I want an M&P9 Pro, it'll be used at Ft. Benning 3 gun this Dec but I also like to shoot some IDPA every now and then.  I might even CCW it some too.
Should I get the 4.25" w/night sights or the 5" with the fiber optic sight?????????  I currently have a 5" on loan from a generous friend.

I bought the M&P Pro (5" with fiber optic sight) for the better sights and longer sight radius. Whichever you buy, also get the Apex Tactical DCAEK trigger kit.

I have both and strongly prefer the 5" with fiber front sight for competition.



ETA: I have both and strongly prefer the 4.25" with night sights for carry.

Well I went out and orderd a 5" today, should be in next week.  I may get a compact w/night sights for carry.

Good choice, the 5" is the only way to go for any gun games.

I'll second the suggestion to go with the Apex tactical parts... I personally recommend just the sear and striker block, using just those two gives a clean trigger with a crisp break and pull weight between the duty/carry and competition kits (approx 4 to 4.5 lbs).  The duty kit is over 5 lbs and the comp kit is sub 3 lbs.  Its given my Pro the best trigger of any pistol I have.

I was a Sig guy till I got to try a M&P Pro during an IDPA match.  I'm a changed man
