Just picked it up today, going to shoot it tomorrow. Ergonomics are great, trigger pull feels just ok, probably going to get a trigger job done on it. Has 12-round magazines (one with a pinky extension, one without) and 3 swappable backstraps.

The finish on the slide and barrel (Melonite) seems much nicer than the non-Melonite finish of my XD-9...a definite plus!

yeah, definately make sure that you give us a range report. I've thought about one of those in 40 and non-compact.

Nice!
Any idea if you can mount a standard sized tac-light on that, or just the compact ones?
Gotta love our litigious society...Warning info on the slide...sheesh!

Let us know how it shoots!

Very nice.

Almost bought one from Buds for $400... but I though " I want my first pistol that I PAY for to be a XD"

Now Im having 2nd thoughts and a little bit of jealousy! D:
lol

I just got a full size 40 S&W a week ago. I think it is very nice, trigger is good but I will get it worked.

BoomerBSG · 01-03-2007, 04:03 AM

the M&P was almost my first gun. i really liked the feel of it, and the trigger felt pretty good.
but in the end i went with my XD.
who knows, had that m&p had a rear safetly like the XD i may have purchased it instead.

cheers

Sweet. I just put money down on a full size 9mm at fin feather fur in ohio. Its on sale for $399. I'm gonna have the beaver tail removed by bowie tactical.

Mine does have the mag disconnect sadly, I don't see it being a potential problem though.

Here in ohio, columbus and cincinnati PD just ordered a few thousand.

My wife was shown one of those by a clerk when we were shopping for her carry gun (ultimately chose the XD9SC) but I flatly refused to give Smith & Wesson a dime of my money.

Some may have forgotten the shameful way that S&W betrayed gun owners in the late 90's / early 00's, but I never will.

The clerk was quick to state that the "reason" was that a British company had majority ownership of S&W back then (a statement that I have not confirmed) and that of course the Brits don't see private gun ownership the same way we Yanks do. Apparently S&W has been trying like hell to make up for past transgressions now that they are fully American owned (another statement that I have not confirmed) but for me it's a lost cause.

I'll never give them a second thought again. Too many other manufacturers out there who are not willing to cave in to pressure from anti-gun special interest groups.

Both statements are true...at least concerning ownership of S&W.

It's your money and you, of course, spend it when and where you like!
