I held one for the first time this past week and just got to dry fire it. I was extremely impressed and plan to pick one up as soon as I am able to in 9mm. S&W sure got it right with the M&P!

I have not seen a 9mm yet but planning on taking a serious look at one. One question I have is the operation of the slide release. Does the slide release automatically if you insert a loaded magazine after the slide was locked back after the last round fired?

On my .40 model, the slide releases automatically when you slam a mag in. A simple admin style mag insert wont release the slide.

 so when you insert a loaded mag into the pistol the slide falls forward and loads the first round. just by inserting the magazine. that does'nt sound right, or safe to me

My concern is consistency. I shoot some IDPA matches. I see the advantage of the slide releasing with a mag insert. It would be a disadvantage if I'm accustom to the release and then it does not if I didn't "slam" it in hard enough. |

I've seen lots of handguns that do this. I've read of Glock shooters using the technique consistentley, and I do the same with my Baby Eagle. |

I dont see any safety concerns with it. I do believe Smith actually designed this feature to aid in faster reloads. |

I've shot and/or owned a bunch of S&W autos. 9's, one or two .40's and a few .45's. I never had one slam the slide forward when inserting the magazine.

I have two Glocks a 17 and 35 and both consistently close the slide when a loaded mag is slammed home. We are not talking about inserted firmly but slammed in and I love it. I use to shoot a good bit of IPSC and not having to adjust my grip was a huge advantage to me personally. I see no safety issues, I shot Glocks for a long time before I noticed someone do it in a match and I asked how he modified his and he said he didn't just slam the mag in real hard with the muzzle pointed slightly up. The next time I went to the starting line I locked the slide back and slammed a mag in and presto the slide closed and I was ready to go, been doing it every since. I really have to slam the mag in the G17 for it to work consistently, but it does not have nearly the round count of the 35.

I just looked at an MP9 at the Cheaper Than Dirt store in Ft Worth.
All I can say is that my Glock 17 is in imminent danger of going bye bye. Compared to the MP9 the Glock feels like a brick in my hand, where the MP feels as good to me as any handgun with any grip ever has! |

Smith and wesson designed the M&P's Slide to automaticly close when a mag is inserted. Here is why it does it. If you remover the Mag and lock the slide back manually. main word being MANUALLY and then reinsert the Mag the slide will not close unless you hit the latch. Now say you just shot your clip after we have loaded it, now the slide is locked open by the last shot. drop your Mag and insert another loaded one and the slide AUTOMATICLY closes This was done to take strain off shooters in a life and death shoot out between bad guys and the good guys |

My M&P 9mm will not close when reloading with a magazine, even after the slide is locked back after emptying one. Consequently, I prefer that it doesn't slam home automatically. |

How is it not safe? If you don't want the gun to be ready to fire, don't stick a freaking magazine in it! If you want to load a mag but keep the chamber empty, don't load at slide lock. Lots of guns behave this way when you slam a mag in. |

According to the local "Glock armorers", Glock Inc. actually teaches the slide releasing with a stout slap to the base of the mag as a "feature" of the pistol.

My G35 does that but I never noticed if my other models do that |

Congrats on the new pistol. NOW, where are you thinking of getting your mags from?

I was hoping to order some additional mags when I order my M&P 9mm. As for the slide chambering a round when I slam the mag home, GOOD; I'm used to it happening with my Glocks so I'm glad the M&Ps do it as well. Less of a transition

Their website appears to only be offering 10 rders. Is that all they will give to the general public?

What have you guys been paying for the 17 round capacity M&P 9MM? How about mags? I just purchased mine yesterday locally for $499.00. Damn seven day waiting period. Can't pick it up till next Wed even with a CCP.

I paid $469 for the M&P 9mm. As for mags, they're out of stock everywhere I've seen, and they're running $32 or thereabouts. That's the huge and only disappointment with the M&P, the price of mags sucks....that is if you could find them to begin with.
This will I'm sure be remedied in the future, but unless MecGar or someone starts making mags, they'll remain expensive. |
