I am a lefty and am looking for the most lefty-friendly gun I can find. I am down to the M&P full size .40 and the HK P2000 .40. I know and have read about people who swear by both. Besides the $$$ difference, what are some positives about the M&P that would make me get it instead of the HK. I have fired both and they both feel great in my hand. I actually like the slide release better on the M&P than the right-side standard slide release on the P2000. I have heard that the takedown is much easier on the HK (i.e. no key needed), but that S&W product support is topnotch (and much better than HK) and American-made still means a lot to me. These are the kinds of things that will help me choose. Anyway, please knock me off the fence to the S&W side (or the HK side if you're so inclined). I want to make an informed decision, even though I don't think I would regret buying either one. Thanks in advance. Adios.

Don't get M&P40!





























get M&P 9 8)





one thing I can think of is M&P has standard rifling where HK has polyginal...

 

[Jester]

You don't need a key to disassemble. Get one, you'll have less felt recoil with the M&P than the HK

 

[Sgt4474]

You need the MP .40 because it is newer on the market and only the really cool people have them. Just kidding which ever you choose you won't go wrong, I just know that Smith's customer service wipes the floor with HK's.

Although I am not a lefty, I am an M&P fan. I have the .40 in both full size and compact, and I am seriously considering the 9mm for my wife. She tried it at the dealer today, and really liked the feel. I have found the M&P to be a "good shooter" and the S&W customer service is reputed to be excellent (so far, I have 3 S&W pistols, and haven't needed their customer service!) So, I just don't see a downside to picking the M&P!

You better buy that .40 or else.

Get the M&P. I'm right handed but do a lot of weak (left) hand drills. It works great either way. Besides its the best one. :twisted:

I currently carry a P2000 and will be transitioning to the M&P. The P2000 is a great gun. There is no question it will go bang everytime, will feed everything and and eject faithfully. The tapered slide is nice for concealment as is the size IMO. I actually consider the P2000 more lefty friendly. HK has had a sketchy reputation for customer service in the past but they've made changes and it has drastically improved. So that should be a non issue. The M&P competes with my USP for my favorite shooter. Being a relatively new weapon, it is not as proven, but whatever issues the M&P's have had in general, S&W will be sure to work it out. My P2000 is a V3, so what I like about the M&P as a carry gun is the consistent trigger pull from shot to shot. I couldn't convince you either way, just determine which one is going to meet your needs better than the other.

M&P



Light years ahead in customer service if you ever need it.



Just ask around about H&K service and how bad it is.

Ok well I sent in my USP for some work and had it back within a week with some extra work done that I didn't request nor did I pay for. While HK had it, they called me 3 times to keep me posted on its status. I couldn't ask for anything more than that.

The Smith is more shooter friendly. The HK is more reliable.



HK customer service has a bad reputation, but you'll most likely never need to use it.



Smith customer service has a good reputation (although my personal experience with them hasn't been great), but it's more likely you'll need to send them your gun.



I much prefer my Smith over my HK. I am much more accurate with my smith, and it feels much better in my hand.



That said, "Do you want a toilet that looks good, or works well?"



In over 5000 rounds, my HK has never had a failure of any kind.



My M&P has had quite a few failures, and is back at Smith right now after 2000 rounds.





My advice: buy 2 M&P's and carry them both. Almost the same price as the HK, and no worries about reliability.
