I have sold off all my personally owned glocks and have an M&P 45 compact on the way to serve as my off duty gun. The full size 45 will remain as my HD/nightstand gun with a surefire X300 and 14 round mags...

I have read nothing but problems with the Aredondo base pads for the 45 platform. It has something to do with the retaining bump inside the magazine. You have to file it flat to get the follower to go down far enogh to gain the extra rounds. I bought the 14 round mags for my 45 FS and...
