I have a m&p9 pro and I love it I have had it a couple years and 7k rounds in its still very accurate and dependable I would never sell it
Why is everybody selling their S&W M&P's after only a few hundred rounds?

I just order my first M&P and my first pistol as a matter of fact. I did enough (online) research to be satisfied, I have yet to hold the pistol and put rounds down rage mind you. I think the price is right and in the end you get what you pay for. If for some reason I find this is not the right pistol for me, I wont be to disappointed and it will always be my first pistol.
First of many!

I see a lot more m&ps at my range then any other guns I think, especially with newer shooters, so it only makes sense that they would come up for sale more often in my opinion. It took me a couple thousand rounds before I got really comfortable and decently accurate with mine. This was my first polymer pistol and I had to learn how to shoot it, it's not like my other metal guns or revolvers. But the more I shoot it the more I like it, and I will likely wear it out before I ever sell it. Hard to beat for the price too.
Ain't selling mine after a few hundred rounds... I'll probably have my M&Ps buried with me.....357/.40, 45ACP and .22LR [arriving soon].
Seriously...some people have a problem with the trigger, and the gun is inexpensive enough to 'buy to try' but yet not feel much of a commitment to owning it if it doesn't really ring the owners' chimes right off the bat. And it doesn't have the level of enthusiasm and popularity that the Glock benefits from [yet].

Let me get this straight, you never even held the pistol, let alone fire it, and you bought it? What?
First things first - Where did you find the .22LR? I want one of those and can't find one anywhere!
Second - I agree that its because of the sheer number of them that are out there. Same reason you see more Chevy's for sale then say, Fiat's.

This is true for a lot of people I would imagine. I never handled or shot my M&P 9, my Ruger SR-22, Ruger Mark III, Remington R1,, JR Carbine 9mm, and maybe even 1 or 2 more that I have. I guess I got lucky because I like all of them. Its a bit of a hike for me to get to any gun stores, so all of these above mentioned purchases were made on line.
Yes but what works for me might not work for you, it has a semi nice grip, and a crap trigger, I haven't done any significant amount of research on the pistol itself. I dislike mag disconnect, it's a dumb feature that this pistol incorporates, other than that it's a glock copy in many ways, so it will go the distance if cared for.
Works for other people I guess, personally the first thing I ask is how tough is this thing, it needs to go the distance, function first, then you look to see if if the niggly little details meet up as well, how pretty is it, how it fits the hand.

Each firearm I own (rifle, pistol, or shotgun) I just picked based on research and how pretty they were..... bought my Benelli Nova cuz it looked pretty, my M&P for same reasons.....so far, so good, not a single dissatisfaction
My brother had one a few years back and I used it many times. I found my M&P in 9mm on EE for a decent price and love it. I purchased a second magazine and did some work on them to make them easier to load. The gun was well used already so many thousands of rounds through it and it still works flawlessly. I do not plan to sell mine.

You are absolutely right. Everybody has different individual likes and dislikes. At this point, I feel pretty confident in what I've read as well as others feed back, like yours. Nothing I've come across suggests that these are bad pistols by any stretch. Myself, I need to start somewhere and I'm pretty excited to learn my likes and dislikes with my first pistol.
The fact I had to modify the followers to be able to seat a full mag on a closed slide for competition.

The only thing I must ask from you is that if your groups are crap, I'm sure it's you and not the gun, like I said polymers dont hide bad form at all. So if you flinch it will demonstrate that on the paper in front of you, so if you shoot bad at start dont be discouraged, take some training with it, instead of labeling it as crap and selling it.
