How do you like Smith & Wesson M&P 45C

[wlg]

I am looking at a S&W M&P 45C 4" barrel. If you have one how do you like it? What is a fair price for one made in 2010 with case and all it came with, shot very little maybe 300 rounds?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I carried a Colt Officers ACP for 20 years until my back went out. I switched to an M&P 45c and couldn't be happier. It weighs half of the Colt and I swear that it has less recoil.

45c

I've had the 45 c for a couple years now great pistol. Yesterday I bought a Shield 9 havent shot it yet,but I like the size. Also own several Glocks and Sigs I like them all.

I bought one a couple months ago. Absolutely love it. I paid $400 for mine, thought I got off pretty good on that deal

I wish I could get one.

I'm not sure if your comments pertain to the pic, but the gun in the pic isn't an M&P 45c.

I liked my M&P40C so well that I decided to get a 45C. Of course it's a bit larger than the 40C, but it still makes a great carry gun. It's roughly the size of a 1911 commander. It's a good shooter, but the trigger is heavier than the 40C. Overall, I like it.

I'm a revolver guy but...I LOVE my 45c !

Like it a lot. Has a striker indicator on back of slide that lets you feel with thumb if its been cocked while still in holster, once drawn you can see by the chamber indicator sticking up between sights that is has a round in chamber, grip safety for 1911 fans, also satisfies those that believe you have to have a manual safety added but those that fear they will forget to disengage it under stress dont have to worry. Sights are good, grip is good,no jams yet, very accurate. Recoil feels about like my 40's. And mechtech systems now makes a carbine conversion for xd's. Should be about $450 if you look hard.

Oops. I messed up. I am talking about my xd, saw 45c and got mixed up. I do like the 40 m&p also though.

Is wondering about that.....

I've used several full-size M&P45 pistols over the years. Summer of '13, they shipped the M&P45C by mistake. I went ahead and did an evaluation.

Great pistol. Accurate, uses the 10 round magazines without trouble, soft shooting.

I like it. Hate to send it back. Can't help on current price though.

I think the 45c is a fantastic handgun. I've had mine for several years now. No issues and on a good day I can shoot 3-4" groups at 25 yards. Recoil isn't bad at all. I installed a Apex FFS trigger group. I kept the trigger weight about the same as factory by using a different spring. I'd say if you can pick up the 45c for $400 that would be good.

My only disapointment with the 45c is that Crimson Trace doesn't make a laser grip for it like they do for the rest of the M&P line. I've been asking for it since I bought the pistol.

This is my favorite! I own several M&P's, but this is the best .45 I have ever owned or shot. I highly recommend it. And I know some of you may protest, but I have put 2500 rounds of all types of ammo through it and have cleaned it once. Still to this day, I have never had a jam, stove pipe or misfire.

Next to my Hi-Power, one the best Smith and Wesson's EVER.

I have one. I prefer my M&P40 and M&P40C for capacity and for triggers, though I am very much a fan of .45auto.

The trigger on my 45C was significantly heavier than my other M&Ps. I changed that by doing a fluff & buff and installing the Apex Hard Sear
and Apex Ultimate Striker Block. This made a dramatic improvement in the trigger pull and now I like it quite a bit. The M&P45C is a great .45auto carry gun!

 

[judgecrater]

As close as I can come to the C is my standard M&P 45 which is one of the best pistols I have fired. In both of my M&P pistols I have put in the APEX hard sear which made a very nice improvement in the triggers. I suggest you will like the pistol very much.

I wish they made the 9mm in the same size as the .45c. But I really like my full sized .45 so far and I think the C is like the perfect size for a gun that can do CCW and HD.

 

[Bozz10mm]

Looks like they are selling new for around $465. I would think $350-$365 would be a fair price for a lightly used one.

 

[warbird]

Outstanding firearm. No ammo sensitivity. Removing the external safety was easy. Trust it completely!

I loved mine. Recently purchased a Kimber and traded the 45c for a 9mm full size. Didn't really need two 45's with similar capacity. I will definitely be buying a 45 full size as soon as my local shop runs a sale.
