After two trips to the range I really like this gun. I feel it is reliable, accurate and would make a very good CCW. I really like the "1911" feel in the hand and the fact that it comes with 3 back straps so you can easily customize it to your particular grip size. Bud's purchase and service was great - as usual. What I don't like about this gun is the fact that it comes with two 9 and 1/2 round magazines! At first, I thought it must be me because I could not get the 10th round to load in either magazine. After reading about this issue on the net some individuals felt that the springs would probably loosen up over time. So, I completely compressed the spring/follower on one magazine over 1000 times. After all that the 10th round would still not go in. Others on the net said it won't go in unless you use an Uplula loader. Then I found utube videos that showed how to shorten the magazine spring and the follower legs to allow the 10th round to load. Bottom line is - had I known about this issue I doubt seriously that I would have purchased this gun. I have never encountered this problem with any of the Beretta, Glock or Sig double stack magazines that I have. And don't think for one minute that S&W is not aware of this issue because some of the posts I found complaining about it went back several years. So, potential M&P buyers - if you are satisfied with 9 rounds or like the idea of having to carry a tool around to load your magazines to their design capacity then so be it. For those of you who are not - consider this my heads up.
