I am interested in getting an M&P 9mm. The question is which model?

 

The gun would be used for (at first) IDPA SSP and HD.

 

I already have several 15rd mags that I bought when I got a 9c last year.

So at least I don't have to find mags.

 

The models I am looking at and some observations.

 

Pro series full size.

Night sights might be nice for HD, not sure how they work outside or at an indoor range.

 

Pro series 9L

Like the fiber sights and longer sight radius.

 

M&P9 - Full Size, Thumb Safety

Safety would be consistent with other semi's I have, could change sights, trigger as needed.

 

M&P 9 VTAC.

I like the sights, I have read the finish may not be all that durable.

And the .40 may appeal to me in the future.

 

Any opinions, suggestions would be appreciated. Hopefully by current owners

Thanks

I say go for the Pro Series 9L - I have a regular 9L and use it for competition.

i like the mp9 pro L

Will 9c mags work in the full size?

 

you might want to verify that

how about the core option?

I have the CORE in 9L.  LOVE it.  Great shooting gun and you can add optics when you are ready.  Def recommend it.

Will 9c mags work in the full size?

 

you might want to verify that

 

The 15 rounders are full size mags with xgrip.

 

 

how about the core option?

 

Have not seen one to checkout if I would like the high sights.

Might put this on next years list - in .40. (Good excuse for another pistol.)

40 pro full size.

15 round mags no hassle trying to find 15rd 9 mags.

Get a 9mm barrel and mags and you have a 2nd gun.

If you want to meet at Woodland Park, you are welcome to shoot my CORE

Do you like the stock Pro trigger or did you change it to an Apex?

 

 

@ronhonda - Not sure if the barrel change works for ssp.. I'll have to look that up later...

Pro trigger is a little better than the regular M&P... but still sucks.  Go with the Apex DCAEK and don't look back!  Ever since I put the DCAEK in mine, my M&P became my most favorite pistol to shoot.

Do you like the stock Pro trigger or did you change it to an Apex?

 

Mine's non-pro.  Previous owner sent it to Burwell for the standard trigger job.  I like it more than Apex DCAEK.

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. May take you up on it if I don't see one around my area to at least check out.

I prefer the fss kit to the daek or caek trigger. It all depends what your going to be using it for.

Thanks for the responses.

 

Looking at a closer picture on the S&W site. It looks like the Core models

Have the IL? Is that for all the core models? Kind of surprised they have it on

the core but does not seem to be on he Pro or most of the full size.

Not a total deal buster, just doesn't make much sense to me.

 

Hopefully no mag safety ....

The M&P internals are really simple, most of the extras you don't want can be removed or replaced.
