Wow, S&W is going all out with marketing campaign on this one

 

 

 

That frame safety looks near impossible to hit in the heat of the moment unlike the 1911. I'm locked out of S&W's website here at work - can anyone see whether it's Safe Action or other?

 

Its probably the same action as the regular M&P on a narrower chassis. The safety is there because someone was going to ask for it and the normal M&P one would have not worked. Guessing you can ignore it, like you can ignore it on a normal M&P, but who knows.

Knowing the M&P ..... I am sure the safety can be defeated. I am not even worried about it

And yes...... TJ has already received an email from me ...LOL

I was thinking more along the lines for shooting sports classification, truthfully.

It seems nice, but I would probably prefer a Ruger SR9C.

Paul, let us know when you are taking deposits.

I want on w/o the external safety...

Hrm... this may have bumped the nano off my list...

Some info about the trigger and safety at the 7 minute mark

why not just ignore its presence?

 

Because it might be activated when you thought it was deactivated at the wrong time.

would like to see this side by side to the kahr pm9, I think it's slightly bigger. I noticed also the beretta nano is also a little bigger than the pm9, shouldn't these be getting smaller not bigger?

hmmm now springfield has to hurry the fugg up and release the xds in all calibers... tho this will still be like 1/2 the price. hmmm do i want it or do i wait? sitting on 2 permits.

I'm loving that XDs. If the 45acp version comes with different size mags then It's gonna be hard for me to pass up.

 

Another short video

Goes straight into talking points about trigger and safety

More positive, audible reset on the trigger.

S&W will be putting same improvements into full sized m&p in the future

Must see size comparison to my cm9. Also the safety must be removed

Looks like its slightly bigger than the CM/PM. Little wider, longer and taller

The Gunnuts guys tried to "accidentally" activate the safety and they couldn't, FWIW

It's not really worth anything, sorry. Murphy would smack me in the face with that gun.

Leaked right about on schedule.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to another forum but, here are some comparison pics of the shield and Kahr CM9.

Me too. I've got next Wednesday off, guess I'm going to the pd to put in for more permits. I have one left but, that's going to a full size M&P 45.

I think s&w's strategy with this is, according to what I've seen and read, to have a big nationwide release more in line with say how a video game or a movie is released.

When it becomes available it will be available in numbers.

That's why there was no shot show preview(I think)

They wanted to reveal it shortly before it would be widely available.

Unlike the rest of the industry(cough*keltec*cough)

Good on s&w

A few of the guys on the M&P forum already picked em up today.....

what the hell! trying to register so I can see the pics and I can't keep getting the challenge question wrong! it's military & police right?

 

why not just ignore its presence?

 

Because it's not 100% guaranteed to not engage.

Well I'm sure that problem can be solved with a couple of spare minutes, some punches, and some ingenuity. I'm not particularly pleased that they chose to put a safety on it either, but I'm sure it is a solvable problem.

My dealer was supposed to have some yesterday
