I haven't fired it yet but it loads up RIP G2 ammo without a hitch. Very smooth. It looks beautiful and it's lighter than I expected. So far I'm very happy with my purchase. Haven't shot it yet though. So if I can, I will add to this review after I have had a chance to go to the range. The only bad thing I could possibly say about it is it took a little longer to get here than I expected. As long as it shoots well, it will officially be my favorite pistol at this point. I have a Sig P226 .40 caliber and 357 sig., a Rock island 1911 45, Glock 42 and a Glock 20. Not that I don't like my other firearms. They're all great at their purpose and caliber.

Great shooting 9mm pistol. Feels good in my medium sized hands. Points well naturally. I personally like the M&P series better than Glocks for the most part. The grips feel better to me and the pistol isn't as blocky on the slide. Never had one malfunction so far in 500 rounds using several types of ammunition. Accuracy is adequate for this type of firearm. Slide is easy to rack. Trigger pull is smooth with not a lot of creep. Around 5 lbs trigger pull. Magazines fall freely when mag release pressed. Down side is that my pistol was supposed to come with night sights. The front sight was a regular sight. Called Smith and Wesson and returned the pistol. Two weeks later the pistol was returned with the proper sight. For me the Smith M&P is one of my best shooting pistols because it fits me well. For example my Beretta 92f 9mm doesn't shoot as well for me due to the heavy double action first shot and the grip being a bit too big for my hands. I have grown to like striker fired pistols that have the same trigger pull for every shot. No safety on this pistol. I hate any kind of a safety on a pistol.

I own 6 M&P 9MM's and every one of them has a barrel that doesn't fit the slide properly. So if you're looking for a gun that will shoot a respectable group, this is not the gun for you. I contacted S&W about it and they told me that nowadays all they do is assemble parts which was his answer for the sloppy barrel fit. I hate to say it but S&W used to be a high priced manufacturer of quality guns, they are now a high priced manufacturer of cheap sloppy guns. Being an expert marksman I have purchased an aftermarket Semi-Fit Drop-In barrel which made this gun shoot one hole groups. Telling that to Smith & Wesson my reply is that essentially they don't have time to make a good fitting gun anymore. S&W guns aren't worth their high price anymore as their quality is not there anymore. S&W said that they no longer have enough experienced gunsmiths to make the good guns they use to make.

brilliant gun. incredibly accurate. the gritty trigger problem is easily fixed with an apex kit and a file in the safety release. took about 30 minutes for both. done. you won't regret it.

awesome gun. That about sums it up. shooting steel plates at 75+ yds.

I ordered my M&P9 Pro on Wednesday and picked it up on Monday morning. I went to the range the following day and fired 300 rounds and had no problems at all. I did not expect to any anyway. The guns shoots great, nice tight groups. This gun also feels nice in the hands, There was no need to change the back straps for me. If you are on the fence about buying this gun as I know I was, buy it. I have no regrets. Also this was my first purchase with Buds and it was painless and will buy again.

Great transaction. Look forward to doing business with Buds many more times. Great handgun. Everything I expected from a quality firearm and a quality retailer.

The night sights were awesome, I never had a single jam or malfunction. It also feels really great in the hand. However the gap between the slide and frame was a huge turn off for me. You could see clean through the slide to frame fit and that made me question its durability. Sold it a few months after owning.....

After firing 300 rounds consisting of inexpensive range fodder to high quality personal defense ammo, the pistol has performed perfectly. I'd recommend this model (M&P 9 Pro) to anyone looking for an excellent 9mm pistol with a good trigger and night sights.

This my second gun I have bought from BUDS and my first S&W. This gun shoots better and more accurate then my XDM feels perfect in my hand. I hit what I am aiming at like I have been shooting it for years. I like it just as much as my Kimber.
