Official Smith & Wesson M&P Handgun Photo Thread!

That's interesting to hear that your Shield shoots better. Wow.

I like that. Is that porting from the factory, or something you did?

Ported from the factory
Just shot the gun can’t believe how nice the gun shoots.
Very little lift when shooting and getting some nice close patterns and a lot of double holes.

Well, I had a gen 1 45acp, and after I got it worked out (dead trigger problems) I shot the crap out of it. My biggest complaint was the mag safety. Wel Santa liked me this year, got a new toy. Waiting for CH Precision red dot plates, I am in no way using plastic plates on this gun. The G3C is my plinker, fun cheap truck gun, just for size reference.

Where did you get the extended mag on the 45

I actually had them from my old 45, these guns take the same mags. Actually, a smart move by S&W. You can get them here, 14 rounds of fun.

You can get mag extensions to make a 10 round into a 13 round here, plus a nice magwell if you want.

Darn. Favorite for the way it looks? Or the way it shoots?

For looks it's the 2.0 5" FDE 9MM. Sharp looking pistol.

For small groups it's the 1.0 Shield 9MM. Small but outshoots the big ones. Just don't understand why the big guns won't shoot like the little Shields.

5" FDE (with an Apex trigger kit and Apex file to fit barrel - and still won't outshoot the Shield). Oh, best groups so far is with the Winchester 124 grain FMJ NATO ammo.

Shield 9MM

I love the way the M&Ps feel/fit in my hand.

Me too (they point like a 1911). 👍

Favorite for the way it feels and shoots. I bought it just for the way it feels and have not had a single malfunction after putting around 3000 rounds through it (many of them steel tulammo). Apex trigger feels absolutely perfect and it's the only pistol of mine that I can hit the 12" gong at 100yd with (probably just because I didn't put red dots on my other pistols). I get pretty good shots out of my revolver and 1911 too but I wouldn't put red dots on them since they are more for historical novelty than practicality. I have 2 Glocks as well and my Smith and Wesson has out-performed them in every way.

NOICE‼ I am looking to install an apex on my 2.0 now.
