S&W MP40
dweber1188:
Interestingly, I haven't seen any posts about the MP40. I have a full size and use a FOBUS paddle holster for open and concealed carry and a crossbreed supertuck for conceled. Even though it is a full size gun, I find it very comfortable in these holsters, easy to carry, easy to draw. I also have a S&W 442 .38 with a pocket holster.

very nice pistol, I keep debating on getting the MP 9mm.

I've got nothing but praise for it. I have put a couple thousand rounds with no jams or misfires. Only issue I had was accidentally pressing the magazine release, but that was quickly corrected by changing the grip size which moved my thumb just enough.

My wife has the M&P 9. We went to the range once and had a number of failures to eject, feed and fire.
The 1 failure to fire could have been the round...the firing pin certainly left it's mark.
The other failures occurred with my wife firing the gun...could have been limp wristing, I don't really know. I fired a couple of magazines through it myself and never had a problem, but she did most of the firing with that gun on that particular day. I'm going to take it to the range again in couple of weeks and run at least 100 rounds through it to see how it performs for me.
I got the gun for her to use as a home defense weapon. Since she is having trouble with it, I'm strongly considering the Taurus Judge or Public Defender for that purpose...we'll see.

UPDATE:
I went to the range yesterday and fired 100 rounds through my wifes M&P9...not one failure of any kind. It performed wonderfully, and it was quite accurate.
I'll have to take my wife to the range and have her run 100 rounds through it again and see if problems arise again. If it turns out she is the cause of the problems, we'll have to reconsider keeping that gun for her use...we'll see
