I've been showing my wife your videos and I just want to say that you've helped her with her fear of guns. Thank you for all your videos and all your points about guns and accessories.
i just got 1 of these at a gun show these weekend for a great deal.. haven't shot it yet, but it sure feels great. whats weird tho is that mine doesn't have the manual safety....
Can I ask what kind of powder and how much of that powder you use for your defense reloads? And what OAL? I've been thinking of doing this since I have now run over 600 trouble free gold dot rounds through my 9mm and I'm using WSF powder, pushing them to about 1180 to 1200 fps. I think this should be good enough for a 124gr gold dot to expand and penetrate. Just wanted to see what you thought and what you use. Thanks!
Superb job young lady! I've been trying to convince my wife to pack a little more heat, but she has the same issue with small hands. I haven't checked this 9mm out yet, but it looks like it might be the answer. Packed with goodies too, we love that. Thanks.
I think you did an excellent review on this gun. I recently purchased a Beretta PX4 storm 9mm and I could not deal with the trigger and like you said if the gun does not fit your hand well you shot low and left, so did I. I currently have my gun on consignmet at my local gun store. Cant wait for them to sell it so I can buy the M&P 9mm compact which is an awsome gun.
I'm sure someone else already mentioned this, but if the M& P works for you.Great. Sounds like a good find. However all of the things you mentioned the Springfield Armory xdm model does and then some. No pressing the sear deactivation lever, or pulling the trigger, you simply lock the slide back, flip the takedown lever and release the slide, it comes off that easy. It comes with 19 round mags and mag extension sleeves in the box, changeable backstraps, etc, etc. Did you handle the xdm at all?
had not been interested in M&P pistols until I watched your video review. Gonna check it out next visit to the gun store. Thank you for another excellent review.
Very nice and informative video. My first gun (a Sig 226 Tacops) is still on layaway, but I've been considering an M&P compact for a future purchase once I get my CCW permit. Seeing how well it conceals even on a petite frame like yours might have just sealed the deal. Keep up the great videos!
OK, its been almost a year, how do you still like the M&P9c? I just bought a Glock 26, but the grip is awfull fat for my hand. I can shoot the Glock ok, but I just dont like it...and its butt ugly too, unlike the sexy M&P. Excellet reveiw.
FP love watching your videos, very informative for the person looking to buy and not knowing what to get and for the person to gain a little more knowledge on what they may have. Keep up the great videos!!
great vids... looking for something a little "smaller" for the wife... and btw, just thought i'd mention that you have a killer body! Been wating the other vids and WOW... be safe!
I love this review; it was one of the main reasons I chose the M&P for my carry gun. I also got the Supertuck holster, which I'm still breaking in. I was wondering if you had any opinions on the Smartcarry or Thunderwear holsters? I'm thinking belly carry might be more comfortable for me...
I tried the Smart Carry with my Ruger LCP (380) and it concealed very poorly for me no matter how I positioned it - I showed this and talked about it in my "Concealed Carry Outfits" video. I personally do not find belly carry to be comfortable but I knew several females that do.
First, I gotta say, this is THEEE BEST review of this gun on the web. I am buying my first gun and out of all of the guns I have been looking at and researching, I always come back to this one. This review has pretty much sealed the deal for me partly because seeing you handle it, I know my wife can handle it as well. Got lucky when I called my LGS. They have an "updated" one with better sights and non ambidextrous safety. Also comes with the 17rd mag and grip adapter. $531 after tax good?
Excellent video. Great information here, presented in a very organized fashion. Nice. I'll be subbing right now. (If you have the time to sub me back, that'd be great, btw). And LOL, I thought *I* was the only person dorky enough to pull up their underwear at the 3-4 o'clock position to make it more comfortable behind my IWB gun. Heh. (and I also wanted to keep skin oil/sweat from building up on the gun over time). I have a crossbreed, but don't often use it. (retention too high as yet)
I HIGHLY recommend you look into the Ruger SR9c. Its reliable, has a manual safety, and ambidetrious controls. It comes with a 10 round magazine with two different bottoms for your pinky and a full size 17 round magazine with the extension/sleeve. It also has a loaded chamber indicator :] i own one and its the best:]
This was well done. As someone who is learning the basics of handguns and concealed carry, I appreciate the detailed and non-patronizing explanations. The presenter is intelligent, organized, and a strong communicator.
I like the M&P but in my opinion the closest weapon to a glock's reliability and function is the Springfield Armory XDm, hope you have a chance to check this weapon out and maybe post a video review should you decide to make a purchase. Thanks and love your channel
Thank you for your in-depth and extremely useful review. I've been considering the switch from a G19 edc and this video helped me to metaphorically pull the trigger on the decision!! Look forward to watching more of your videos.
Just got my concealed carry class done and looking forward to my permit in the mail soon! Thanks for all of the videos. They were a swaying factor in me getting my CFP :)
That is awesome, and i love how it can be used by lefty's like me. I was planning on getting the Ruger lcr for conceal carry, but now i may rethink that.
We are grateful for your informative and professionally executed videos. My wife and I stumbled upon your vids while looking for female concealed carry options for her. Thank you. In a couple months, we are both going to obtain our CCW permits!
One question: what kind of grip is on that Glock? I'd like one for my Gen 4 23!
@faliaphotography: understandable they fit everyone differently, jus thought maybe you hadn't tried that yet. I have mine as low as it will go and even in a tight t you can't notice it
