WGoforth - One of the reasons I chose the M&P was the ease I had in running the slide. My 14 year old runs it fine as well. She did have trouble at first, but she was trying to "pinch and pull". Once she learned to scissor her arms, she runs it fine. I don't know if it is me or the gun getting broken in, but the more I run it, the easier it runs. Have 1500 - 2000 rounds through it jmpho

Middle Age Russ and I both carry 9C. I love mine - will let him speak for himself, but sure he is happy with his. I recently carried more than 15 hours at a livestock event dealing with animals, equipment and never an issue. As far as shooting, enjoy it thoroughly. The only "change' I have made is night sights. MAR did a trigger job, and he loves it, but I am used to a revolver trigger, so am happy with my "factory" trigger - mine was also much smoother out of the box than his.

Mine has been back once for rust on the slide and take down lever - totally a cosmetic issue, and S&W customer service was awesome. I must have mean sweat combined with something in the Tucker leather that is hard on the slide and lever because I am rusting again. I just sent them an email for suggestions. I am considering getting the slide and lever duracoated. I can highly recommend the M&P 9C!
