    Smith M&P 45.

    I recently held a M&P 45 at the store the other day and decided I may just take the plunge. Any of you guys like yours and is it holding up as you expected? I wasnt crazy about the trigger as I've stated before alot, but that aside, I think I could get used to it. I rather liked the serrations and mag release. The texture felt like any other poy gun, which is fine with me quite frankly.

    I own a M&P 45 and 9mm and once a 40S&W. The M&P are unstoppable, Its my preferred carry gun. I have ran almost 1350 rounds thru my 9mm with out one jam of any sort. Make the plunge and you wont be unhappy.

      I don't own one, but if I was buying a 45 it would be a M&P.

        man I'm going back to the range to try out the .40 and .45 if I do just as well with those than the 9mm maybe I'll just get them instead of the 9mm M&P.

          I have the .45 and love it, it eats everything I feed it, even some of my less than perfect reloads and after about 2000 rounds I have not had a single issue

            I own M&P 45....Its a great pistol...Never had a problem with it....I feed it reloads and its pretty accurate....Also when I bought mine it already had a trigger job from previous owner....So no stock trigger for me...

              .40 here, my serial even starts with MP....
              it shoots pretty decent, i have had to replace a few parts and S&W has always shipped me the part free.
              I had some RWS speer and pmc ammo have light primer strikes so they replaced a striker assembly, then recently mags were coming out so they replaced the ambi catch.

              Other than that no problems.

                I would have normally just bought a G21 and said eh 13 rounds of .45 ACP is fine with me, and I dont mind Glocks ergo's except I found I liked the mag release and the sights were very decent. I held the .40 model in my hand longer that day since the .45 was being bought by someone but needless to say I didnt feel like they were that different if at all in grip. Then again I'm just used to bigger pistols.

                What parts did you need replaced Darklyte27? Was this the first issue I heard with the light primer strikes or a more recent one? I'm not worried about a lemon just wondering since I like to have a good idea and stuff.

                Heck 10 rounds of .45 ACP is hard to argue against. I'm still trying to figure out if I want the 4.5/4 inch barrel and/or the safety model. Since its not SA I have a hard time leaning toward the safety model but alot of people have transitioned form 1911's for this thing it sounds like.

                  I have an M&P .45 and it's been nothing but great. My buddies who've shot it love it also. No issues with it after about 600 rounds so far.

                    Also good to hear. I want a black one but damn that FDE one looks good too.

                    I'm not going the APEX route, I think I can live with the stock trigger, the break is better than my Glock but the reset is better on the Glock. Its all minor stuff that in the end I can get used to.

                    I have to figure out if I want the stock novaks or not. I also do not plan to shoot reloads out of this.

                      Very satisfied with my M&P 9FS. S&W has a winner with the M&P line.
                      Looking to acquire a Marlin 336 Texan. Hit me up if you are contemplating getting rid of one.

                            I really like the M&P I actually was almost going to get one last month and then of course S&W announced that they will be having a new M&P out pretty soon, so I am holding off 4 more days until 4/12/2012 to see what the new model looks like.
