i have owned, only 1911 type CF autos. i have a govt ser70, a SA 1911, and a para-ordinance, (and a BHP) . i was at a local gunshop, and decided to look at the XD's, seemed nice, (never liked the feeling of a glock),but a friend pointed out the M&P45. it felt much better than the XD, and the price was right, $499. i have taken out shooting once, and it is great. which is hard for me to say, because i never trusted, polymer, or aluminum frames. plus the m&p has a stainless slide that is flat black coated. now i want a compact version for ccw.

Nice, I love my 45 compact. Enjoy and pick up some Apex parts. That's next on my agenda.Jonah -
IMO M&P is (was) the most underrated pistol ever... When I first shot one I knew I had to have it and ordered one the next day... to this day I state I like it better than my USP.
I'm not positive, but I think the M&P was the first to offer configurable back-straps - it's very accurate and problem-free...
I'm not convinced on the Apex parts - only because most posts I see are typical internet regurgitation (many of which haven't shot the configuration) - I have nearly 1K rounds through it and the trigger is fine, as accurate as any pistol I've shot (my other 4 plus friends & rentals) - I dont use my M&P in competition so maybe that's why I'm not sold on the Apex upgrade?...
Anyway - it's my bedside/primary go to gun (out of 7) - I trust my life with it and highly recommend it. I plan to get a 9mm or .40 compact (for cc when I get out of the Western communist block)."Kamala is a radical leftist lunatic" ~ Donald J. TrumpComment

I love my 1911, but I want more than one and can't stomach $1,300+ each, so I've gone to the M&P 45s as well. One's in the 10-day jail, and the other's in the 30+10 day jail.
Folks do rave about the Apex parts, and I'm not thrilled with the trigger on my M&P 9, but I plan to fully break-in the pistols before deciding whether to go with Apex parts, send 'em to David Bowie, or leave 'em as is. I'm really enamored with having a red dot sight on my pistol, so at least one will probably go to Bowie for that work.sigpicJoin the NRA!Comment

Although I don't own one, I was able to run one through some paces and I believe it's the best poly 45 hands down. And that's comparing it to G21SF, HK45 (owned & sold), USP, FN, and others. Highly underrated firearm. MP45 + Apex parts = nirvana.It's the Indian, not the ArrowComment

The M&P 45 is an awesome gun. Reliable, very accurate, comfortable and well made...I have the one with a thumb safety. It is my travel gun when I travel from SoCal back home to NorCal...It is also my bedside gun. I compared it to the Glock and for me it was not close. Comfort, feel, and accuracy it had the glock I tried beat. I owed it to myself to try when I was looking. 600+ rounds and no issues at all. It is my favorite handgun.USA**************************************************USA

This is B.S. as I've never seen people praise Apex's part or service yet had no experience with them, they have a well deserved reputation that they have earned. And what specific upgrades do you have that you think it would only benefit someone in competition? Apex has duty/carry rated parts that I and many others trust their lives with and these same parts are approved by some Law Enforcement Agencies.Last edited by Shenaniguns; 06-01-2011, 1:27 PM.My opinions are my own and do not represent the position of other companies I may be involved with.Comment

Get the apex parts. Stock trigger is crap.
not regurgitating internet hearsay, I've had two m&p's, and planning on purchasing a third. trigger has been crap on both of them, and i've installed Apex parts on both of them. they live up to the hype. I can bet the stock trigger on my third m&p will be crap too, so i'm considering apex parts as part of the purchase price.Last edited by G60; 06-01-2011, 2:40 PM."Any unarmed people are slaves, or are subject to slavery at any given moment." - Dr. Huey P.
