Colion Noir Reviews the M&P 45c Review (Part 1)
About this video
Colion reviews the Smith & Wesson M&P 45C compact pistol, praising its ergonomics, recoil management, and shootability in .45 caliber. He argues that Smith & Wesson should produce this frame in 9mm as a true Glock 19 competitor, criticizing the M&P 9C as inadequate and expressing frustration with the 45C’s trigger feel and lack of a definitive reset.
Key takeaways
- Colion believes the M&P 45C’s frame size and handling would make an excellent Glock 19 competitor if chambered in 9mm instead of .45
- According to Colion, the 45C manages recoil exceptionally well for a polymer .45, making it predictable and smooth to shoot
- Colion criticizes the M&P trigger system for having no clear reset, long slack, and an overall uninspiring feel compared to Glock, Springfield, or Sig triggers
