Hi,
My name is Lin and I was a Glockaholic, but I think the M&P9mm has cured me!
I shot one at the S&W demo bay at the Carolina Cup on June 4th.
Took the S&W representative's word that it is IDPA SSP legal.
Purchased one on June 23rd.
Field stripped it to clean before shooting it and discovered it is actually a true single action and therefore should only be IDPA legal in ESP.
Went to the range and put 300 rds. thru it on the 24th.
The M&P is head and shoulders above any of my 4 Glocks!
I have ordered a Comp-tac locking paddle for it for me and a pink Ready Tactical dropped-offset ladies holster for it for my wife, along with 2 mag pouches for each of us from Ready Tactical.
Also ordered a Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight for it that I will have to hand fit since they are not yet making one that will fit without modification.
I'll post pictures after I get the sight installed.
I've been shooting IDPA since June '98, and been a match director since May, '01. I'm classified as EX in SSP and CDP and SS in ESP. I'm sure I'll bump up to EX in ESP the next time I shoot the classifier now that I have the M&P!
If any of you are ever around Lexington, KY on the 3rd Saturday of the month, come and shoot IDPA with us. http://www.IDPAatBGSL.com
I was really happy to find this site and look forward to being able to share info with y'all.
