I have been a Glock fan for many years. I also carried a Sig for the same amount of time. That being said when I saw the M&P 9c mentioned in the Glock forum I had to try one.Loved it. Then I was at a gun show and found a used PD trade in, a M&P 45 for $430 and bought it. My local range had a M&P 40 with about 3000 rounds thru it, damn I got that too. Well last week I saw a VeeTach model in 9 and it had the best trigger of all. It found a new home. Why to 9? As an old dude the 9 does not hurt my hand like the 40 and I can shoot 2/3 boxes and still write the check to the range when I am finished.

Haha, very nice. Yea the .40 has got a lil kick to it. But that's why I like the .40, you can drop in a 9mm barrel if you want and pop some off at the range. I like the versatility =]

I was going for a 9mm for the longest time, but because you can convert if you'd like easily, I think im springing for the .40.

For me the M&P makes it effortless to shoot accurately and fast. Also the ergonomics are obviously #1 out of all polymer pistols.

I'm new to firearms and, w/ a few weeks of homework & shooting a couple of guns at the range, and after narrowing the selection down I chose the m&p9c for my first purchase for the simple deciding factor that I'm a southpaw and I wanted a gun that was made for me.

I didn't care for dealers trying to push the glock on me. Why should I have to compromise the way I handle/hold a firearm & have to use my index finger to release the slide & my middle finger to release the mag? S&W cared enough about their southpaw consumers to make a GREAT fully ambi compact & I was sold. I also take great joy in knowing my first gun is American made.

The only thing my m&p is missing is an ejector port that spits spent rounds out to the left instead of the right. If anyone knows a mod for that (that doesn't compromise the gun itself) I would greatly appreciate a holla.

I've been shooting handguns for 45 years and I might be wrong but I don't remember ever seeing a left handed ejection port. I am left eye dominat and used to shoot lefty and never had any problem shooting, just the controls. As you said the M&P is set up that way from the start. I hope you enjoy your M&P. I know I love all of mine. The only problem I have is you can't seem to have only 1. Except for a couple of guns I probably will never part with M&P's are pretty much all I have now.

I had a M&P full size in .40, unfortunately in Massachusetts, the attorney general, for safety reasons, has determined that we need to have a 40-50 lb. trigger pull on our version. I did have a trigger job done , but did not shoot it well and sold it. That being said, I could not open my safe without picking that gun up, the feel was just right, same as you get with a 1911.When I had mine they had not come out with the apex trigger kit yet. I have heard they make a big improvement,the M&P may soon be on my short list.

I like the M&P, but my SIG SP2022 has a much better trigger right out of the box. My SIG is my go to gun for carrying purposes now.
