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?

@inkman234

I've handled XDs but I've never shot one. The XDM is on my list of guns to try.

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.

@Itaintnutn

Still absolutely love it :)

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...

@allergic2cities

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.

God bless you for exercising your rights to carry. It is nice to know that there are strong women out there.

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 :)

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!

[Midnite0toka8]

very nice review!



[FIVE50inc]

thanks for the video. as a person with small handa, it is a pain finding the right gun for me, ive been looking at this gun, now im gonna try it!

[Harlingen78]

Great vid falia! You touched every point very good!

[TheErickkkk]

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.
