I've become completely thrilled with the M&P line, have complete confidence in my full size-it's accurate, feels great, 100% reliable. I had a Compact, sold and moved to the FS.

My older son just got a 9mm Shield (no safety) through the killer deal Quantico Tactical offers military/first responders-$309 shipped plus the transfer fee at Rapid Fire ($25). Last weekend we met at the range and I became completely enamored of it. It shot great, 100% reliable regardless of what ammo I used, nice trigger/reset for self defense purposes. When I get my tax refund I'll be hunting one down-will be a great carry piece when it's t-shirt weather again (will replace my lightweight J frames).

Just sayin.