Thanks for all your info! Just wondering if you think this would be a good all around gun to use for a first time gun buyer. I am also a petite woman as yourself and would like a gun to carry while walking through the woods and as a home defense weapon.
hey there. are you still liking and carrying the m&p9c? just a trick when you pull that take down lever if you push up on the guide rod (basically pinch the guide rod and barrel together) the lever won't spring back up and gives you a free hand. give it a try! happy holiday!!
I have an M&P 40 and use the 16 shot clip but I find it way too heavy. I'm actually thinking of going to the 9mm compact now that I've seen your video thank you for that
thanks for the xlnt review....when you talk about the safety being optional, does that means it comes with the safety and you can remove it if you like, or do you have to buy/order one with the safety installed. thanks
I don't know why you are comparing the M&P to the glock, no comparison at all, forget the glock! not even close to a comparison, you could compare the glock to maybe a ruger or something else but not this. I own this gun as well and shoots great.
I installed an Apex duty carry kit in mine. Makes the trigger pull better. Also installed XS big dot sights. I'm old and don't see as well as I used to. That front sight is a booger to get out.
Great video, I went to the gun store to buy a Glock and the guy told me the hold the M&P.Well I loved the fit of the M&P better than the Glock so I bought it. I love my M&P40.
Nice review, I must say you are very organized and thorough. With your charts, the video description, everything. Very cool. I'm looking at getting the full size M&P .40 cal, my brother has a Glock and it feels a little blocky to me. I'm thinking the M&P is the gun for me.
If you increase the cant on your Crossbreed it should help it ride lower. I have a SuperTuck for my G19 and I left the rear clip where it was stock, and I put the front clip in the upper-most position, increasing cant, as well as lowering the ride height a bit. I am sure I could lower it more if I raised the rear clip, but it works for me where its at now. Great review I am thinking about the M&P and your review was very informative, thank you for sharing.
love this gun! the .40 version with the additional full-size mag is definitely one of my next purchases. You should handle the Ruger SR9c as well, if you haven't.
Yeah yeah, look all my handguns, this is a 9mm s&w review or this is a video regarding all the shit I have........nothing new, this is just a bitch who thinks she knows everything
These are AWESOME guns! I'm a Glock convert after my Sheriff buddy let me shoot his at the range. He carries a full size M&P .45 on duty and this model off duty.
You're right about the grip. This feels better than just about any other gun I've held.
I am buying my wife one of these for her birthday(proper transfer afterwards). She wanted something more reliable then her Keltek P11. She found this gun was way more comfortable compared to the glocks she tested.
Yeah yeah, look all my handguns, this is a 9mm s&w review or this is a video regarding all the shit I have........nothing new, this is just a bitch who thinks she knows everything
@bsdmon I'd second that- I'm glad to see there is a women out there doing these kinda reviews.... I have a lot of female friends with questions, and men with the answers. It's nice to know I can point them to someone with a woman's prospective :-) I mean I'm 5' 8" @ 120 lbs, as a guy I can still find ways to carry a Springfield XD .45 service pistol, clearly this would not be the right thing for me to recommend to a women of the same stature :-p
@aodhanof90 Yeah actually from watching some of her videos I found myself surprised a woman is able to conceal so well in outfits I didn't think would be possible. And i've found her iwb holster recommendations useful.
If you need an indicator to know the condition of your weapon something is wrong. Also walking around with a manual safety makes about as much sense as trying to stir oil and water. These guns already have two safeties, doesnt need a 3rd
Ugh its annoying when reviewers feel they have to show you the gun is safe because of all the shooters that just took a class week feel its necessary.
@bsdmon Fuck off rookie, and learn to read. Where did you read "guns require classes to own guns"? The fact is, people don't need to see people clearing their weapons in their own damn house on a video. Its a gun review, not a safety course.
Great review from a woman's perspective - I'll be sure to pass along to my co-worker's wife, who just took her carry course. 1 thing I noticed about your Crossbreed holster, when you were talking about the ride height. It looked like the belt clips are mounted in the lowest holes. There should be like 3 more holes in the leather above that where you can adjust the ride height. I have mine set to the top holes so my Springfield XD rides very low in the waist and prints a lot less through shirts.
Good review. I'm a guy but I have really short fingers so it's hard to shoot accurately. People don't realize that having small hands really effects accuracy and speed of use if your gun doesn't fit. I can shoot the single stack compacts and old-school revolver boot grips fine, but even a 1911 is tough to manipulate. Glad to see another option.
HOLY cow, now thats a review!!! thanks, ive been looking at the 9c for my everyday carry. I carry a full size SD9mm, and want a smaller 9mm but a smith for sure!!!!
I've been looking into getting an M & P 9c but had wondered if the fullsize mag would fit and any extensions for the mag to cover it just like the xd pistols. Thanks! this is the first mp 9c vid that actually went over both. Will be getting the mp 9c with the full size mag and cover piece. Really like the rear serations too. Nice that's made in America.
The next time a friend of mine makes a crack about women not being savvy about firearms; I am going to punch them in the mouth;and then I am going to show them your video . Your dad must be proud.
M&P, great choice! I own both standard and compact sizes and both are in .40 caliber.. I have for both sizes conversion barrels from STORM LAKE.. Remember the .40 can be used with the drop in .357 sig barrel from storm lake. MP40 and 357 sig Mags comes from factory so no mag change.. You can also purchase the Storm Lake MP .40 to 9mm conversion and yes must have the 9mm magazine and will work in the MP40 or 40c.. Love it, its like having two sizes for preference and 3 calibers for each one..

