Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key advantages of the Smith & Wesson M&P Pro Series 9mm?

The M&P Pro Series excels in reliability, handling over 1000 rounds without issue. It features a durable Melonite finish, an ergonomic grip angle similar to a 1911 for natural pointing, and a lower bore axis aiding recoil management compared to some competitors.

What is the recommended method for improving the trigger on an M&P Pro Series?

While the Pro Series trigger is better than the standard M&P, the reviewer suggests that for a superior trigger break and a more tactile reset, installing an Apex trigger kit is the best option, outperforming both factory configurations.

How does the M&P Pro Series 9mm compare to a Glock 17 or Sig Sauer P229?

Compared to a Glock 17, the M&P Pro has a slightly shorter slide and a more vertical grip. Against a Sig P229, the M&P Pro has a lower bore axis due to its striker-fired design, which helps mitigate recoil more effectively than the P229's external hammer setup.

What is the unique disassembly feature of the Smith & Wesson M&P Pro Series?

The M&P Pro Series allows for triggerless disassembly. A tool integrated into the backstrap pin can be used to push down a lever inside the frame, enabling the slide to be removed without needing to pull the trigger first.
