I'm a M&P40 newbie who just bought one tonight and can hardly wait to try it out.

According to the fired casing envelope it's dated 10/04/2007 so it's only 2 weeks old.

My serial number is in the MPW9*** range if anybody is keeping track of numbers and mfg dates.



I also signed up for the 2 free mags and range bag deal from S&W...what a deal.

Who has the best deal for additional mags ?



I also own a Sig P229R in 40, how do think it will compare as far as accuracy and recoil ?



Anyway just saying Hi from St. Louis.

Mags? The M&P store, associated with this forum seems pretty good.



I got a couple spares from the for-sale forum, someone got them for free and didn't want them.

Much more muzzle rise with the P229. The M&P .40 is the only .40 pistol I have really enjoyed shooting. The combination of low bore axis, beavertail and polymer construction make it the softest shooting .40 I have ever fired. Allows me to make quick and accurate shots better than any other .40.

welcome, in the beginning mags were cheap, i got a extra for 28$



now they are close to 35$ or so...

the 2 free is a steal *i didnt get*, i got the range bag and it was awesome

Welcome to the site....enjoy

I shot the M&P40 for the first time this weekend, put 400 rounds through it will ZERO malfunctions.

So kudos to S&W for a excellent product, I hope they make a dent in the LEO Glock sales.



It's odd in that it has less muzzle flip and perceived recoil than my Sig 229 in .40. It balances really well and the trigger is great. I'm very pleased with my purchase and looking forward to the 2 free mags and bag from S&W.

Welcome, consider yourself blessed 2 Magazines and the Range Bag? I bought mine in July I only qualified for the Range Bag.

Where is the deal for the 2 mags and a range bag. I only got the coupon for the two mags. I just bought mine today as well?

It's two separate coupons this is the one for the range bag, it's good until 10/31/2007.

The one for the two mags is still on S&W's website.

2. the M&P will recoil less than the sig, the sig will probably be more accurate

You are going to love the M&P

I have shot a hand full of 40's, and own two, and the M&P 40 is the easiest to shoot (lowest recoil). IMO if it is easier to shoot you will be more accurate. Plus very few people can shoot as good as their gun, so I was never that worried about which one is more accurate.

 

[Steelshooter]

They seem to be picking up LEO sales pretty quickly for such a new pistol. I don't know that Glock has anything to be concerned about though. At least not yet.

I shot the M&P40 for the first time this weekend, put 400 rounds through it will ZERO malfunctions.

So kudos to S&W for a excellent product, I hope they make a dent in the LEO Glock sales.

Welcome and congrats on your new M&P.

Where do you shoot?

Your down in the city. Do you shoot at the Bulls Eye indoor range ?



Since I live 9 miles from the Busch range that is where I usually go.
