Yeah, I hear ya. It only took about 10 seconds of holding one to determine there was not going to be a love affair (or even a fling) with one of Mr. Glock's masterpieces. The M&P9c I think is about as close to a perfect carry gun as one can get :cheers2: .

I had a chance to hold & check out a M&P9c & I fell in love with it. I like it better than the Shield. It's awesome!!!!! :thumbs2:

Magazines are 13 rds, 17 rds, and 20 rds. Grip extension works on the last two.

Ditto this. A fine subcompact pistol with impressive capacity. I carry mine with the 13 round mag in it, and a 17 round PX4 mag with a x-grip adapter on it as a spare.
:iagree: :iagree: Not, the smallest, lightest ... etc. , but it's what I carry.

I find it interesting that my m&p .45 "compact" is virtually the same size as my m&p .40 mid size. I can carry either & if I stick my 9mm barrel in it, I get 17+1 capacity. While it's not exactly what you're asking, I just find out interesting I can double my capacity by carrying a different caliber, yet same sized pistol.

been carrying this for 6months. Love it.

Thanks for all the replies. :tiphat:

I'll have to check out the M&P9c and compare it to the G19 & my G26.
