Range Report (my new M&P)
Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2009 1:17 pm
Finally got to take the M&P 9C to the range yesterday.
Put 50 rounds through it, of Magtech FMJ's. I would've shot more, but I was a little pressed for time.
Anywho...the gun performed awesome!! Didn't even feel like it needed breaking in, everything moved without a hitch, went bang everytime I pulled the trigger. Accuracy: I couldn't ask for more. I did 12 rounds at 9ft....put them in a fist sized group. Then 21ft....same story, 12 rounds, no strays. Then I moved it out to 30ft, 12 rounds, and the groups opened up a little bit, but not too much. The other 14 rounds I let loose at 45ft. They were a little more widespread, but only 2 shots outside the 8 ring. I blame it on me needing a new eyeglass prescription (or Lasik?).
I'm going to go back this weekend and run about 200 rounds through it, I'm sure it needs it.
All in all....couldn't be happier with it. Recoil was very manageable, followup shots were a breeze, although I didn't try it single handed or offhanded.
The S&W M&P 9C gets a big thumbs up from me.
