I finally made it to the range this afternoon to run a few rounds through my M&P compact 9mm.
I am a very happy man. I was only able to shoot about 150 rds. through it, but it was flawless. This gun will probably be my new companion (on my side at all times)!!!
I was shooting my fullsize right beside my compact. The compact is only a little snappier than the fullsize. Recoil is easily managed; and a full range session with this gun won't be painful. Accuracy was excellent.
I think the grip design is right on. There is just enough grip to be comfortable; yet it is easily concealed. I have a Fist IWB; and this gun just about disappears in it. I can conceal it with just a
t-shirt.
The magazine design is excellent. 13 rounds (12 + 1) of 9mm in such a small package is very comforting. I haven't decided which mag I will carry yet. The extended base plate is nice; and it doesn't affect the concealability much at all. I am used to carrying a G26 without an extension, so the regular mag will work for me also. I will have to carry it both ways to see which one I like. Also, the fullsize mags functioned great in my compact.
The only ammo I tried was WWB, Blazer, and some reloads of mine. They all functioned 100%.
I don't know what else to say except I really, really like this gun. I was hoping to have some nice pics, but I just have not had time to take any. I'm going to the range again tomorrow. And then I'm shooting my first match Sunday.
I will be doing some wetpack ammo testing with my compact in the near future.
Stay tuned for that!!! :wink:
