Smith & Wesson M&P: A Semiautomatic Pistol Worthy Of Its Name

If Smith & Wesson's M&P Pistol proves to be to auto pistols what the original M&P revolver was to wheelguns, it may be S&W's best autoloader ever.

When are they coming? May hold out on the HK for a while if they do. They cheap in the States, so should be around the Glock price here hopefully or less.

My concern with these is going to be parts. I phoned yesterday to find out about mags etc and was told that it comes with a spare mag. When i said that if i buy one i will want more than two mags i was told they would need to order from the states. Its a pity because i think they are a great concept.

Has anyone shot one of these yet? Even with the parts problems etc I am very keen to play with one of them. I could seriously see one in my future. Anyone had any experience with them? Another one of my illogical guns that I want.

I got to handle a compact over the weekend and I was very impressed with the feel of it. Compact was a bit small for my hand but I think the full size will be awesome. I would like to handle and hopefully shoot a full size but if first impression are anything to go on I think this is my next pistol.
