I differ when it comes to the opinion on pocket carry. While I don't have the shield, I do have to M&P 40 compact and I do pocket carry that sometimes with no problem.

Wow, a little paranoid and defensive there aren't we. Nobody put you down, relax.

I would never carry it unholstered. That is why I asked in ,my original post, for those who have pocket carried, what holster they used. Also, there are models with a thumb safety. Though mine does not have one.

Never thought I could until I just put it in the pocket of some cargo style shorts. I think I can pull this off and have it be a lot more comfortable for summer carry down here in S. Florida than IWB. Last few days have been really hot and humid making it very uncomfortable for me to IWB. So...

I carry with a Speer Gold Dot 155gr HP

When I lived in NY (left in 1985) I loved carrying in a shoulder holster. Most comfortable to me. Here in Florida where we have winter for 2 weeks it isn't practical (I don't wear a suit to work)

You may be on the wrong board for an unbiased opinion. I vote M&P

Wow, cool. Lets go get tipsy and then go shoot.

A little more research turns up the following from RS14:94.4 http://www.legis.state.la.us/lss/lss.asp?doc=78743 §95.4. Consent to search; alcoholic beverage outlet D. An "alcoholic beverage outlet" shall not include a restaurant if a majority of its gross receipts are from sales of food and...

Assuming something broke and the striker did lunge forward, presumable the "striker safety" (don't know the actual term for it) would prevent the striker from hitting the primer I would think. Isn't there a safety that is only moved out of the way by action of pulling the trigger?

Fastbolt: Are you confident in the in the M&P mechanism that holds the striker back and the mechanism used to block the striker until the trigger is pulled in terms of nothing breaking and accidentally letting the striker pin make the bullet go bang?

I love my new 40C and I want to carry it. I just need to get comfortable.

WR Moore & Fastbolt. Thank you. I feel a little more comfortable now. I have carried a snub nose for years and never ever gave it a second thought. Never bothered me in the least. Just put it in the holster, put it in my pants (appendix) and off I went. Since I bought the M&P 40 compact...

Wow, I would hate to leave it up to theory. Can anyone confirm this for a fact?

So there is an actual physical block that blocks the firing pin till the trigger is pulled? And if the sear should malfunction / break and the pin comes forward this block would keep the gun from firing?

I had emailed S&W 2 or 3 times and asked them to explain how all the safety features work on their M&P models in detailed layman terms. I was trying to decide if I wanted to sell my 40 compact and buy one with a thumb safety. Not really comfortable carrying with one in the chamber till I...

ab4ka: Congrats. I am sure you will grow to REALLY like this gun. As I said I have the 40 compact and really love it. Good luck and have fun.

Bought an M&P 40 compact about a month ago after renting a sig P239, Glock, H&K and a few others. I love it.

I am 5ft 11, 245 pounds. I have th 40 compact and use either a Desantis Scorpion or a comp-tac MTAC. Both very comfortable for me at 3:30 to 4:00 while seated and 3:00 while walking around.

Got my M&P 40 compact about 1 month ago and I love it. Before I bought it I tried Sig P239, various H&K, Kahr, Glock and 1 or 2 others. M&P was most comfortable for me. The only thing is I am thinking of selling it to get the one with the thumb safety. Kind of a mental thing I have. Of...
