5 inch M&P 9, with the typical Pro Series work.... It is sooooooo callling my name.

 

thank goodness I am out of permits.... Unless someone is interested in an Hk 45 or Smith Model 66-3? I think that is what I have.

If you plan on never doing any trigger work or changing sights.... then go for it.

 

Otherwise..... just get the 9L and either do APEX internals or send for trigger job and pick the sights you want.....

 

I am going to get a 9L ......

 

General consesus is APEX internals > Pro internals

Somebody call the CDC.

 

Smithillis is becoming pandemic throughout the NJ shooting community.

 

We need to identify patient zero. I believe it's Troy.

Maks lose the HK 45 and get the Smith.

I like both but I dont think Id give up the HK for the M&P. Especially as it seems the smith is suffering some reliability issues lately....

Maks I do not have one in 9MM I ahve the 40.

Only 2 issues that I know of.....been on the M&P forum for awhile....

 

1. Rust issues on the slide on the early ones - Poor adhesion of the Melonite finish ( yes, mine is one of them). S&W has corrected the issue, the 9L or Pro were never involved.

 

2. Striker breaking on guns that people tend to Dry Fire a lot. Todd G did a torture test - 50,000+ rounds M&P Torture Test

 

S&W is now on a 3rd Gen striker..... issue is now gone. Plus I dont doubt APEX will come out with one....

 

I have 5000+ rds thru mine.... ZERO issues

Textbook example of damning with faint praise.