I just bought the M&P .40 today and I am so satisfied I did. I purchased the Cabela's exclusive bitone kit too. I love it so much, I want to marry it. LMAO....no, seriously
I have to say you are an excellent informational speaker! I love your videos! I found you while researching holsters. Wisconsin's conceal carry law goes into effect Nov. 1st and I'll be applying for my permit. I found your video about choosing your first gun very informative, and was leaning towards the LCP .380. My question is, since you got your new favorite in the S & W, M & P 9mm compact , do you still love your LCR .380? As that's the gun I'm pretty set on to carry.
I have the M&P.40 fullsize, its an amazing sidearm! The 9mm compact is the perfect weapon for a woman (low recoil, easy to conceal, and fits any hand size)
you need to get some tw25b on that baby! and I shot one of those this weekend and well I just want one really bad right now. I want the VTAC version in FDE color..
Great review. This is what I carry also. Like you, it was love at first grip. I changed to this from my H&K P7 for capacity and concealability. Thanks for the alternate take down option. Good to know.
Thanks for mentioning the 6 round extention option I was wondering if anyone had made them! Outstanding review, lots to points hit in the review. I held a crimson trace 9c and the grip was too big but I see this is still the gun to get (without the laser grips of course). Thanks!
Excellent review. Quite frankly, the best firearms review I've seen on the web. I enjoyed your fact-based approach, and you could give professional firearms journalists a run for their money.
Nice job chick! I have the full size MP40cal and Im in love with it as well. My friends arent a big fan of the 40 cal but they are starting to understand that its the best of both worlds almost speed and capacity as a 9 but almost the power of 45 and ammo is DIRT cheap compared to a 45.. depending on what youre buying. But I thought youre review was good. I was actually looking at crossbreed supertuck holster vids and yours popped up. Nice job. cute underwear too. ;-) lol
Love the way you say. "I love my M&P" at the end of your review, it's very refreshing to hear a no-nonsense review minus the usual testosterone side comments of most gun reviewers.
Excellent, informative and above all easy to listen/watch. Definately one of the better amateur contributors on site for firearms. Wish more people were better educated like yourself. Keep up the good work. :)
I find my safety very, very easy to operate. There is no strong detent or resistance. Yours seems to be harder to operate. I have the full size M&P 9 and don't carry so I haven't worried too much. Mine was flawless in 275 rounds so far with factory ammo, FMJ or JHP. I also bought mine because it fits my hand and had a safety.
I originally watched this video when you first posted it. I just re-watched it, and got more out of it the second time. Your videos are so jam packed with info I missed some the first time.
Based on your video and my subsequent research, I ordered a 9c w/CT for myself.
I would be interested in hearing you take on the Apex Tactical trigger upgrade.
Nice review. I think the Glock has a better trigger, but I love my M&P. Especially the slide serrations and ergo, thats the best part. Thanks for the video.
I've been showing my wife your videos and I just want to say that you've helped her with her fear of guns. Thank you for all your videos and all your points about guns and accessories.

