hey there hi there ho there neighbor!

so today i got my new Smith and Wesson M&P 9 Pro CORE in the 5"
and i decided to go to the range and compare it to my main shooter - the S&W M&P 9mm

i have to say that right out of the gate I LOVE THE NEW BACKSTRAP!!!
the texture on that new backstrap is fantastic!
i really hope they start to sell those after market so i can put those on all my other M&P's

comparing the 2 guns is pretty much exactly what i was expecting there to be for differences.
the Pro Core has the optics ready cut out on the top.
dont have any optics for it yet, next month!
the stock sites are a LOT higher then the normal sites.
easily 2x3 times higher.

the slide is an inch or so longer, which is what we would expect being that the barrel is longer.

other then that the gun is the same.
i was kinda hoping that the frame would be the same as the 45 frame with the serrations on the front as well as the back just because im a left handed shot and i prefer to use the front so i can visualize into the gun when i cycle it.

now, what i wasnt expecting.
ive been shooting my M&P 9 for a couple years and love it.
im no great shot but i really enjoy the hobby.
right out of the box i had gone from about a 6" circle group at 15 yards (45 feet) to about half that.... right out of the box!!!
only thing i can think is that that extra inch on the barrel and the higher iron sites with the little nicer feeling trigger has improved my grouping for me.

enough talk, here is a quick video i made out in the rain and a couple pics of the new toy.

enjoy!

(and it was windy and raining in the video, sorry about all the noise!)

Very nice collection! The CORE backstraps do look nice and I hope they are sold by themselves at some point too
 
Hey, just wondering... do you like M&Ps? lol

I just have the one M&P9, very jealous of your nice collection! Which optic are you getting?
 
i picked up my 22 last year right when they came out.
i think i got one of the first ones that came into Canada.

then all hell broke loose in the states and..... well we all know what that did to the gun market up here!

thats what happens when you have too much money and are in need of a hobby.
now if only i had the time to shoot them all more! (says the guy that just hit the range 3 times in the last 3 days)
 
thanks for the comparison, loved the ####-ish photos specially that one with all the muzzles touching each other. Dirty.

Just kidding, thanks for posting!

haha, my wife walked into the kitchen and asked what the hell i was doing when i was right in the middle of taking that pic, i told her it was gun ####..... she just backed out of the kitchen.

a while ago i saw some fella post a pic of his new hand gun, he had his girlfriend holding it up in front of her naked chest - covering all the essentials.
i asked my wife to do the same but with my AR's, my thinking was that my wife has DD's so i needed to use bigger guns to cover the.... guns.
she used her veto power on that one.
