This M&P 9mm from Smith & Wesson has a stainless steel slide, coated in Durable PVD and with a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish. The M&P9 VTAC® is a result of Smith & Wesson and Viking Tactics teaming up to upgrade the M&P9 with high-end and high-performance features. The Viking Sights on this pistol were designed specifically for the M&P, and they are unlike any other sights on the market. In the design of the M&P, the needs of military and law enforcement were considered from every conceivable angle. No other polymer pistol offers this combination of versatility, durability and safety. To top it off, the M&P series is covered under Smith & Wesson’s Lifetime Service Policy.
The design of the Viking Sight will enhance your ability to close with and destroy the threat, day or night. The Viking Sight from Viking Tactics, Inc. features a tapered front sight that will draw you immediately to the correct aiming point. This sight is not only tapered for speed, but to help with accuracy at distance when needed. The tapered sight leads to an indestructible fiber optic that will help to drive your focus where it is needed. These sights are extremely fast.
The rear sight notch has also been cut lower than normal to not only enhance speed, but to allow the shooter to see the tritium vials that have been inserted below the fiber optic. The Viking Sight will allow you to have the fine aiming point that you want and need, coupled with fiber optic to help draw your attention. If the sun goes down you are now able to use the tritium that is slightly below the fiber optic.
The gun arrived with a blemish on the front of the slide, both sides. Left side blemish was much more pronounced. The gun functions flawlessly so far and I'm overall satisfied.
Really like the sights, So far running like a top. Color is great and the finish is not wearing like some reviews have said. Now for the trigger.. Yuck why would Smith build such a great gun and leave such a lousy trigger inside.. I cleaned mine up by polishing and it will do until I get the apex installed. Now for Sportsmas Outdoor Superstore. Super fast shipping. I'll be back for more, couldn't be happier.
I was leery of this place because the price was so low but everything was perfect! They have a new customer. As for the gun, the trigger is a little gritty but otherwise the gun is extraordinary.
