You're getting enough for everyone, right?

First I bought a regular, full size M&P 9mm. I was so impressed with how it felt and how it shot that I bought a PRO 9mm to get back into USPSA with. Just got a Comp-Tac holster and mag pouch set up. WOW!

Now I'm on the hunt for a 9C. I'm afraid that all of my Colt 1911's, Glocks and Smith and Wesson wheel guns have just attained safe queen status. The M&P cool-aid is strong!

I have only had a chance to put about 100 rounds through my PRO. The trigger feels to me to be about half of the pull weight of my standard M&P. I can't really comment on the break I just know that I always liked the Glock triggers and I think the M&P system is better. I like the trigger prep on these type of striker fire handguns better than the pure single action trigger on the 1911. I'm just more confident with it.

The sight set up on the PRO kicks a$$ in my opinion as well. That fiber optic really stands out. I plan to put a Warren 2 dot set up on my standard M&P, but the PRO's set up will be great for USPSA.

If you like M&P's you will love the PRO. One thing I didn't realize before I bought the PRO is that the slide is narrower than a standard M&P. Makes for a very smooth handeling 5 inch pistol in my opinion.

Good luck!

Okay . . . I looked at the stats on the Smiff'n'Wesson website, and I see that the M&P Pro has a five inch barrel. It's proportioned a lot like Glock 34 in that regard.

Yeah, I know the longer sight radius is a good thing and I know the longer barrel and slide can help in other ways, but I prefer the shorter length of the standard full size gun.

I wonder if you can get the trigger package in the regular sized gun?

AFAIK, you can send your M&P back to the Performance Center to have the work done for $105.00, or you can buy one of the forthcoming Pistol-Training.com limited edition M&P9s, which has the PC sear and Massachusetts trigger bar & spring already installed. I don't think S&W will sell the parts separately.

So Mark, what time do you want me to come by and show you how good the trigger on a PRO is...?

How good is it?


No, wait, nevermind......I am far too entrenched with Glock gear to change to S&W.

You know you want to fondle it. You KNOW you do!!!

The worst thing about the PRO so far is that mags are $40 and that there is not much of a holster selection available.

It's Smith&wesson, enough said. Buy it!

Spam a lot????


Sorry for the

No the first post I thought did not go through, because the page was taking so long to load. That's why I posted the second. This website can be fidgety from time to time. I apologize for that.

After you get geared up with a holster and mag pouches, I'll get you out to Coachs house for a mini-league match to get your feet wet.

Mmmmm.....mini league...[/homer]

I looked at a PRO a few weeks ago when I was at Elmore's and loved everything about it. I assumed (incorrectly as I read here) that the trigger was like the others.

The gun just feels great to hold and point and I really liked the sights too.

Good choice!!

You can always find M&P mags for sale around $20. Here is link that has them in stock: Smith & Wesson M&P Pistol Magazines

G&R Tactical is another good source but they are out of 17 round mags at the moment.

I highly recommend a Comp-Tac paddle holster for the M&P9 Pro Series. This is a competition holster that is perfect for the M&P. The holster is used by Smith & Wesson's contract shooter, Gordon Carrol who happens to be a the sales V.P with Comp-Tac... He actually uses the M&P9 Pro Series and the Comp-Tac paddle holster combination for daily carry and competitions. ( Using a business term: He eats his own dog food)

Well, I took this thing out and put a hundred rounds through it this afternoon. Kinda a quick and dirty shakedown if you will. It is a pleasure to shoot, and plenty accurate. I sighted-in at 10yds and was making a ragged hole. Then i took to shooting the 50yd steel. That was fun too. I think this gun will be very competitive as soon as I get used to shooting it. The sights are just what I like and the trigger is very nice and crisp with a very short reset. So far, I'm impressed.

Glad you like it

I am sending mine to Smith for a trigger job after pulling the trigger on your Pro. Gee I thought maybe I might get some rep for hooking ya up.

 

[VUPDblue]

And I thought I'd be getting some for buying from you...
