Our Rating
+ The pistol runs reliably. I have shot several hundred rounds suppressed and unsuppressed and have had total reliability.
+ The ergonomics of the M&P series pistols are amazing and allow for great control of the firearm.
+ It is very corrosion resistant, like most modern polymer handguns.
+ The barrel is threaded which makes attaching a suppressor easy if you desire to do so.
+ The sights are high enough to clear most .22 suppressors.
- I don’t really like the ambidextrous thumb safety.
- It comes with only 1 magazine.
Score: 9.0 Amazing!!!
