M&P 45

[wally36]

I made a thread about which 9mm I should buy and it just confirmed my decision of going with the M&P, next I'm going to purchase a 45 and I figure why not go with the M&P in 45 since I love the 9. I'll be shooting one soon but does anyone have experience with one positive or negative?

Aslong as you have shot the M&P and found it the best for you, I'd say hell yeah get the .45 M&P.

They will both work and feel(except recoil) the same more or less. . .

I'd be getting the full size version and most like the the flat earth one.

I had one for about a year. Actually, I had two of them: first with the thumb safety, then without. No problems with either one.

I had one for about a year and half, and sold it to buy the wife a M&P9c.

It is on the short list of pistols that I will buy again / wish I hadn't sold. Excellent feel, great controls and a really smooth shooting gun once you wear the trigger in / have a trigger job done.

If you like the feel of the 9, you'll like the 45. There are 3 sizes of it. The full size, a 4" barrel, and a compact. I owned the full sized one, and would recommend buying the 4" length.

Not exactly.

M&P45 is slightly bigger in all dementions.
most is unnoticable, except grip length(front to back). You can definatly feel the difference.
Also, while S&W maintains that trigger pull weight is same between two. It is NOT the same weight. my M&P9's trigger break at 5.7lbs, while my M&PP45's trigger broke at 9.4lbs.


Easy fix. just send your weapon to http://www.burwellgunsmithing.com/, and get their standard trigger job, and thank me later

I like a more compact gun, and I realize it's only 0.5" it just felt better (to me!). You can't go wrong with any of them really if you like how they fit your hand. Glocks, FNPs (full size in .45) etc are all too big for my hands.
