I upgraded to this gun from my S&W SD-40. This one is much more fun to shoot, and with the shorter trigger pull, I feel I can be more accurate. I like the safety, because I feel less like I will accidentally shoot myself. Very nice gun and a great price.

Great weapon. It’s easy to break down for cleaning and I’m enjoying shooting it at the range. I shot 55 rounds and not one jam, so that is good.

After 500 rounds it seemed that the usual complaints about a creepy/gritty trigger were more than justified...HOWEVER, the reliability, accuracy, and ergonomics were butter, butter, and BUTTER!!! It's no wonder that the M&P 40 is so highly regarded.

400 rounds later & not a single hangup yet! Eats & spits out everything I feed it. Buds was awesome, this was my 1st online buy & they made it very easy. Highly recommend the M&P40, in fact, I bet my life on it!

Ok. Buds is awesome! It took longer than I wanted but that was due to the method of payment more than anything. Just remember when paying with a check, it could take up to 7 days before it ships. My FFL was SIERRA 1 GUN WORKS. Bottom line, he's awesome. He's awesome. He's damn aweome. I can't wait to get in going on the range!!! Which will be in 3 days!! It's gonna be bad ass!! Thanks Bud's. Y'all are a life saver. I'll be getting my AR soon to become certified in that as well. I plan on spending more moolah with you guys and gals.

This was my first purchase from Budsgunshop.com. (Smith & Wesson M&P .40) Their prices are very reasonable!! I was impressed with the fast shipping of my firearm. I will continue to do business with Budsgunshop.com

I bought this 7 months ago and its been great. shots true, and feels balanced in your hand. I know some people think that a 15 round clip is heavy for a hand gun but this one isnt at all. buds was great to work with.

The Smith and Wesson M&P 40 is an excellent firearm in any caliber for that matter. What stuck out for me was the versatile controls (im a south paw). The recoil is minimal for a 40 caliber. The ergonomics on the M&P is the best ive felt even better than a Glock. I carry it as my self defense ccw pistol definitely recommend it to anyone looking at it. For a 40 15 1 is more than enough still light as ever. The grips are the best ive seen not to aggressive not to slick. Sights are good (metal) for the price you cant go wrong especially with Smith and Wesson. As for buds excellent service fast shipping.

Keep in mind this particular model number is the version WITH THE THUMB SAFETY. Did not realize until I picked the gun up from my LGS. Shoots well, the m&p40 literally feels like your shooting 9mm, no snappy or harsh recoil. Mine has a 12/14 test fire date. Ive only had it a week and put 150 rounds through it, not enough to give a comprehensive review, but no issues thus far, which is a good sign. Also dropped a stock 9mm barrel from another FS M&P9 I had, and had no isses shooting 50 rds about 10 yds, Acceptable accuracy, no failures, seems gtg.

The M&P 40 is a fantastic weapon. Accurate, reliable, and handles the recoil of the .40 round very well.

One of my favorite guns. This is my second MP 40 and so far it's proving to be just as reliable as the first. The backstraps can be a pain to change out when new (the pin is really tough to pull out) but unless you plan on changing them on a regular basis it's not a big deal. The thumb safety is a nice size, not too big, not too small and clicks on and off without needing too much pressure. It operates just like a 1911 thumb safety (up is ON). It's a simple trigger bar block type safety unlike the more complicated mechanism on the FNH handguns that disconnects the trigger. The M&P series is well built, American made, and has a lifetime warranty backed by one of Americas oldest gun manufacturers.

I must say budsgunshop has a huge variety of firearms, and from what I experienced very good prices and have used them as a price index to know, if I am getting a good price at my local stores. The handgun m&p was a firearm that I always wanted to have And the M&P series has long been admired and from persons that I have talked to have appreciated and revere this handgun, since it came out to the market. I have wished I've got this handgun sooner. Now, as good as buds is they need to work electronic transfers and processing orders more quickly. however, when they ship your product they ship your prpolite Customer service is great and they are polite. buds with their prices on firearms they are doing there best to make sure some one like me with my budget can own a quality firearm. Thank you budsgunshop!

I bought this pistol about 6 months ago and I love it. I sold my S&W Sigma .40 to a friend and bought this to replace it. The weapon shot amazingly accurate right out of the box. I haven't had a jamb or a fail to fire with well over a 1000 rounds through the barrel. It's a snap to break down and clean unlike other pistols I own. I would recommend this fine pistol to anyone who want's to shoot .40 caliber.

buds was easy and painless like every one says , I am new to hand guns and it was hard to chose the right one, smith and Wesson was a easy chose and the pic does not do it is more flat black like boots , the recoil spring is like 20 pounds but for a 40 cal I think it will make it nice like a 9mm I got it on pic alone and 2 15 round mags but it feels so good in hand my dad said if I ever sold it e would buy it in a hearty beat, that is not like him so he was impressed and that's hard to do im happy and if I had the money I would pay for two more that's how good it is smith and Wesson mad a fine firearm and im glad I did not get a glock ,iv seen them and held them before but you can tell the m&p 40 has the better craft men ship between the two the motto is trust in you hands and when you need a tool to complete a task you turn to the right tool and for home defense I turned to the right tool if I ever need it. better to have a tool and not need it then to need the right tool and not have it thanks buds and smith and Wesson for the right tool for the task.

I purchased my first firearm from Buds a couple of weeks ago, I had put the S&W 40 cal on layaway and was able to pay it off very fast. Buds provided a way for me to purchase my first firearm without putting out all the money at once. In these days of economic stress, Buds made it easy and painless. The whole transaction went off without a hitch.I received my weapon a couple of weeks ago in perfect condition. I have been to the range twice already and cant get enough, this weapon is great!!!!!! I give Buds an A+.. Thank you Buds ...now its time to get an AR...Thanks again .....USMC vet..

This is my CCW gun which replacing my Glock 23 for 2 reasons: fully supported barrel, and thumb safety. Got this when horror went on about 6 months ago. Nice gun to get job done. When I first got this, the trigger pull was weird because there was a "fake trigger point" feeling before the real firing point. I cannot shoot accurately with it. So I sent it back to S&W. Great customer service from SW. They told me it was because the thumb safety (which was newly added on feature) that touches the slide when trigger was pulled. So they smooth out the touching part. And since then, I LOVE this gun. It's hard for me to love any polymer gun (maybe a HK?), but this is a really sweet shooter after their work. And my 15 yard grouping reduced from 6" to 2" immediately. Once again, it's not Buds' fault. This is a good gun with minor birth pain.

Very nice pistol. I got this for my home defense/range gun. Put Apex DCAEK trigger kit with TRU GLOW TFO sights. Great gun to shoot!
