I use the 5" Pro series M&P 9mm for IDPA/SSP, for which it is a perfect fit to the division. The ported models are prohibited in IDPA, and put you in Open in USPSA.
The pro barrels are the same weight as the same length barrel in the standard model, but mine came with a nicely polished ramp. My trigger settled down at 4 1/4#, and the Pro has FO sights. I like Pro models a lot.
(If you plan to put in an APEX trigger and change sights, you might as well start with the basic model.)
As to the weight you quote, the 5" barrel model is 3 oz heavier than the 4 1/4" barrel model. (I have both) Is that what you are reading?
