You are a great representative of the gun community, glad you're making videos sir. Greatly appreciate your insight.
if Jerry ever has to shoot someone in self defense, as soon as hes done hes going to reach for his timer lol
He keeps the timer by his bedside, lol!
😀🤣🤣
And when it’s all said and done he’ll let his neighbors know the threat was neutralized by yelling “YYYOOOOO”
This is my favorite video, I actually purchased my first M&P after watching it. Jerry you should go over a good way to improve the trigger reset.
I just purchased a s&w m&p pro series core .40. Will have it Tuesday cant wait!
Update: got the gun. Thing is a cannon. Feels amazing in the hand.
How do you make the red dot stronger in color?
@@Sami962Joshua I do not have a red dot sight for it yet but I do have a Leopold delta point red dot sight coming in the mail very soon. Will try and update you on it to see of there is a way to change the brightness of the light
@@Notyourfathersbmw I appreciate that and i bet youre stoked!
Good man jerry here mentioned that you can lower the brightness of it and also turn it up but he didnt get into how to do that..
I picked up a CORE on Monday (couldn't believe one was in stock), and put an RMR on it that I had. The guy at the store was as surprised as I was that it came with 3 magazines. Holy crap is it a nice pistol. I got it in .40S&W because I'm already invested in M&P40 magazines. The thing shoots better than I do, and that red dot makes it much faster.
Jerry, have you handled the new M&P 2.0? I'd love to see your review of one! Thanks!
My favorite guy on UA-cam. I just bought a CORE on this review.
Love watching these vids. Makes me feel inadequate lol
4:34 = BEAST!!!
Didn't know they made full auto m&p's. Great shooting
I would absolutely love to get the CORE except I'm heavenly invested in my glocks. Took me a little bit to build my muscle memory to where it felt instinctive. Glad to see that Smith and Wesson has released the CORE.
Love you Jerry.
One of a kind.
Get a BladeTech. Sepcifically the Sting Ray or the Black Ice.They make one specifically for the M&P, M&P Pro, and the M&P LS. They make all three types. They are about $65 which is a little bit more than a SERPA but for what you get in return it is VERY worth the extra $20-$25
Jerry, this is 100% true... I was thinking about getting one of these in 40 cal, after watching the video Sat morning I went to the gun store to order one and they had it in stock! Had it in stock... now I have it in my safe and going to try it out this Wed with my niece. Thank you for taking the time to create that video, Smith and Wesson is lucky to have you on their team! Got the 40L
I have installed a Trijicon RMR on my glock 19 which is my carry gun. I have to agree that they are EXTREMELY fast and are the future. My times have improved at every level. Most improvement can be seen at long range. I can now consistently place 2 shots center mass @ 50 yards in under 3.5 seconds from concealment. It may not be the best time but it is good for me.
Jerry is such a humble bad ass. I love this man and his family.
Dang. S&W must owe 1/2 their sales to this guy. I can hardly keep myself from buying one after seeing this video.
About 3 months ago I went from a 40 VE to a M&P 2.0 full frame 9mm an love it need another
I bought this gun because of this review. love everything about the core exempt for the trigger. Was not impressed with the performance center trigger. I put the apex trigger kit in it and was a huge deference. I would like to see more reviews on new firearms that come out.
Love my C.O.R.E 40! I need a good holster - any suggestions?
Thank you for taking the time to put this out. Look forward to seeing you again at the Pro AM
It's obvious to any knowledgeable shooter, that what Smith & Wesson have done here is take all the good things about the glock and springfield. Eliminated all the complaints people have about those guns. Grip angle, grip safety. Created a perfect blend of those other successful polymer guns. Adding in features not normally seen on anything less than a $1000+ special forces designed weapon. It's a LOT of gun for the money.
Great review, can't wait to try one.....
M&P Pro C.O.R.E. pistol did not come with a mount for the new Leupold Deltapoint Pro optic. When I inquired to S&W, they said they are "not in development to make a new plate to fit their new design (S&W ticket # LTK111770118801x). What an absurd answer. Talk with S&W, Jerry.
+jon kim You can get a machinist to make you one. Pretty simple stuff, although you are right that S&W isn't being very smart by making one themselves. This resistance to make things modular to the way customers want is the only reason right now that I won't buy S&W and instead go with glock, which already has an established aftermarket and factory accessories. Still, glocks are going up in price and M&P's are fairly cheap...
Jerry awesome review of the CORE and red dots, really learned a lot with this vid, thanks.
this guy is the best love him!
I want one!!! All features of the pistol are well thought out and as a person who wants no excuse shooting - This is it, all you have to do is shoot it properly using its' features.
i have watched this 3 time this is my next gun. did anyone else see lena in the trophy case glass
I like the Costa Ludas version as well, I might be getting one of these to replace the Glock 19 that I just sold.
I just bought an M&P9 PRO that is going to replace my G34 as my production division gun. Been thinking the CORE with a Carver comp, magwell, guiderod, APEX AEK trigger, CMore STS, and a Costa extended mag release would be a nice M&P rig for the open division. Thanks for the video Jerry. I'll see you at the Pro-Am.
