Hello! I became an M&P owner today. To be honest I've never personally liked the M&P a whole lot. I have a fair number of Ruger's and an XD. I first shot an M&P almost exactly 5 years ago. I was visiting my dad and shot his 45c. I HATED the trigger gritting and hard, that's how I ended up with and XD, he also had one and I loved it, still love my XD45c, then I got an SR9c over an XD9sc and abslutely love that gun as well. Along the way I've snagged an SR40c for the wife (I'm not a 40 guy), an SR1911, LC9 and P3at.
So anyway birthday is in December and I've been saving up my bday/christmas cash, not much but $200. Yesterday I sold an old Steven 84c 22lr for $125 so I had some wiggle room. Wasn't really sure what I was saving up for, a 22 pistol? A compact 1911? XDs in 45? .243 rifle for the wife? Nothing real EXCITED me which told me to just hold on to the money with some other cash I've saved up recently. Then last night perusing facebook gun trader sites a guy had posted the day before a M&P 9c and M&P 40 PRo. 350 for 9 and 400 for the pro. I couldn't believe the price. My dad has since become an M&P collector I think so I bent his hear and he kept texting me all night telling me angels will sing if I buy it.... A friend was over and he's and M&P guy as well and he was tell me to go get it. Interestingly even at that price NO ONE had commented about buying it. As luck would have it the guy was going to be about an hour away from me instead of 2 hours so I made arrangements. I offered him 320 in cash and he literally ripped the money out of my hands, dang it! I could have gotten for 300 or less! Still a REALLY good deal I think.
I still despise the stock trigger. I'm visiting my Dad again in a few weeks so I'll take this along and get it fixed up. He says he has ALL the parts laying around to fix it. I already removed the safety. YUCKY! Not a fan of the ginormous safety that this had on it.
It does shoot excellent. Ran to mags through it at my friends farm on the way home and it ran my reloads perfect and was very accurate.
I've already been offered more for it but for now it will see regular holster duty with the rest of the fleet. I like it, more than I thought I would.
