but im having trouble finding a realistic price on a new 9mm M&P can anyone help me out in finding pricing on one?

Call Barney's in Lafayette. They have law enforcement pricing and are very friendly. My dad got his M&P40 with 3 mags for... (you're gonna shite)...........................




...$434 before tax. So about $470ish and he was out the door with a brand new M&P40 with 3 magazines. It is literally the best price I've ever seen for M&Ps, even better than Bud's.

Well you need a tool or a brass punch set and I have both. If you buy the sights, I'll put them on for you.

And those that doubt the Apex trigger for defensive use, it REALLY makes you that much better of a shot. I want something that is proven and tested, and everyone who has an Apex kit loves it. But there are two different types of "kits" from Apex:

1. Internal parts (sear, RAM, springs, etc) - this uses the factory trigger.

2. Forward set sear and trigger - includes all parts, including a brand new aluminum trigger with very little takeup and very little reset. It is the best trigger.

Here is my review of an M&P with the Apex FSS and trigger:

M&P40

Do you mean the 5 inch barell or the 40 of the m&p? And may I ask why?

He mainly means a handgun with a long sight radius and a full grip, AKA 4"+ barrel with a full grip. The compact has a 3.5" barrel and a compact grip. While it is a good gun, it's still not the same as a full size.

Full sized guns are just easier to shoot, handle, aim, etc. Smaller guns are more difficult to shoot.
