I have one with a 3.6" barrel, I think they call it a compact. It has a double stack and nice comfortable grip and the recoil isn't bad at all. Definitely a bit more than any of my 9s but not nearly as stout as my 1911. It's a really nice shooter, very accurate too.Interested in .40 Cal, what's the recoil like on the M&P40 M2.0?
Is it a M2.0? I know they have a 3.6" and 4.0" compact. Also, what ammo do you use? I plan on using Federal Hydra Shok Deep 165 Grain JHP(Rated at 1050 FPS from a 4" barrel), which isn't nearly as hot as average .40 JHP ammo.I have one with a 3.6" barrel, I think they call it a compact.

Yea, I plan on doing just that, but also wanted some opinions from others beforehand.Best way to know is to find a range that rents them and give it ago. What one person finds as acceptable recoil may not be the same for the next person.
It is the 2.0, I use Hornady critical defense for carry and shoot cci blazer brass 180 grain for practice. The only thing that has given it trouble is magtech. I tried the magtech garbage in my Ruger sr40 and had the same trouble.Is it a M2.0? I know they have a 3.6" and 4.0" compact. Also, what ammo do you use?

I have a M&P 2.0 compact 3.6 in 40. I barely notice a difference in recoil between it and my 9mm’s.

So how exactly manageable is the recoil? Is it ridiculously mild? Is it soft shooting or just "manageable". One of my top priorities in a gun is ease of rapid fire shooting. Are follow up shots quick and easy?I have the 4" compact version. The recoil isn't bad to me. I've liked 40's for a while though. This is the third 40 I've owned.

Yea, I will definitely rent one soon. Thanks.To me it has less recoil than my old Ruger P-series, Less muzzle flip than the XD I had & it doesn't seem to recoil as much as a 3rd gen. G-23 I have shot. I would agree with another Deleon 517 above that the best thing you could do would probably be to rent one. Is there a range anywhere near you that has one for rent. Recoil is subjective. Different people perceive it differently.
