M&P 40 Range report.

[me]

Today I had the opportunity to hit the range with my new M&P 40, Which has been traveling with me this week along side my normal Kel-tec.

In total today and we fired about 80 rounds through the gun switching between the Medium grip which felt the best in my hand to the small as I hit better with it.

Of those 80 rounds 50 were WWB, 21 were Remmington UMC and 9 were Gold Dot 180s I had no malfunctions in the gun between my uncle sister (not an experienced handgun shooter) and I.

the gun felt great and grouped well (Low & Left which is where I was shooting every pistol) this gun is deffinatly an fun and accurate gun. There was some muzzle flip but for my uncle and I very controlable.

I really like it and can hardly wait to get the Max-Con V in from Gary.

I will continue as often as I get to the range (which I wish was more but I am away at college and the gun stays home by college policy)

I have shot a few new M&P's, the trigger are quite stiff out of the box but improve with time, there is also a website around that shows how to improve the feel of the trigger, nice choice in guns!

[SIXTO]

Do some dry firing and some dead round drills, that should solve your low and left problems.

Yeah as I looked at the diagnostic target it looks like I am squeezing the gun while shooting and jerking the trigger. It will get some work, thanks for the advise Sixto as always you are more than helpful.

There is a link over on the M&P Forums that give directions for doing a trigger job on the M&P guns. Here is a link to the forum thread.

I had one in my hand last week at a gun shop.

Sweet !

Compact version in .40 was $529.00

Time to start saving up again.

Harley stuff or gun stuff is always a tough choice for me.

Nice when a new handgun works well for you right out of the box.

The full size goes for around $700 plus tax up here.

The M&P is becoming greatly popular, so much so that I can't find a sinlge place on the net to purchase 17 round 9mm mags. Kudos to Smith & Wesson.

My first handgun was the Springfield XD9SC (yes, I'm a young pup). I thoroughly liked that gun. I am really curious if the M&P were out then, would I have chosen it over the XD? I've recently added a M&P9 full-size to my collection and am still breaking it in. I think it will end up a very promising and reliable firearm. (I'm still one of Browning's disciples in the 1911!)

Here are some pictures of my S&W M&P .40c. This is a very nice gun. I traded my Glock G27 for it and I am not sorry at all. It is a great shooter. I also like that it is made in the USA!!

Here is also a link to some far nicer pictures than mine!!

I had a very hard time deciding if I was going to pick up a M&P .40 or if I wanted a XD40 or XD45c it was a tough call.
