After 6 long months (that's how long permit takes in NY), I finally got my first handgun. I walked into the store convinced I was going to get a Sig P226 or P229, but after holding just about every gun they had, I was convinced the S&W M&P 9 was perfect for me. It felt great in my hand and I shot even better with it than I had with SIGs that I've tried before. I'm totally psyched! I got to the range yesterday morning and ran through 150 rounds. I was keeping 2-3" groups at 7 yards. I'm happy to report I had no issues with it whatsoever! For anyone that is considering one, go for it.
The M&P 9c is definitely in my future. Here are the obligatory pics:

I feel bad only 10 round mags.  OP, if you had bought a Glock, you could have found some pre-1994 hi-caps. With the S&W, you are stuck with 10rounds. Other than that, nice choice. I am aware of that. Actually, I had bought a bunch of pre-ban Sig P226, P229, and G19 mags in anticipation of purchasing one of these. But, once I got into the store I let my hands make the final decision. In the end, I'm happy and think I'll get by with the 10 rounders for now. I won't always live in NY anyway. |

Excellent. Congratulations on your new M&P. 
I love mine. It's accurate and reliable. S&W did a great job with this pistol, imo. I got three 17 rd mags with mine here in NC, what's up with the NY 10 rd thing? We still have this lame AWB here. Boo to NY liberals. |
