I love this gun!

[labloverva]

M&P9 2.0 with 3.6" barrel. Shot 75 rounds today from 5 to 7 yards practicing trigger pulls. Some semi fast shots, and some from a sand bag rest, and some drawn from my new Cook's holster!
Nothing less than the 9 ring.

Nice shooting

Great to hear! This reaction is quite common. Not surprising considering how great these guns really are.

Pics?

Which Cook's holster did you get?

 

[labloverva]

Their winged OWB, for the 3.6" barrel. 15 degree forward cant.
Didn't wear it today, but yesterday is was pretty comfortable!

Strange that today I shot terrible and yesterday so good.

I am thinking about getting that holster. What do you think about it not having adjustable retention? Is it tight enough?

I can hold the holster with the loaded pistol in it, and hold it upside down. The gun remains in the holster. If you hold the holster by the wings and shake it, you will see the pistol start to slide out. But this is not the position it would be in, so I'm ok with this. I have a 30 day evaluation period.

I carry a gen 1 with a 3.6" barrel and couldn't be happier . To me it is a perfect balance of size/capacity. I'm a huge m&p fan, the 2.0 are a lot of gun for the money.
I carry with no safety iwb so I prefer kydex holsters. That being said the best I've found is vedder holsters.

Nice shooting indeed.

I've been getting some drills from a professional firearms instructor to help my trigger control. Seems to be working some.
I anticipate the gun going off, and jerk the trigger the last nanosecond. His drills address that issue.
We also figured out the gun IS shooting slightly left. Both of us are shooting groups that print to the left, mine more than his. I have pushed the rear sight to the right and it appears to be OK now. I have had no failures of any kind with ammo purchased from SGAMMO. Check them out!
The saga continues.

Have either of you tried to shoot groups with your left hand?

We did not. Why do that?

 

[spirit4earth]

I love to shoot left-handed because you never know....I'm a. Dry right-handed person, but I can shoot pretty well with my left hand. The most difficult part is controlling recoil with my weaker hand.

 

[labloverva]

I'll have to try that on an IDPA target! With both hands I'm shooting at 3x3" post it notes between 3 and 4 yards to work on my trigger control.

The reason you should shoot with your left hand has to do with how most people shoot. Right hand shooters tend to shoot to the left. Left hand shooters tend to shoot to the right.

Because both of you are shooting to the left, try it with your left hand. Better yet, find a lefty shooter to help you. I wouldn't be convinced it's the gun until I did a test like this.
