S&W m&p 45. Is this a good defense gun?
This is probably asked alot, but I don't browse this board like I used too. I just need a reliable, semiauto home defense handgun that's around $500. I'm leaning towards the S&W for ergonomics, and I'm going 45 bc my state has a magazine restriction, otherwise I'd go 9mm. Any thoughts on this gun?

>not getting M&P 9 anyway because less expensive to practice and faster to shoot while good quality hollowpoints still expand past .60 cal
>not just buying standard mags out of state for defense and having partially loaded and empty 10 round mags to give police once it's all ogre

They're pretty good, reliable pistols that handle recoil well and have good ergonomics.

I use my m&p 9 as a duty weapon by choice. If its good enough to handle the scum of the streats, itll be good enough for you and your family. 45 i heard is fine too... but unless youve trained for high stress scenarios, your shots will go much quicker than you think. Just buy a shitgun or a rifle though
Garbage. HiPoints perform better.
Locks up in water and full retard design.

Where is your handler?
It's my service weapon. I don't not like it but I find the ergonomics strange, it never feels like I'm holding it quite right whereas Glocks feel like they were made for my hands. I still trust it though.

Do these come in hicap aragements? Slickguns always has 10 rounders. Is that a nurtured mag? Or standard?
If im buying a plastic 45 that motherfucker better hold 14 rounds or more

It's a great pistol. Excellent ergos, accurate, and very soft shooting. I love mine.
Standard mags are 10 rds and you can get aftermarket 14 rd ones.

Ten is the standard capacity for the M&P 45. The 45c has a capacity of eight rounds, if you were curious.

Gun shop faggot here,
You can buy a CZ-P09 for under $500. Why people shopping in that price range buy anything besides a CZ is a total mystery to me.
