Smith .40 m&p

Antwanny · 09-07-2009, 07:42 PM

Anyone know anything about em? Im going into the police academy soon and want something reasonable to go in with and have afterwards. I was going to go glock they just don't fit in my hand correctly. Ive held but never fired one of these or any .40cal for that matter. Im looking to test one out in the next week or 2. Reviews or suggestions welcome.

I love mine. Felt real comfortable when I picked it up... almost like it was meant for my hand and that's what sold me on it. I've got a few thousand rounds through it with nearly no issues. The one issue I did have was a single failure of a casing to eject, but that was POS Wolf round with steel casing. That said, I've run more than 500 others of the same variety without any issue.

It was between that and the XD when I got mine. Went with the XD strictly off price. There really was no difference in them, both felt good in my hand, XD was about $100 cheaper.

Thats exactly what i liked, felt like a glove and smooth uniform trigger pull.

I only own H&Ks right now but I'm going to eventually get an M&P 9mm for Action Pistol and IDPA.

The handgun section of M4Carbine.net has a lot of discussion on the M&P platform.

I think they learned what not to do with the Sigma and carried those lessons over in to designing the M&P. Never having shot an M&P I can't comment on that specific pistol but Smith and Wesson's customer service is pretty good. I suspect you will use the gun a lot so a lifetime warranty is pretty good to have, especially when S&W pays the shipping both ways.
