I purchased an M&P40c in 2005 or 2006 when they first came out. I had that pistol for 7-8 years and it never jammed once. Not once. I had just gotten my concealed carry permit in the fall of 2005 with my first gun, a Taurus 24/7 (which jam on me the whole time during training/qualifying).
The M&P was a great gun until I sold it in 2013 because my eye started to wonder and I wanted to convert to 9mm, so I bought a Glock 19. 22 pistols later, after buying and selling a ton of firearms looking to discover what best suits my needs, I purchased a M2.0 version of my trusty old M&P40c in 9mm, and I feel like I've come home. The trigger is very good (not outstanding, but good enough). The grip texture is amazing. Only my sandpaper TalonGrips give me a better purchase, but these won't shift over time (and they are way more grippy than the rubberized Talons).
I don't even think I am going to change the sights (they're thinner/more accurate than most night sights).
I picked up the S&W M&P Shield 2.0 9mm a few weeks ago & that skinny little pistol is growing on me & the Glock 26 hasn't been carried since.
Really love the grip texture of the 2.0 Shields..
Only upgrade I could think that S&W could do to these pistols is to offer three magazines with the purchase.. Or offer a holster with the package as well as a plastic carrying case.. Think SIG..
I have been wanting a SIG P365 or Glock 43 but think that I've got that all sewed up now with the M&P Shield 2.0
I Gave Away My M&P 9mm Shield Last Night..
My twin brother needs a pistol with all this Covid-19 stuff going on so I made sure He's taken care of.. He lives in my basement BTW..
I still have a couple Glocks & a Revolver around all loaded up & ready to go
All been wiped down with Lysol & oiled up ready to go..
Neighbors needed some ammo = 38 Special fixed them up..
Desert = All The Finest Cutlery Freshly Stoned..
This virus has forced a break in my competition schedule so I’ve been playing with my M&P open project gun in 9major. Got it almost dialed in and really enjoying it!
