I recieved my M&P 45 Compact last week and ran 200 rounds thru it.

I have to say I very much like this pistol, and will make it my EDC

Anyone that wants to get a 45 compact for IWB CCW, should put this on their list to consider

The recoil is amazingly soft........ a fraction above a 9mm

Excellent Firepower
Excellent Size for CCW
Excellent Reliability
Made in the USA

dean1818,
Congradulations on the purchase of a fine handgun. :)

I have a M&P service model, in 9mm and absolutely love it. It's impressed me enough to purchase another M&Pc, in the same caliber. I don't have it, yet, but it should be here in the next week or so.

I considered getting it in 45acp, but recently shot a Glock 36 and didn't care for the recoil of a large caliber in a small handgun. :p However, I've heard better things from those that have owned/fired the M&P, in 45acp.

For Bowhunter, I own an M&P 45c as well and it shoots like a champ. The felt recoil is very little, especially considering its a 45 ACP. I recomend giving it a try. The g36 is literally a block, more so then most glocks because of its thinner frame, yet still very long in the handle(from backstrap to frontstrap). Makes it very uncomfortable to hold. The M&P is the opposite, it has a very natural grip, and points naturally as well. It is my favorite pistol, I plan on adding a 9c to the collection very soon.

To the OP, have fun shooting your new pistol sir.

I've got an M&P 45, full size, and I love it as well. I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying it, but that's just me (I don't like striker fired for conceal carry). Shoots great though! AND, it's FAR better looking than those black blocks from Austria ;-)

I have an M&P 45c as well and the recoil is not bad at all for a smaller frame 45. I traded a Glock 23 for it and find the M&P is more pleasant to shoot and is easier to control.

Mine is rather fussy about feeding reloads but does fine with factory ammo

I have had mine for over a year now ,and it is my daily CCW .the Apex DECAK did wonders for the trigger and accuracy .The stock trigger in mine was too stiff for my taste.

Congrats. I love M&P's. I owned and carried both a full size M&P9 and M&P40. unfortuantely I traded them, but in the future I will be getting a compact M&P for sure. it has been one of the best handguns i've owned.

happy shooting!
