EricW Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Any word on the 5" models? Not yet. Spoke with them yesterday. Looks like they have a good gun to shoot right now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralChang Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 So, what is the final verdict/opinion on the M&P 9mm? Durability? Reliability? How does it compare to CZ SP01, G34, Beretta 92, G17? I have a line on one for $399 and was thinking of giving it a day in court. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysued Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 OK, I can't tell you how it compares to the CZ because I have never shot one. It has a diferent feel & trigger thanthe Beretta. The trigger is very similar to the Glock in Feel, but the internal fucntioning and parts are very different!! It does fit my hand very well though, and with the Interchangeable Back-Straps, it's easier to customize!! The Built in beaver tail really rocks!! Even the factory Trigger is pretty good. I'm sending mine out for a Trigger job next week while I recover from Surgery. As soon as I can get back on my feet and run around, I'll be blasting with my M&P9!! For $399.... I would jump on it!! That's a great price!! So, what is the final verdict/opinion on the M&P 9mm? Durability? Reliability? How does it compare to CZ SP01, G34, Beretta 92, G17?

GeneralChang Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 any reports on reliablilty or durability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'd also be interested in long round count reliability and durability info. The reliability reports I've gotten from several owners have been good for both 9mm and .40 minor. Both of these guys also have Burwell trigger jobs and like them. I haven't heard any long term durability reports. There have been a couple 10,000 round torture tests by LE groups for acceptance testing. Someone on the S&W forums is saying he did a 20,000 round torture test on an M&P 9mm. http://smith-wessonforum.com/eve/forums/a/.../4071020941/p/4 They've only been around for a year so I think it will take more time for someone to shoot a few out and really determine the usable life.

Middle Man Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) any reports on reliablilty or durability? Vincent posted the link to the tests on a friend of mine's M&P 9mm that went through 20K rounds over two months. The gun was put through the standard tests and some not so standard abuse like spending time under a Chevy Blazer tire and a dunk in a bucket of wet cement. I got to put a few of those rounds through it in at a match in August before the real torture began. I've been told it looks butt ugly now, but continues to run. I now have one of my own.

Exiledviking Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 FWIW, I have over 3,000 rounds in mine. I have only cleaned it once. I much prefer the M&P over the Glock 17 that I sold. Sits better in the hand, better trigger(once it is "broken" in), I can get a higher grip on the M&P without getting cut by the slide. For $399....JUST DO IT!!!

chp5 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I pickup up a 9mm the other day. It came stock with the extended slide release - which makes it MUCH easier to drop the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralChang Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Ok, i picked up a pair M&P 9's. I am impressed, the triggers have a little grit (on the takeup) but break clean. They seem to be put together very well. I'll shoot them tomorrow and post results. I just need a holster and some new sights. Still thinking on what to do on the trigger job. First impressions are that I like them over my G34's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralChang Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) Here's my experience with the M&P. Recoil is next to nonexistent. Gun points very well. Rapid splits were easy to achieve due to the lower felt recoil. I do believe I'll be switching over from my Glocks. Accuracy was excellent. The gun needs some trigger work and better sights and all will be golden. Very impressed. Edited October 30, 2006 by GeneralChang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kend Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 We've got the front sights covered, a couple of new rear sights are on the way and should be available in a couple of weeks. Speed Shooter Specialties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Z Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I turned loose of my bucks last weekend. I think I may have paid a little too much ($455.00+tax) but I got my M&P 9. Now, if I can only get a holster by weekend I can play with my new toy at the last club match of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Z Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Thanks Yamil I think that's kind of you. What did you have to change to make the Uncle Mike's work? Would a Fobus for a G 21 work?

Bigbadaboom Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'm sure that I'm not the first one to figure this out but I've had my hands on 6 S&W M&P 17 rnd 9mm mags and all of them hold 18 rounds and aren't even that tight. They reload easily. Also, My M&P fits my CQC holster for my XD perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBaneACP Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 FWIW, spent a week at GUNSITE with the 9mm M&P (no mag drop safety)...no malfs of any kind...quick out of a Blade-tech holster. Like this gun a lot and will probably give it a try in Production. Michael B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome performer!! Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catfish Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Shot mine again today at the range after the match and again was very pleased with the pistol. Let a couple of buddies run some rounds through it as well and both commented on how well the gun feels in the hand and how well it shoots. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, if the MP holds up and proves to be reliable and durable, Smith has a real winner here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
