S&W M&P VTAC 9. Any thoughts? Have shot one?
« on: April 01, 2014, 07:36:24 PM »
Im looking for a full size 9, and I really like the feel and the sights on the VTAC. Has anyone shot one? I recently shot a friends standard M&P 9 and thought the sights were horrible and the gun seemed pretty inaccurate. Has the vtac made any improvements?

thanks for any info

I've never shot one personally, but here is a pretty good review of one:

It's probably a good gun, but I'm sold on my FNHs.  So much so, that I now have an FNX-9, an FNP-40 (in dark earth color), and an FNX-45.  The main thing I like about my FNs is that they have a hammer, but if you like the striker-fired guns, (I don't--personal preference) FNH is now making the FNS series.  My FNX-9 came with 3 17-round magazines, and 4 backstraps that are simple to change.  The only downside is the lack of accessories for the FNH pistols, but I got a Galco holster for my 9 and 40, and for full size guns they are pretty compact as a carry gun, and I'm not a big person.  :twocents:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

I have some experience with the Vtac M&P. Very good firearm, I love the fit, and sights. Shoots well for me.

I can't say much to the VTAC 9, but my MP45 turned into my favorite pistol after I did the Apex trigger and sear job on it. The trigger was pretty sloppy before and I figured, why not do the sear too, while I was in there. The sights on the VTAC look really nice, but that's secondary to a smooth, crisp trigger in my book. Maybe find one to pull the trigger and few times to see how it feels before the purchase? I think I'll be putting some Novak sights or something similar on mine in the next couple of months to finish the whole package.
