They are very nice! Mine I used for work (iwb) with a g19. Even with a muffin top I never noticed it was there. My friend also had his built for 226 with a surefire x300 attached. He said that he doesn't notice it either.

Well worth it for an SBR.

They also have a 6.5" barrel with 9.5" muzzle break, MPX-C. This allows you to have the gun and shoot it while you wait on your suppressor sleeve.

Congrats on passing with flying colors! I am interested in pursuing my chl as well as my first handgun purchase. I need to get to the range and try a few out. The M&P is definitely on my list to test fire.

What is yours chambered in? (nvm, I looked at the bigger picture that you attached and see that is is the 9c)

What factors came into play in deciding the caliber?

Capacity, "stopping power", cost of ammo, what you shoot best.

Thanks for the responses. That jives with what I have read in researching the topic. So long as you can put sufficient lead on target (9mm,.40,.45) all will do the job. And there is no substitute for trigger time.

I just noticed that the M&P Shield has a safety, I guess that is a new feature? Mine is tha M&P 9c no safety, why would you want a safety on a carry gun like that? Not like its a 1911

The only gun I have with a safety is my AR

I love my Kahr's trigger. So much better than the glock or M&P and I love Glocks

I hate guns with safeties. The only safety anyone should ever use and rely on is their finger.
