Nice shooting! Looks like a keeper.Cleaned and did a function check and first trip out these are the results. 25 yards using Blazer Brass 115 grain.

I'm hoping S&W treats the metal-framed M&P's like they do the Shield/Shield Plus line. I wanted a Shield Plus when it was released, but I was not interested in one with 3-dot sights (I insist on night sights for a carry gun). Within a year, S&W released an optic-ready model with Night Sights for a price that was less than it would have cost me to install a quality set of night sights on the base-model. I'm counting on this model being successful enough that they release compact and Performance Center models with added features.My own observations first time using. The heavier weight makes follow up shots easier than my polymer M&P 2.0, trigger is not what I am used to but the reset on this is awesome. The only thing I changed so to speak was the back strap I have average hands and it came from Smith with the small sized in place. I swapped it out for the medium large. So far so good only thing I would change is swap the factory sights out for night sights or fiber optics. It comes with the standard steel white dot setup. Just my own two cents worth....
The performance center models have FO sights. My PC .40 Shield has them. FO is not true night sights, but....I'm hoping S&W treats the metal-framed M&P's like they do the Shield/Shield Plus line.

Yeah they said you can't get one!When you said "Wife actually encouraged me to buy whatever I want" it really got my attention..... does your wife have a sister????? Heck .... maybe even a cousin?????
That is a really nice gun too!
Me too. Shield Plus too. If they come out with a 45.Hopefully they will make one in 45acp. I just don't need another 9mm gun. If a 45 comes out I WILL purchase one.
The new metal M&P is high on my listI am going to be looking for a new larger size (at least 4 in n barrel), at least 15 capacity 9 MM to alternate my Hellcat Pro on the colder days coming where I can wear heavier cover clothing or to church where I wear a suit coat.

The new, metal M&P is high on my list I am considering.
I am interested in the trigger. I prefer a hammer fire over a striker fire, but I don't mind striker fire (other than Glocks, they suck). The only M&P I ever shot was the first Gen Shield I had a for a few years. Wasn't horrible, wasn't great
I'll check that out. Although I fell in love with a SAR USA Model 200o yesterday. CZ 75 cloneHK P30L

I'd love an actual CZ but definitely won't be in the budgetIt's all about budget and intended use. I might be more inclined to get an actual CZ75 than a clone for self defense assuming the budget would allow it and that was the gun I wanted. That's the beautiful thing. There are a LOT of guns that are perfectly suited to whatever your intended use is and it stretches along all price points.
When you decide on one and buy it, we want to hear about it.
