Sidearms & Scatterguns Best overall barrel length for duty/comp gun

[Jmccracken1214]

After being on a cz kick, Ive started using m&p 2.0's. Ran a 5" a few years ago in 2 gun matches, loved it.

Currently have 2 m&p 4" models... Looking to possibly part ways with my P10F for another m&p and just wanted to see if the 5" m&p is worth grabbing again over a 4-4.25" model... Will be a HD/match gun.

I think only you can answer that. Do you like the longer or shorter sight radius.They have different recoil impulses. Which do you shoot faster and more accurately?

Or possibly buy a complete M&P 5 inch CORE top end?

Are you using a dot or irons? If a dot then barrel length isn’t quite as important in 9mm…I’d say 4-4.5”

Most likely a dot. Im not 100% with them, and at distance, do better with irons currently. But the dot is the future.
