Two friends and I met the range Yesterday morning with my new M&P 9, my Walther PPK/S a S&W airweight .357 snubie, a Taurus 24/7 9mm, hungarian Makarov, Walther P38, my AR15, an XD9, a Mosin M44 and a few other toys. With the exception of the sound and light show of some 200gr ammo for the Mosin, my M&P stole the show. We all loved shooting it and ran 100% flawlessly. After 100 rounds I was shooting it better than the Glock that I sold. I had been shooting the Glock for almost a year. One of my friends is now looking at rplaceing his Taurus 24/7 with an M&P of his own.
Overall we ran around 300 rounds through the M&P. It was mostly Remington 115gr FMJ, but we did run some Hornady TAP 147gr JHP (left over from the g17) and some Speer 124gr JHP Gold Dot, to see how it fed defense ammo. I decided to use the 124 Gold Dot for carry ammo in it and bought an extra box to load up a carry mag.
I'm VERY pleased the M&P and have no regrets about getting rid of my G17. If I just convince my wife to trade her XD-9 for another M&P, I'll have it made....
