I love this gun. It is a perfect size for me and easy for me to conceal carry with. I have never had an issue with it and it goes bang every time.

Overall, satisfied with this pistol. I have not shot it as much as others, as I am not sure how it fits into my needs. I have put about 1,000 rounds through it, without issue. I like how it takes the larger-capacity magazines of the full-sized model and the grip is very comfortable. Everyone talks about the poor trigger and the need for aftermarket parts, don't fall for this! The pistol will do just fine on its own!

I am a Deputy Team Commander for a joint military/federal law enforcement DA (direct action) unit. While better than 60% of state, local and county PD's use Glocks, M&Ps are catching up for policing in the U.S. However, at the federal level, HK and SIG are pretty much the standard. That being said, there has been much debate over the "trigger unit" of the M&P45/45c. Gritty, poor reset, etc. This particular weapon has a production date of 6/30/2015. I purchased it 2 weeks later on 7/11/2015. I don't know what the earlier production models were like, but this weapon has a 4.7lb trigger pull, and is as smooth as my M&P 5" CORE Performance Center that I shoot IPDA and military matches with. Smith & Wesson has "dramatically" improved the factory trigger, and I see no reason for the APEX trigger kit. Concealabliity (with extended grip or the flat floor plate magazine) is excellent. This is a Military/Law Enforcement weapon; its supposed to be rugged. If you use it along those lines, its fine. But if your looking for a range-day only, precision "safe queen", than this M&P45C (even with this new and improved trigger) is not the weapon for you. MAJOR, USMC

What can I say, it's a typical M&P. It works perfectly and hits the target. I took it to the range today and put 100 rounds through it without a problem--no FTE or FTF. The trigger is actually pretty good, and I was doing double taps with no problem at all. It took about 10 rounds to get used to the M&P sights since I'm used to Glocks and then I was hitting as accurate as a .45 can be. It feels really good in my hand and is only a bit larger than a Glock 19, so this could be a possible CC weapon. In my opinion, this is the best compact .45 on the market.

An excellant experiance buying from Bud's. I purchased this via electronic check and even though it took a few more days to process, it was worth it to get the cash price. Shipping was second day air to my FFl and it was packaged very well, arrived with no damage. Initial inspection.....flawless, no damage or problems. Upon deeper inslection and breakdown at home, once again....flawless. Next day at range put sixty rounds steel cased through it without a hiccup. Accuracy out of the box excellant, took me a magazine to figure the trigger pull as I am more used to a 1911. I would say the pull was 5.5-6lbs, not bad and none of the grinding felt as others may have experianced. I do believe the trigger will smooth out after more range time so I will hold off on any trigger mods. This will be my EDC now as it is slightly smaller than my 1911 but suprisingly it had a bit of heft to it with a loaded magazine. Nonetheless, this is an outstanding weapon from an equally outstanding Buds Gun Shop. Thank You.

Ordered the S&W M&P 45 compact. Love it. Very accurate right out of the box. I have put over 400 rounds through it without any malfunctions.

Was everything I expected shoots great looks good and an easy DCR (Dis-assembly, Clean, Re-assembly). Only down side is either until its broken in good, or your get a trigger job, the trigger is a little gritty and is not smooth.

This was my first handgun purchase and I couldn't be more satisfied. The customer service is top notch. I love this gun. I have put about 300 rounds through it since late December and it has performed flawlessly. Minimal recoil for a 45 auto. It is a bit heavier than i expected but i think the weight helps eat the recoil. If you are looking at this gun and thinking about purchasing it, do it. You wont regret it. It is american made and it has a lifetime warranty. And damn, its a Smith and Wesson.