Thanks for the great info, I just got my wife an M&P to join mein IDPA shooting, to bad we cannot use optics there. Nice shooting
Awesome gun, awesome video, but it isn't exactly a challenge for Jerry to make any drill look easy. Guy could make a Hi-Point look like a competition worthy gun. He is one of the best pistol shooters ever.
fair point
Got the Pro which basically is the same gun, installing an Apex trigger kit on it (comes with 4lb and 5lb pull, gonna try the 4lb) as well as reset mechanism and Apex comp spring. Can't wait to test it against my SIG 1911 (for my personal collection that's the gun to which I compare all my other shooters to. Combat pistols like my USPc .45, duty/carry i kinda hold to a different standard, y'know?)
The price that I received for a Smith & Wesson M&P9L Pro Series C.O.R.E. was $730. The sight I decided on was EOTECH MRDS for $325, that's 50% off retail. The pistol came with discounts coupons on mini optic sights.
5:28 Lena in the reflection in the mirror picking her nose lol!
This review convinced me to buy one it's a 5 " in .40 SW with an RMR great shooter
Lovely technique you fire and has virtualy no recoil pulling you're arm up
Imagine how fast he'd be with a 3-4 port Carver compensator on that CORE. WOW!!!
holy heck, i couldn't shoot that fast if i had a twitch in my finger and i stuttered....
Core 9mm is a awesome piece of hardware I wouldn't trade mine in for anything
Amazing, simply amazing!
Best video on this particular gun. I just got my 9mm core. And your video answered my questions. Thank you Jerry!
I have the M&P C.O.R.E. and have enjoyed it. Thanks for the in depth review...
I wish they made an extra small backstrap, I like how small it is without any grips on it
Have you ever seen a case where the person manually ejected the unfired round into their hand and the primer hit the port/ejector causing the round to go off in their palm? Heard it mentioned once...
EXCELLENT vid Jerry. Thanks!
It looks like the hand rides very high, which is good. The bore axis of the SIGs in that regard are ridiculously tall. Very nice demo.
all hammer fired handgun have high bore axis, it's the nature of the way hammer fired handguns work.
steeltimberwolf Sure, but the SIG has always struck me as rather extreme. It may just be my subjective assessment though. I have never measured it.
I think it rides high in the hand and feels oddly bulky. I personally prefer something like the hi-power or CZ style guns (among hammer fired guns)
trefod
I can see what you mean. I learned to shoot handguns on a Sig p226 and can say I enjoy shooting them. The only reason I don't carry one for work is the weight of a all metal firearm on my hips get tiring after 10+ hours.
If mounting your sights on a slide was a problem in a first place, there would be a big problem with iron sites.
What I want to know, is where else do you mount them on a modern pistol? lol.
GamerNxUSN Exactly. Although you could get one of those rail mounted things that puts a rail above the slide.
GamerNxUSN
You can mount the sights on the barrel. You will usually see this on fixed barrel pistols like the Ruger Mark III.
I wish to come back as Jerry Miculek my next life.
This guy must sell so many S&W M&P. Now he's got me thinking about getting one.
10 years later and your predictions all came to fruition.
Have the core 9mm PC with leupold and x-five SAO...both shoot well...but the x-five SAO is more accurate for me when I shoot from 25M fast shooting..maybe it's mine technic ;)
I really like my Smith and Wesson pistols especially my m&p! I inherited all my grandfathers reloading equipment and cast bullets. He had thousands of lead cast swc bullets are those ok to run through the m&p pistols? What do you recommend?
I just start giggling every time I see Jerry shoot.. He is unbelievably fast. Wish I could just shoot 10 times slower than Jerry...
Hey Jerry love watching you work m8.Jerry I am going to buy the palm swells from the ICORE for my M&P9L, Is the different texture on the ICORE palm swells a lot better grip wise as my only issue with the M&P is the grip gets a little slippery for me when my hands get sweaty. I shoot IPSC production so no stippling allowed.cheers Marty
YOU DA MAN!! JUST ORDERED MY FIRST CORE AND OPTICS, CANT WAIT!!
GREAT info & review - thanks for the info!
Son says have more fun, get an optic on the M&P Pro 9mm. So I'm considering the upgrade to either a CORE sku# 178058 and have it Mag-na-port'ed, or would the Performance center model factory ported sku# 10098 be the better option. Thoughts?
thanks Jerry. I learned alot - did they also change the twist rate on the .40s? i found the old rate of twist kept heavy .40 bullets from going too slow or they destabilized. I have to run my idpa loads (180 plated) about 145-150 pf or the groups look like a shotgun pattern. The faster twist might let me drop a couple 10ths of powder for even softer recoil.
Jerry, when you say 147 gr "lead reloads" does that mean hard cast lead? or copper plated lead?
Awesome video sir! Thank you very much 👍
What is the real difference in shooting between the 4,25" and 5".
Is the 5" better at longer ranges or is it more of a personal choice and no real benefit for either size.
Longer sight radius.
That makes sence, sow for the longer shots its more accurate. But steel/action shooting it generally not done it long ranges. My guess is the 4,25" is the better option.
