Anybody have any experience with Smith and Wesson's new M&P? How's the accuracy? Overall quality? Any bad experiences? Thinking about buying one in .40 cal.
...you're kidding, right?but the triggers are @#$%^&*!
I have heard that you can just pull the trigger like on a glock and then proceed with takedown. The release is just there for safety? Don't know, don't own one.Also, after finally getting a chance to tear one apart, I'll disagree that the disassembly is moronic. It is actually quite simple and straightforward. It does, however, require a tool. You can use the supplied one, or you can use a field expedient one, like a pen, cleaning rod, or anything else long and thin.
No, actually you do not have to hold back the takedown lever. At least I don't have to on mine.The only thing I really dislike is the takedown procedure where you have to push down a "sear disconnect lever" next to the ejector in the ejection port and physically hold back the takedown lever when you remove the slide
I dunno about that. The Sigma certainly was a Glock knockoff- S&W even got dinged in court for it. The M&P has made some significant advances on the original polymer pistol, the most notable (and least noticible) being the steel chassis present in the polymer frame. One of the things people gripe about in reference to Glocks is how they behave under recoil. The M&P handles like a steel autopistol because it has a steel core to the frame.The SW M&P handguns are another Glock knock off like alot of the plastic handguns on the market today.

On ours you do just like it says on page 21 of the manual. If I try to remove the slide without holding it back, it springs back up. After I've moved the slide forward a little, I can then let it go.No, actually you do not have to hold back the takedown lever. At least I don't have to on mine.
