Older guy at our weekly league is selling guns. I ask what's for sale? He's got a M&P 45 full size, four mags, APEX sear kit, Fastfire II and mount. He said he bought it early this year, the box has a born on date of 2013 day 115. He wants $400, I gladly gave it to him. The gun has been used little. The trigger pull is 3 pounds 5 ounces. The gun shot to the left and the rear sight has marks from drifting. The problem was the front sight was off. Once I centered both, it shoots great. I'm guessing he couldn't get it to shoot straight and got rid of it. This is my first S&W, I always thought it would be a revolver.

You did absolutely wonderful!
They are great guns and the 45 is King of the M&P Line. Try some Atlanta Arms 185Gr Match JHP's in her and for defense NOTHING beats the Remington Golder saber...... Nothing. cp |

GREAT BUY!!!! You never hear anything bad about the .45's. Best polymer .45 ACP guns on the market.

I love mine, I carry it and use it for 2/3gun matches.
APEX DAEK and polymer trigger and XS standard dot sights I paid $500 for it new last year with 2 mags.

Good grab... I've got north of 25k rounds through mine and it's been extremely accurate and reliable. You'll love it.

Golden Saber is better than ball, but certainly not a top choice. |

I carry HST's in my 45c and issued Gold Dots for duty. |

You got a really nice deal, most of the people in my neck of the woods that are selling(or trying to sell
 ) want damn near as much as I could buy a new one for.

Man that is a heck of a deal! I love my M&P40 is a fantastic gun, once the triggers have been fixed the guns themselves are as good or better than my Glock. They certainly fit your hand better.
