Picked up an M&P CORE in 9MM, 5" from Steve at Monmouth Arms.  Steve made the 17 round mags into 15 round mags for me.

 

First shot and the following 200 or so were dead on accurate.  No optic installed yet, just the irons, but the guns just fit right into my hand, the sight picture is excellent and the accuracy is well above par.  I am not as accurate with this gun as with my 92FS, but I have over 10K rounds down the pipe of my 92.  BUT, I would say I am 95% as accurate with this gun, right out of the box.

 

The only thing I am not liking is the lack of a tactile reset point on the trigger.  On all my other pistols, I can feel when the trigger resets.  I could not discern a rest on this gun.  So I just went with a certain release length and only had 1 instance where I failed to reset far enough.

 

But overall, thsi may replace my 92 as my go to gun.

Shelving the Beretta ? Awwww man!

 

 

Nice choice though, the core looks like a cool gun... any plans for an optic and open division ?

Nice gun choice. Other than the 17 round mags that were pinned, can you get this gun with factory 15 round mags or do you need to drop down to 10 rounders? Do you mind saying what you paid? pm is fine if you prefer.

Thanks

I have the core in.40 and love it.

I'm still not sold on witch optic to get, Trijicon or deltapoint.

Was great meeting you too... I'm happy your happy with you Firearm! 

Drop an APEX kit in - you'll love the difference.

S&W makes 15 round magazines for their M&P, but they are an aftermarket part.

That's exactly what i told him

Do these come in a 4-inch barrel size?

Do these come in a 4-inch barrel size?

 

Yes, they do - 4.25 to be precise.

Once I put an optic on the CORE, the 92 will be my iron gun, but probably going to shoot this in iron for a bit before putting the optic on.  Trijicon is most likely to be the sight of choice.

 

I am sure Steve will extend the same price to anyone looking.  He was extremely fair.

Well, patience is not one of my virtues.

 

I put a Trijicon RMR on the CORE.

 

Went to the range and sighted her in.

WOW, so easy to shoot small groups with the optic.  It does take a bit to get used to resighting, but man, what a fun thing.

 

One other thing on this gun.  The slide gets HOT when you put a bunch of rounds downrange.  Once I got over about 100-150 rounds, the slide got really really hot, like too hot to handle. 

pics or it didnt happen.

 

 

 

Gonna shoot open division on sunday? yeh boy!

 

Sounds great.  I was thinking of trading or off loading and AR to fund this....might have to pull the trigger.  I want one in .40.

CJ on a sunday in Summer = NFW

 

OB knockdown on Saturday = probably, but the 92 will be doing work.  No holster yet for the CORE and only 2 mags.

 

Probably see you in the AM
