Shot My New S&W M&P 9c

[Mike02048]

Shot my new M&P 9c today for the first time. I really like this gun. I shot better with this gun than I do with my Beretta 92FS. Not sure why, since the 92FS has a longer sight radius. Trigger pull is easier than I thought it would be since it's always double action. I'm really happy I chose this gun. I was also considering the Ruger SR9c and the Walther P99AS. I'm sure I would have been happy with either of these as well as they are both really nice weapons.

I also just ordered the Speed Scabard leather holster from the S&W website as I plan to mae this my concealed carry weapon.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Mike, I"v had one for a couple years now. Finally got a trigger job done this year, and it shoots very nice indeed!!! I am still very happy with it. Good luck with yours, have fun!!!

Congrats! I love my M&P 9c. I'm surprised to hear that you like the trigger as i hated mine until I got it fixed. It's a great carry gun AFAIC.

I like it, it's a nice gun for short money. Good score!

Congratulations, that was the first gun I bought after getting my LTC, I've since picked up the M&P 40c and a .357 SIG drop-in barrel.

Hmmm ... now you got me thinking. I wonder if I'd like it even better with a lighter trigger pull? Where did you guys get it done and how much does a gunsmith charge for that?

Try John over at Remsport. You won't be sorry.

I installed the trigger myself with parts from Apex Tactical. Others have done the same. There are reviews here:

I have the full size duty model in 40 and the compact in 40, and they kick ass!

Have a couple different M&P's like them all. Don't mind the heavy trigger on my compact CC weapon, after all it's not a target range pistol.

Mike,

I've heard great things about the Apex kits, but my 9c was gunsmithed by Dave Santurri in N. Attleboro before I bought it. It's a crisp 4.5# pull (a bit lighter than I would have had done). I had my FS M&Ps done by Greg Derr (he's an advertising member here on NES) at 5#. [Last I knew, Dave was charging $85 and turnover was a day or two, Greg was $75 and asked for 2 weeks but got mine back to me within a week.]

You are welcome to try any/all out at Mansfield F&G if you wish, just ping me with an Email off my username on any post. Then you could make your own decision on what to do next with yours.

I had mine done at Hunter"s trading Post in Weymouth. They have a gunsmith that does the work. Cost me $60, but I was very happy with the results. If you like how it shoots now, give it a little more time before you make any choice. The guys on this forum know what they are talking about, so I would take any advice they have for you, before you decide on anything.

 

[Mike02048]

Thanks for all the good advice and recommendations. I shot it again this morning and my groupings improved from yesterday. Just getting used to it. Even more convinced that I made the right choice. Feels really good in my hand and it looks great!

I think I'll put about 1000 rounds through it before I decide on the trigger pull mod.

Thanks much!

How does the trigger on the M&p compare to the Sigma trigger?

How does the trigger on the M&p compare to the Sigma trigger?

It's waaay nicer AND you can do work to it to smooth it out even more (Derr trigger job or Apex parts). With the Sigma you're kind of stuck with the cruddy factory trigger (yeah that's why I sold mine).

I also have the same gun - I think I will give john a try with the trigger job - thanks
