Picked up a Shield 9mm for the wife last week. I will be her EDC replacing a Ruger LCR which she had trouble using due to the way she had to grip it. I really like the feel of the Shield and might get one for myself. I carry a XDM 9mm with me and a Ruger LCP when I can't carry the SA. Not planning on getting rid of anything as I don't own any Glocks.
I am new to M&P's as I recently purchased a M&P22 and am impressed with it. As an accumulator I will not sell off anything to fund more M&P's. I will definatly be looking at either a .40 or .45 full size M&P in the near future.
The M&P22 is my first polymar framed gun. It has taken me years to warmup to one. The M&P platform looks like one I can live with and enjoy.

You read my mind. Those are the exact words I was going to type.
Putting my sig p250sc out for sale.Just picked a M&Pc in 9mm 
Shield was on top of list but none were available, hope second choice is NOT second best. I hear alot of complaints bout the trigger but it seems real nice to me, only have 75 rnds thru it so far

I dumped my 'no handgun platform' for the m&p .40 fs a few months ago and haven't looked back. The only frustration I have now is when looking at the LGS, picking up other types and brands I've noticed none of them feel as good as my m&p. But I am hooked on shooting and thinking my next purchase will be a revolver of some kind. . Or a compact. Or a shield. I'm going to need to a second job to support this habit, I can see that now.

I'm starting to consider selling a couple of my 3rd Gens to fund more M&Ps - didn't think I'd ever say that. The 3913, however, is going nowhere, even if the Shield is now my EDC. The 5906 and 6906 may just get replaced....

If they would make a full length 45 with a narrower grip like the shield has I would trade my 1911 for it.
Howdy yall,I'm a new guy on the forum. Have to agree with the M&P lovers here. Have a two month old M&P 9mm Pro 5 inch and a new M&P 22 and could not be more pleased with either. Looking forward to shooting IDPA with the 9 and the 22 is just a hoot. Have a favorite 5903 with nightsites that might must have been acccurized the way it shoots at 25 yards. Think I still love both platforms. The M&P is much easier to shoot accurately however.

Can't say I will ever get rid of my 2 3rd Gen Glock 19s because they have been 100% reliable and very accurate despite not being the best feeling grip. After purchasing my Shield, I can say I won't be buying any new Glocks.
In addition. Just sold my Glock 26 and bought a new M&P9c

Be it Glock's or M&P's they are both good guns. I have a M&P I got off a friend in a tough spot. However S&W's military discount can't touch a blue label Glock price so I am a bit more true to Glock as far as polymer is concurned. Both of them are great guns, I find it hard to put my Glock 22 off to the side.
I shoot the M&Ps well, like them a great deal and other than my very early 40c, have never had a problem of any kind. Cannot say the same for any other platform I've owned. Most of which are long gone. BTW, the 40c problem was a soft mag release, S&W did right and sent the the revised part for free. It's hard to beat S&W's customer service and these guns work great. What's not to like?

Exact same story here. I have a Shield and M&P 9 so far. Of the 3 brands, the M&P is the best by far, IMHO. Each brand required some kind of trigger job. The Apex parts give the best trigger for my tastes and needs. The grip and back strap system on the M&P gets high marks from me. And for me, the M&P just handles better than the others. I'm converted.
Traded my S&W 459
Reviving an old Thread!
Had my S&W 459 for 30+ years. Parts getting hard to find. Decided it was time to upgrade. Looked/researched G19, XD9, SR9 and M&P9. Took my 459, mag collection and scorpion holster to a few local gun stores and found one store who really wanted my mint 459. Had to hang with S&W... been good to me for 30+ years! Have some high expectations from my new purchase! Don't think S&W will let me down.
