| Why doesnt smith make them with higher round capacities than just 10?? Am I missing something? |

Quoted: They wanted something that fit the hand batter than a true double stack .45. Yup. I think of the M&P .45 as a "stack-and-a-half" gun instead of a doublestack. Sure, they could make a doublestack gun that holds 13 rounds or so....if they wanted to make something that felt as crappy and huge as the Glock 21. |

10+1 also beats the huge majority of .45ACP handguns out there anyway. I'm not sure why some people are so up in arms about the lower capacity of the M&P45, the benefits of the more comfortable grip far outweigh the "advantage" of 2 or 3 more rounds in the magazine.

While I like the M&P45, an XD45 has higher capacity while being extremely comfortable. I have small meat hooks and my XD45 is very nice. With that said, I love shooting my friends M&P45 too. If an XD45SC doesn't come out soon, I'll be picking up an M&P45c.
I can agree that the G21 feels 2x4ish. On the same note, I've never shot a G21SF; I don't have any desire too either.

| Just bought a new M&P45c and I really like it. I have fairly large thick hands but the small grip fits the best. I need a carry holster. I like the kydex and friends tell me they like it for thier guns. It seems the choices for the 45 are slim and I am having trouble determing if the 40/9 holsters are compatable. Any thoughts or experiences? |

BAH BAH BAH Fie on you all.
I bought the (now) wife an M&P 45 for her 21st bday/wedding present. Yes, it comes with 10 round mags, however you can order the 14 round mags, and take off the ugly grip extension. However, she likes (and although the M&P fits nicely, I like) my FNP45 much, much better. It fits the hand quite well. Just my .02 |
