What features does this gun have that appealed to you?

Well it’s a M&P!!! Have great success with my full size – then there is that little problem BEING LEFT-HANDED –

Tell us about shooting this gun.

Fun to use this gun I ONLY use this for tactical classes and not for my edc –

How would you describe the recoil, is it manageable?

Absolutely- love this gun –

How does it fit your hand, are the controls of this gun easy to use? (Safeties, slide pull, magazine release, trigger pull, etc.)

Fits my hand well EXCEPT FOR BEING LEFT-HANDED!!! You can’t reach the safety- It’s impossible (tiny and which appendage am I supposed to use my nose???? Because I have to keep my grip and I have a loaded firearm. Oh I’ve tried called S&W custom center – but they won’t even try to modify for us lefties. And I live in California so there is that problem too.

Do you like the sights on this gun?

I got the night sites at time of purchase and I like them

How reliable is it?

Very!!!

Any problems with any type of ammunition?

I use reloads and it has worked wonderfully

Was it easy to take down and clean?

I need help to take the gun apart – needed my hubby’s strong hands.

Is there anything you dislike about shooting this gun?

That it’s not adaptable for us lefties Like the full size is.

For someone considering this gun, what would you tell them?

If you’re left-handed AND want to use this for your edc – keep looking.
