I have been wanting to pick up a 5" M&P for quite some time now. I have had dreams of turning one into the ultimate home defense/night stand gun. Flash back to last week when I was able to find a 9mm version in stock at Bud's Gunshop. I ordered it up and it landed at my local FFL yesterday.

Last night I installed the Trijicon HD sights and will be ordering up a Surefire X300U to slap on the front. Later today I will probably give it a texture job and it will be done. A note about installing sights on the 5" guns. I own the MGW M&P sight pusher, but it won't work on the front sight for the 5" guns. I purchased this pusher (Universal Hand Gun Sight tool - Home - El Cajon, CA) and it took care of the front sight with ease.

The only other issue I have is finding a few more magazines, but everyone is having that problem. I am alo thinking about sending this gun to ATEi to have it milled for a Trijicon RMR.

Nice.

Thinking this maybe my next purchase. Im stuck between a M&P 5 or 1911 for the house.
 
Nice...did those palm swells come with the gun?

Yes they did. It appears that newer M&P's are comming with the new factory textured back straps that first appeared on the C.O.R.E. guns. My gun had a test fire date of 6/10/13 so it is of very recent production.
 
Have been eyeing that one up for a while too. They went MIA for a long time. Good to see them back out now. Saw one two weeks ago at a LGS for $609. Couldn't do it. Probably will next time around. Mind telling us what you paid?

It was 650 something shipped to my FFL. I bought it from Buds Gunshop and they shipped it to my FFL. $609 is a great price for a 9l Pro Series, you should snatch it up.
