Already have an M&P 9C and an M&9 L. Looking to get a compact 40.
How has yours treated you?
Thanks.

My only experience was test driving a XD compact, what makes you leary of a compact 40? I'm thinking about a M&P 40c myself.
It's been a while since I posted on this forum. I'm not sure this reply is going where I intend.
I have a 2007 M&P40c with 1000 rounds through it. This is a carry piece, so I don't shoot it much.
Two complaints: First, it has rusted. Carried IWB in Florida you might not be surprised. Rust is not severe, and it does not affect function, but I am disappointed it rusted.
Second, the short grip is tiring to shoot. Same is true of the G27 (which is worse.) Matter of fact, the gun is surprisingly soft. But, without support from the lower fingers, the middle guy takes a beating.
Positives are reliability, accuracy, pretty good trigger, easy to conceal.
It's a great carry gun for its caliber & size.
PNUC,
Did your earlier 40c variant have the pinky finger magazine base plate?
Will one of them fit your early OEM magazine's?
Thanks!
It took me a few months to get my mind around the no safety thing. In fact, I carry only in my vehicle and with a snap cap in the chamber. This is not going to be permanent, but; it allows me to gain confidence that my safety skills are as good as I think. I have been doing this for a couple months and the snap cap will come out around the first of the year if nothing bad happens. I will probably go through the same process with carrying on my person. As a short heavy guy I am having a hard time find a holster and position for comfortable concealment.
