By my measurement, the hand placement is 5/8” closer to the barrel’s centerline than the venerable 1911.

Maximum recoil management achieved by the close proximity of the shooting hand to the bore-line axis.

The fit and feel of the M&P is truly amazing, and more than one of my shooting buddies has looked back over his shoulder at me and proclaimed, “I love this gun!”

Interchangeable palmswell grips that will provide an excellent shooter-to-pistol interface for 99%+ of shooters’ hands, including XXL paws like mine.

After the conversion, as was the case with 40 S&W, the pistol runs flawlessly.

Although never mentioned by S&W, the M&P 40 can be readily converted to 9mm by simply replacing the barrel and magazine.

Many features and shortfalls of the previous guns went into the design today as well as watching several years of the competition tweaking their own designs. The M&P is the evolution of S&W Sigma and features from their collaboration with Walther on the SW99. Smith and Wesson decided to market it on the commercial side and it took off.

The M&P line is a Browning Type polymer framed gun originally designed and marketed to the Law Enforcement community.

Inquiring of some trusted law enforcement and military shooters, I was guided to the M&P series of striker-fired polymer pistols, introduced by Smith & Wesson in 2005. Approaching retirement, I realized that these self-imposed constraints no longer applied and that I could choose whatever suits me. I followed by a Beretta 92FS that replaced the 1911 in Army inventories. 45 was my match gun of choice for completion in those early days of IPSC. During the beginning of my military career, an Armand Swenson-modified Colt Series 70. During my time in the Army, I always competed with the same pistol that I was issued, to maximize familiarity with the weapon system that I carried while in uniform.
