S&w mp 40

[remington jim]

Hey whats your guys opinions of the S&W MP 40 pistol - just want it for a tin can plinker - not competition ! and PLEASE don't say get a 9 mm - not interested in another one of them ! RJ

Reliable little gun. Terrible factory trigger (9-10lbs!) and jumpy because it's lightweight.
A Dremel and some time can make a world of difference to the 'duty' trigger pull and you can get used to the '.40 twitch', because it fits so comfortably in your hand, because of the included grip choices.

I have an M&P Pro Core in .40 S&W. I like everything about it except the trigger. An Apex Tactical trigger is the answer.

We have them at work, not my cup of tea but it'll shoot decent group and we never had any real issues so far.
I'd trust it to do the trick but I don't like it enough to convince myself to buy one, even if I should.

I have one,, love it. But yes the trigger can and will be better soon. ( Apex going in )

Where in Canada for the APEX kit?

 

[IM_Lugger]

Had one but liked the 9mm version better..

Love it! Got one of the better triggers I guess... the only downside is they don't hold their value whatsoever.

i love it.
but then i love the M&P platform.
i dont even mind the trigger!
but it is a zippy round and does make that light gun jump a bit.
all in all for my foray into the world of 40's im very happy with it.

The M&P pistol is what the Glock would be if it had been done right the first time...and the 40S&W is the perfect balance of power and compactness.

Can you tell I'm a fan? (The trigger improves with shooting...)

 

[thenewbieglockguy]

^No... We couldn't tell

I have one. Thanks to forums like this I ordered an Apex kit for it at the same time I bought the gun. When the gun arrived I found the trigger better than i expected. But the Apex made it even better.

I find it the most accurate gun to shoot against the clock - and I have a lot of pistols.

I think CTCS has some too, but I'm not sure about their price...

 

[Master-G]

Reliable, accurate, comfortable to shoot, inexpensive. What's not to like? I'm even a fan of the factory trigger!

 

[9.3 Hunter]

absolutely correct

 

[bilkathegerman]

Hated the recoil. Sold it.

Super comfortable to shoot once you find the right blackstrap. Buy the range kit and upgrade the trigger to a APEX tactical forward set sear model. The CORE option is not worth the cash IMHO.