I installed an Apex duty carry kit in mine. Makes the trigger pull better. Also installed XS big dot sights. I'm old and don't see as well as I used to. That front sight is a booger to get out.

Nice review, I must say you are very organized and thorough. With your charts, the video description, everything. Very cool. I'm looking at getting the full size M&P .40 cal, my brother has a Glock and it feels a little blocky to me. I'm thinking the M&P is the gun for me.

If you increase the cant on your Crossbreed it should help it ride lower. I have a SuperTuck for my G19 and I left the rear clip where it was stock, and I put the front clip in the upper-most position, increasing cant, as well as lowering the ride height a bit. I am sure I could lower it more if I raised the rear clip, but it works for me where its at now. Great review I am thinking about the M&P and your review was very informative, thank you for sharing.

You're right about the grip. This feels better than just about any other gun I've held.

@bsdmon I'd second that- I'm glad to see there is a women out there doing these kinda reviews.... I have a lot of female friends with questions, and men with the answers. It's nice to know I can point them to someone with a woman's prospective :-) I mean I'm 5' 8" @ 120 lbs, as a guy I can still find ways to carry a Springfield XD .45 service pistol, clearly this would not be the right thing for me to recommend to a women of the same stature :-p

If you need an indicator to know the condition of your weapon something is wrong. Also walking around with a manual safety makes about as much sense as trying to stir oil and water. These guns already have two safeties, doesnt need a 3rd
Warpath2198 4 months ago
Ugh its annoying when reviewers feel they have to show you the gun is safe because of all the shooters that just took a class week feel its necessary.

@Warpath2198 Idiot. Firearms safety is common sense. And no class is required to own a gun...

@bsdmon Fuck off rookie, and learn to read. Where did you read "guns require classes to own guns"? The fact is, people don't need to see people clearing their weapons in their own damn house on a video. Its a gun review, not a safety course.

Great review from a woman's perspective - I'll be sure to pass along to my co-worker's wife, who just took her carry course. 1 thing I noticed about your Crossbreed holster, when you were talking about the ride height. It looked like the belt clips are mounted in the lowest holes. There should be like 3 more holes in the leather above that where you can adjust the ride height. I have mine set to the top holes so my Springfield XD rides very low in the waist and prints a lot less through shirts.
therosh2k8 4 months ago
Good review. I'm a guy but I have really short fingers so it's hard to shoot accurately. People don't realize that having small hands really effects accuracy and speed of use if your gun doesn't fit. I can shoot the single stack compacts and old-school revolver boot grips fine, but even a 1911 is tough to manipulate. Glad to see another option.

M&P, great choice! I own both standard and compact sizes and both are in .40 caliber.. I have for both sizes conversion barrels from STORM LAKE.. Remember the .40 can be used with the drop in .357 sig barrel from storm lake. MP40 and 357 sig Mags comes from factory so no mag change.. You can also purchase the Storm Lake MP .40 to 9mm conversion and yes must have the 9mm magazine and will work in the MP40 or 40c.. Love it, its like having two sizes for preference and 3 calibers for each one..

I have to say you are an excellent informational speaker! I love your videos! I found you while researching holsters. Wisconsin's conceal carry law goes into effect Nov. 1st and I'll be applying for my permit. I found your video about choosing your first gun very informative, and was leaning towards the LCP .380. My question is, since you got your new favorite in the S & W, M & P 9mm compact , do you still love your LCR .380? As that's the gun I'm pretty set on to carry.
Thanks, Pam

My friends arent a big fan of the 40 cal but they are starting to understand that its the best of both worlds almost speed and capacity as a 9 but almost the power of 45 and ammo is DIRT cheap compared to a 45.. depending on what youre buying. But I thought youre review was good. I was actually looking at crossbreed supertuck holster vids and yours popped up. Nice job. cute underwear too. ;-) lol

I find my safety very, very easy to operate. There is no strong detent or resistance. Yours seems to be harder to operate. I have the full size M&P 9 and don't carry so I haven't worried too much. Mine was flawless in 275 rounds so far with factory ammo, FMJ or JHP. I also bought mine because it fits my hand and had a safety.
