Went through a couple hundred more rounds in the old M&P 40 today. After cleaning it I was setting in front of the TV wiping it down, got to thinking how obvious it was that the mag was out. That meant even if I screwed up and left a round chambered it was relatively safe while I was handling it. I like the mag safety, and it's part of the reason I chose the M&P. When I unholster it to show it to someone the first thing I do is drop the mag. Makes me feel better about jacking the round out of it before handing the piece over. the word "Mag Safety" gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
My M&P is for protection. And I practice a lot, I practice to make sure when I need it, all aspects of it will be automatic. That includes disabling it by dropping the mag. The trigger pull is another reason I chose it. If I wanted the trigger pull of a single action I would have got one. I don't want to squeeze off a round just because somebody has the s??t scared out of me and I couldn't tell I was putting 3 pounds of force on the trigger! Part of the practice I am going to be doing in a few weeks is deer hunting with it. Ok, now people are going to say a 40 isn't gun enough. Tell that to all the deer that bit the dust to 22s and arrows.
I like my M&P and I think Smith & Wesson has came up with one hell of a pistol. Takes care of everything I need.
Thank you Smith & Wesson.
