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.

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.

I just can't say enough good thing about Buds Gun Shop. As expected, my Pro Serious is perfect size to conceal, it is lighter than my full size 1911. My next pistol will be from Buds also. I am not good as a reviewer, but decided to try it. I have bought 4 pistol from Buds is just phenomenal.

I received this gun today. After inspecting the gun, and checking for any defects, I was impressed with the way the gun feels. It is well balanced, has 3 interchangeable back straps, and take down is a breeze. I do have an issue with the trigger. It is gritty all the way until it fires. I have read that other people have had the same complaint, and I thought theirs was just a fluke. I will wind up buying and aftermarket kit to straighten out the trigger before I shoot because ammo is so expensive nowadays. Smith and Wesson need to read these reviews and make improvements. I paid extra for the Pro version, and I should have purchased the regular version and save the extra money I spent on this one. They are good guns, just not up to the old Smith and Wesson standards.

Great gun was excited to get it. Best price and love the match trigger and the night sights. I have ordered from Bud's 5 times this year, usually runs two weeks to get my items but this one was close to a month. This was an election year and near the holidays so I will forgive them. I will continue to use Bud's as long as I get great prices. Would love to order and receive within a week.

I had some jamming issues out of the box and had to sent it in for repair and the ejector was replaced. I received it back in a week and it has been flawless ever since at 5000 plus rounds! I would buy it again,

The M&P series is are excellent firearms. The 9mm pro with a 4.5 trigger from S&W is a no brainier. However, the only issue I encounter is the stricker block, as u can feel the grittyness. I went ahead and put in a USB and hard sere from APEX tactical to get rid of the gritty ness in the trigger. The trigger pull will be excellent and u won't put it down. So for an extra parts from APEX tacticle you have an excellent quality firearm.

Purchased my M&P 9 Pro at Buds and had it shipped free to my FFL in the Rocky Mtns a week after the E-check cleared the banks. What an awesome deal, and what an AMAZING gun! The finish is exactly what I would expect from a S&W that calls itself a pro model. I had fired a Sigma 9mm and loved the feel of that gun but didn't like the heavy trigger. This gun has a much lighter trigger pull and was worth every dollar! Took it to the range and put 100rds through it after giving it a full cleaning. Even with a 20mph crosswind with 40mph gusts this gun was shooting where I was aiming every single time and did not fail in any way at all. I was able to keep all my rounds on an 8x10 paper at 20yds even when the wind was blowing me sideways! I shot S&B 115gr and Tula 115gr and it definitely liked the higher quality brass better than the dirty russian steel, but was way more accurate than I had imagined it would be with both! I can't wait to see how well I can shoot with some federal premium in it on a calm day 'cuz I already know the gun can shoot better than I can. It's easy to take down and clean and came with the blue plastic S&W case and a spare mag which was definitely a plus. I also like the interchangeable grips - it feels exactly how I want it to feel in my hand and is quick to recover and fire again. The tritium night sights are natural to use and dead-on out of the box. It even works smoothly and comfortably in the cheap nylon belt-holster I already had! I couldn't be happier with this pistol and Bud's service and pricing was exactly as I expected. This is my second purchase at Buds and I will be buying all my guns from them from now on!

Excellent deal on an outstanding pistol. Cleaned and went to the range the same day I received it and fired 150 rds. The gun was flawless and quite accurate! Happy with my purchase!

Excellant - First time buyer - process was smooth and effortless. Product exactly what I expected.

What a great gun! The trigger is gritty, but I am sure that will smooth out after the break in period. It is VERY accurate and the night sight are so cool. Totally recommend this to anyone!

You have no idea how badly I want to give rave reviews to the M&P Pro. Unfortunately, I have to give the one I received a major ding - the trigger! Like other's who spent the extra for the Pro model, I thought the price was more than reasonable for an improved trigger and night sights. Night sights are great, but the trigger is among the worst I've ever felt, and certainly disappointing for a Smith with the Pro tag. It does indeed seem to be fairly light weight, but you have to pull through what feels like a washboarded road to get to let-off. Very gritty. After reading other reviews at multiple sites, it seems this is not an uncommon problem with the Smith trigger, and there are some good resources on how to improve it. So far I have polished the striker block which helped a good deal and makes it at least tolerable. The point is it should absolutely not be necessary on this model. All I can say is, as much as I love ordering from Buds, I will not get another Smith unless I can try out the trigger first. Other than that, I LOVE THIS GUN! Medium grip fits me perfect, great ergonomics, and no FTF's after the first hundred rounds. I would still highly recommend it to anyone, as long as they test the trigger first to get a good one.

I've never said this about a gun, but I feel like I underpaid for the M&P 9 Pro after shooting it. 5 Stars for the M&P 9 Pro Series pistol. I am very impressed by the gun as an entire package. The M&P's backstrap/palm swell system maybe the best out there since it doesn't just add bulk to the back of the gun, it actually makes the grip larger or smaller depending on the insert you use. The addition of a beavertail in the frame as opposed to the Glock/XDm-style of frame is also very welcome. It allows you to get an incredibly high grip on the gun without worrying about getting your hand pinched or bit by the slide during recoil. The trigger has a little bit of take-up but breaks very crisp and clean; it is far more accurate that I will ever be and given some time a person should be able to get some incredible groups out of the gun. Recoil is very manageable due to the M&P's low bore and coupling that with the beavertail a shooter can really drive the gun. I shot my G17 and my new M&P 9 Pro side by side and I had better results with my new M&P over my 17 that I have had for some time. Take down of the gun is a breeze; it comes apart just like the Glock/XDm-series of pistols but a multitool is included in the grip of the gun for those that do not want to pull the trigger to release the slide when cleaning. The take-down tool is my only complaint about the gun; it is located in the grip behind the mag well and is also the pin that retains the palm swell but the tool is incredibly tight and hard to remove. It is a minimal complaint; I removed mine twice to try different back straps and you can shoot the pistol without the tool in it to test the straps. Once you find the one that works for you, the tool goes back in and you never really need it out again. That is really the only complaint I have about the gun, everything else about it is wonderful. I am very much a fan of Glock but the M&P really does take the polymer gun to another level. Mine went from box to range with just a patch down the barrel and a small amount of oil to lubricate. This will not be my last M&P, my only issue will be what M&P to get next. I would easily recommend this pistol to anyone looking for a good 9mm for carry or self-defense or any of the shooting sports. This is going to be my new daily carry piece along with my choice in 9mm for shooting IDPA.

Pistol arrived as advertised and 4 days early. It shipped to one of their preferred dealers and the process was quick & easy. The M&P9 Pro is a high-value firearm that is packed with intuitive features and ergonomics. People have recorded thousands of round without any FTE/FTF. Will buy another S&W pistol and will definitely use BudsGunShop.com! Very impressed!
