incoming 45c

[ReluctantHero]

shipped today and now the wait. i feel like a kid when i get a new gun. is there something wrong? instead of seeking professional help, i'll put the money toward ammo and heal myself. 300 rounds of 230 grain american eagle will arrive, along with 50 rounds of hst hollow points. am i on the right path? i'm up for suggestions.

Some pictures would be nice!

Congrats on the new bundle of joy. Sounds like you're on the right track, except you should have ordered more ammo.

 

[ReluctantHero]

should be receiving it friday or monday, it will be my first 45.
i'll get some pics up as soon as i get her.

^^^ This.

 

[Rastoff]

Yeah, you'll be needin' some more ammo. You may have to get into reloading; I did. It's the only way I can feed my habit.

 

[Lost Lake]

Oh my god.
45s shoot so nice. You'll love it!

 

[Doublea17]

I got mine last month it is my favorite gun. I thought my full size 40M&P was nice to shoot but this beats it. You will love it.

 

[kennyb]

got mine last spring...I reload so makes things much easier...you will love it !!

My first-ever .45 is also an M&P 45c. It fits my hand very well, feeling only slightly larger than my 357SIG M&Ps. Oh ya, that fitting very well does NOT happen with the 2 WAY-TOO-short magazines S&W includes with the pistol. It does feel great with the 10-round mags...
M&P Pistol Mags
(buy the 5-pack; one can never have too many magz)
...and the X-Grip gap filler
X-Grip Mag Adapter S&W M&P 45 ACP Full Size Mag to fit M&P Compact 45
...and your 45c will feel and shoot VERY well.

 

[ReluctantHero]

i plan on adding the ten round mags after i break her in

You may consider adding the pinkie extension to your existing mags. Contact S&W and they'll ship you 2 for free!

Oh, and forum member Ray at Lobo Gun Leather makes some fine holsters, too!

very nice, i think one of the mags come with a pinky extention

 

[ReluctantHero]

finally got it

just picked her up from my ffl. i wont be able to get to the range until this weekend. i'm going to clean and lube it prior to shooting her. hope i attached the pics correctly

 

[Rastoff]

Very nice. Wish I could get one.

 

[stmry]

Some pictures would be nice!

Of the gun, not you, of course

i just got back from the mall, had some glamour shots taken and was ready to post. bummer

 

[warbird]

The 45c is reliable and not ammo picky. Fine firearm.

 

[rfd339]

Congrats on the M&P45. Looks great.

Pick up a couple of 14 round mags and use the xgrip spacers, midway has the 14 rounders on clearance right now for $27.28. The 45c is fun with 14 rounds!

 

[Rastoff]

Yes, I'm sure 14 round mags are fun, but they defeat the purpose of a small gun.

 

[Maximumbob54]

CDNN has been getting shipments of used 10 round mags. I ordered one with another order as I wasn't sure how "used" they were. I've since gone back and ordered more. The worst is some scuffs on the sides and some dings in the base. They all work great.

 

[b_san]

Yes, I'm sure 14 round mags are fun, but they defeat the purpose of a small gun.

Not at the range or for reloads, I always carry my G27 with a standard mag but keep a G22 mag (and sometimes a 22rd mag in the car) for reloads, the same applies to the M&P. That's the beauty of the 2 platforms (Glock/M&P), you can use any of the larger mags in the compact guns to expand your capacity.

 

[ReluctantHero]

i have a g26 also, pearce +1 extention for carry (3) 17 round and (1) 33 rounder for back up. because you just never know.

 

[ca survivor]

Congrats!!

 

[shooter1911]

Great gun, congrats. This has been my EDC for several years. Be sure your new gun has blue magazine springs. If they are green or purple call S&W CS and ask them to send you new blue 10 round springs springs and followers. Yes they are now using the 10 rounders in the 45C. They will be happy to oblige. Good luck and good shooting.

 

[ReluctantHero]

i'll have to check into that
