Default Pics of my M&P 45C

My M&P 45 Compac, FO front sight and Apex internals. Great shooter!

You have quite the 'rocket in your pocket' with that bad lil wolverine! (baggy pants and cargo shorts pockets anyway)

One certainly doesn't need 20/20 vision looking down the wide opening of the barrel of a 45, to convince them it's best to 'be nice'. That's no pea picker!

Nice pistol. I'm looking for one myself. Do you CC it? If so how does the 4" barrel feel while carrying it?

The front sight I installed myself it is a HiViz comes in either red or green.

Yes, I conceal carry this 45 in a Blade Tech IWB rig and a single pouch magazine holder. During heavier clothing months (which in Idaho is 8 months out of the year) I wear a Galco Speedmaster rig.

Lightweight and compact 45 that is utterly reliable and more than accurate.

Outstanding choice for a CCW.

Mine rides IWB at 4:00 in a K&D Thunderbird Defender:

Bombsaway: Nice leather, very adjustable and efficient plus attractive.

Opps144, glad that you noticed. That full moon clip is used in my 625JM and TR22. It does prop up the 45C for photos rather well,eh?

ops144 Apparently no one as yet. It's interesting I have found that the chambers on the ACP revolvers tighter than the chamber in the M&P. But the M&P shoots really well, especially with a 230grain LRN and a near max dose of 231. It won't shoot as tight as my 625JM.

If you don't mind me asking, do you carry your 45C for duty or is it strictly an off duty weapon. I'm very impressed with mine.

Thanks

Myanof: Thanks for asking! It's an off duty gun as I am a retired officer.

I shoot it some in competition and carry it concealed in the colder months. It's just a great piece of Tactical Tupperware.

I wanted a 45 Auto but couldn't afford a nice 1911. After I put the Apex hard sear and USB I look upon it with fondness and shoot it with confidence.

Thanks Bronco, great choice. What do you think your trigger pull is with the two Apex add ons?

Myanof: I measured on a Lyman Trigger Pull gauge and it came in 4.5 lbs.

I've fired hundreds of rounds through this Auto and all operations are trouble free and consistent.
