S&W M&P9: “Proven Excellence” by Nutnfancy04:33

Declared as an outstanding pistol design in my November 2008 initial tabletop review, the S&W M&P9 now is proven as such in TNP. Much shooting in both range and tactical fashion has only endeared me more to the design. It is a good looking, low recoiling, well-built pistol with excellent ergos. At 28 or so ounces it is still light enough for most service pistol roles, depending on loadout. The sights are excellent low profile Novaks and enable the gun to be shot accurately with good speed. Lefties shoud rejoice because the M&P pistol series feature reversible magazine releases and the low profile slide stop is already on both sides. Field strip is easy and fast although I deem the take down/sear deactivation tool unnecessary. The S&W M&P Pro series gives improvements to the trigger (4.5 to 5 lbs stated) but I found nothing wrong with it as is. From this extensive shooting therefore, I place this M&P9 in the same category of reliability, durability, accuracy, and 2nd type of cool as Glock and Sig. /////////////////////// Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 9.5 out of 10//////// Music: www.torley.com
