It's my go-to, I have an M&P9 and Shield9 as well. 9c is my primary carry, I absolutely trust it.

People bitch about the size, but I think it is really sensible. S&W did exactly what everyone wanted with those guns (G26 and G19 could be a tad bigger). Some people would bitch about a tit job if the tits were too big and round these days.
There is no pleasing you people.  |

Same reason Glock 43 is getting shit on vs Shield.
Their competitor already made the clearly better product. It's not a bad little pistol but the 19 is the perfect (size) midsize handgun. ETA and the trigger is better too

It's my primary carry. I love it and the trigger is great for a factory job, IMO. It is one of the newer generations, that have the improved trigger, so I can't comment on the older ones.
I never have been able to like Glocks, but I can understand why people do. The M&P feels better and more aesthetically pleasing to me. The mags are more expensive, but I'm used to buying Sig mags, so...... |

I got one a couple months ago to be my new carry gun.
I, personally, have never had a malfunction with it. That said, my fiance has fired exactly 3 rounds through it, and 2 of them were jams, so it is apparently very susceptible to limp wristing. Not sure how I feel about that yet.  |

Still have a Shield, but carrying a G19 and shooting IDPA with a G17. 9 and 9C are both gone. |

Simply because there isn't a loud, annoying chorus of overly represented Internet fanbois, doesn't meant the M&P 9c isn't an excellent, popular, and highly regarded pistol. Same goes for the M&P.40c.

I love my M&Pc. I just took it out yesterday. It's newer production so the trigger is fine for me. It's accurate, more concealable than a G19 (for me), and has a great capacity for its size considering the flush fit magazine. I'm kind of surprised S&W hasn't engineered the magazine base with the finger extension to hold an extra round or two.
Right now, my current edc is a Kahr CM9. I don't dislike it, but I definitely want another Shield. I only have a Raven for the M&Pc slams no OWB carry for me unless I have some layered clothing. With the Texas summer upon us, I really need an AIWB for it. Right now, it's on nightstand duty with a TLR-3 attached. |

In the never ending quest to find the G19 killer, why isn't the M&P 9C at all popular? People love the shield and the full size duty M&P, but I never hear shit about the 9C.... And for the record I do own glocks (no 19) and no M&P, but I don't hate M&Ps.... Get a 19 and you will know why the Compact is not worth it. It is roughly the same size, less rounds, and to me seems wider than necessary. Its not a bad gun, but it does nothing the G19 does. |

I think the trigger probably is the reason, although mine isn't too bad (some seem to be better than others). I personally shoot it and the Glock 19 about the same running some basic drills. Since my wife tried my 9C I have lost it though and when we have been out shooting I have become aware that I actually do the best with my 2.5" S&W 19 (now this is using mid level 357 loads, haven't tried the firebreathers in it for a long time) and the difference is reasonably significant too.

I absolutely love mine. for those of you experiencing stovepipe especially with women shooters it has to be the individual women. I have had women from the ages of 14 to 65 shoot my 9c and absolutely love it with zero malfunction. granted I have shown each one of them how to keep from limp wristing so that may be why I don't have the same experience.

EDC'd a 9c for several years, very comfortable to carry & shoot and reliable w/anything I fed it. The only reasons I changed were the short light rail (too short to accept my preferred APL) and extreme difficulty using the slide lock as a slide release (I'm old-school).

I thought the m&p.45c w/thumb safety was the answer to my carry prayers until I fondled one. It doesn't fit my hand or point as naturally and the G19 which has the worn bar of soap feel.

I own one, like it and shoot it quite a bit. I also own a G19. The G19 gets more usage mainly because I've owned it much longer.
When I first bought my (brand new) M&P 9C the f'n Magazine Disconnect Lever fell out the second I took it out of the box. It also had a thumb safety (couldn't find a version with no safety locally) and the Frame Blocks to fill the gaps if you remove the thumb safety were impossible to find online. I called S&W to get an RMA for the Magazine Disconnect Lever issue and asked if I could purchase a set of the Frame Blocks while it was in for warranty service. The representative on the phone said they don't do that for liability reasons. When I packed the gun up for the warranty repair, I stuffed a bunch of candy in the box and left a note kindly asking for them to remove the thumb safety and add the Frame Blocks. Sure enough, when I got it back the thumb safety was in a little bag and the frame blocks were installed. Thousands of rounds later it has been flawless.
