" I have to start by saying Kentucky Gun Company is spectacular. Aside from some of the best prices on the internet, customer service is fantastic also! This ported 9mm M&P is amazing, and so far it shoots way better than I can! Trigger has little take up, and breaks clean and the porting really helps the recoil. The porting however does make it a bit louder, and after 50 or so rounds the front sight becomes almost too dark to see from the smoke and powder coming out of the ports. The slide also becomes quite hot from the escaping gases but it looks so cool in person and functions the way it should. Top-of-the-line Smith and Wesson Performance Center quality for a fantastic price, this pistol cant be beat. "
