So I was able to hit the range with VUPDblue Sunday. He was kind enough to let me shoot his M&P 45. I've been thinking of getting one, and I really wanted to try before I buy.
He happened to even bring his M&P 9c along. I held it, but didn't really like it. I felt it was just too small.
After shooting his 45 for awhile, I thought what the heck. I'll just give the 9c a try.
HOLY CRAP!! I immediately fell in love. I ran a few mags thru it. And I pulled out my EDC, a Glock 19, and decided to compare them. I've been shooting my Glock 19 a lot better than I did before. Enough to be really happy with my accuracy with it. But, I felt I could shoot that M&P 9c a heck of a lot better.
Once I got home, put my Glock 21 up for sale, sold it an hour later. And today, I called Bradis, asked them to put one of the last 2 9c's on hold for me, and I showed up before closing.
Paid cash, and here I am, a proud owner of a M&P 9c. Already have the Apex carry package on order.
Got home, and my wife and I ran 100 rounds thru her. Had a lot of fun.
Now, I did think long and hard on this. I wasn't sure if it was smart to sell a .45, and buy a 9mm, since I already carried a 9mm. But, it's a big advantage. My wife can't shoot the .45. And can shoot dang well with the 9mm's. And since she can't shoot my 20 gauge and AR15, this makes more sense. No matter which one I'm carrying, Glock 19 or the M&P9c, there's always a gun in the house that she feels comfortable shooting, and being accurate. Plus, it's cheap to shoot, and I can afford to buy 9mm in bulk!
Here's some pics!

Yea I'm not selling the G19!
Now, some training would probably have made all the difference, but it was just too much *bang* for me with that short barrel.