Next gun on my list...
Free advertising for S&W. :) Who better than a multiple world champ. :) Surprised you weren't asked to be included in their M&P Core commercial or ads.
The way those loads were Smokin' it can
be only one bullet -- L-E-A-D !
Great shooting Jerry, you are the man.
how the hell does he do that. he makes it look so easy.
hello world practice practice practice practice practice practice and
read more
Holy smokes. I just hope to get half ( OK - maybe 1/8) as good as you! Good shooting!
gret vid, thanks Jerry
Huge fan or your and the M&P, I use a standand M&P9L with Apex internals. Thanks again
Mr. Miculek, I have recently purchased an M&P 2.0 CORE from the performance center, and was wondering what your preferred red dot optic is for it
+1sub for a superb review. great job and unreal shooting!! i love the American made!
I love 2 c Jerry shoot! Best shooter ever n my opinion, his feats on "Impossible Shots” shows r classic! If u haven’t seen them check them out! Okay, now 4 the rub! I may b incorrect with this; but, u have 2 remember that one of Jerry’s big sponsors is S&W and I like 2 hear a fairly bias opinion of a gun. If S&W put out a bad gun, Jerry can’t really give his true opinions @ least not publicly or there might be repercussions and law suits. I would love 2 hear a novice opinion on this gun.
Hello Mr. Miculek,
I'm buying a Trijicon for the same set up on a 5" core was thinking of the RMo6 with a 3.25 MOADot. do you think I would be better served with the RM07 6.50 MOA?
My Use will be some speed shooting, plinking and CCW in a cross draw holster, it's getting close to winter here and I'm wearing a jacket daily.
Thank you in advance Sir
Does the suppressed height sight change the method of aiming your weapon without red dot in comparison to the low profile sights?
Jerry, at the time of my post its 7/18/16 and s&w performance center makes a ported version of the m&p pro core 5" but in your videos you mention magnaport. Do you feel any difference between the s&w ported core and a core that's ported by magnaport? Which do you prefer?
I have a M&P Pro Series but it's not the C.O.R.E. model. Same gun just not optic ready.
Awesome video!! I see the CORE has raised White Dot Dovetail sights, do they have raised Fiber Optic sights for this model? Thanks for the great videos!
Man, I wish I had a trophy room like that lol
I wish I had 50% of Mr. Miculek's talent then I'd be 100% better than now. 😏
Jerry your the man.
did all of S&Ws QC people quit? i got 2 new pistols in a week and both were assembled wrong. I doubt seriously id ever buy another
Does this fit the vortex razor red dot and if so which Moa dot do you think would be best for home defence and everyday carry? Thank you I absolutely love your videos!!
This 5" gun with an APEX trigger is the best hand gun to shoot even better than most 1911s
Isn't the tool at the bottom for the disconnect?
you can use it to trip the sear engagement lever, but it also keeps the back strap on the grip
+Mr300blackout 762x35 It was sarcastic. he had the tool out right then to do it, out it away and used something else.
+Sean Cooper
that went
right over my head!! lol, I didn't even catch that.
+Mr300blackout 762x35 lol, I just thought it was funny
sub 2 second plate rack.
Thank you for sharing. :D
Would the 4.5 make a better conceal n carry vs the 5? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to carry either one? Thanks
What make/model holster would you recommend?
I'm a gun dummy, But a lot of these handguns look the same and it seems that you could interchange the barrels...Sig 226 / 227. S&W 9mm /.40 cal . Glock. etc...But I'm assume the manufacture has made small /little differences so this is not possible. What you say?
if u get the mp40 you can swap out the 40S&W barrel and mags for 9mm. alot of people do this. you cant do that with the others calibres
You're right, most of the polymer pistols are similar in appearance, but none of the parts are interchangeable between manufacturers. Certain models share parts and barrels can be swapped in the same family like 10mm/.40/.357 Sig, depends mostly on the breach face dimensions. I've heard of people shooting 9mm through .40s with a barrel swap, but I've never tried dissimilar calibers like that. I have fired .40s through my G20 without a barrel swap, and other than short ejection, it runs completely normal.
Out of pure curiosity, how about magna/quadra-porting on a 2011 open div. pistol ?
Thats some fine shootin Mr. M.
Great review!!!! How does it compare to your competition race gun?
Great Vid, Jerry. Wish those dots would come down in price. A new M&P + a $400 red dot is going t be hard to swing!
Good times 400 jus got mine at 800 2021
I have this pistol, but for some reason, I just cant shoot it as well as you. Wish I was able to practice at home like you. Just not an option in NJ.
marcb2k Don't feel bad. There aren't a lot of people in the world that shoot as well as him and that's including people that can practice daily.
Excellent vid
you can never go wrong with S&W
So why when he shoots it sounds like a little pop and the gun doesn't move. When my friends and I shoot it sounds like a damn cannon and gun kicks like a mule.
Jerry is the Chuck Norris of shooting lol!
Great review
I have one, I love it
Thank u!!
Hi Jerry, did you shoot the CORE out of the box or with modifications?
Awesome gun 🙂
