When I tried the M&P at the S&W Shooting Center, it was about as wide as a 1911, but better rounded. They had the "medium" grip insert on at the Shooting Center which was a little too large for me. I like the Medium grip on the 9mm and the .40 S&W, so I'd probably find the small grip insert on the .45 just about right.
Basically, the pebbly looking part at the rear of the grip comes of and you can replace it with different sizes. Gun comes with 3 different ones.

i may just have to get an m&p now in dark earth...are those gonna be MA legal???
Nice pickup, Ray!
So is that in 9X19mm, Ray? Definetly a nice snag!
Nope, listed as 9mm Luger and marked as 9 M/M on the slide. All sites say they're 9mm.
Prettysure too. Granted my love for the european system for cartridge designations is like that guy who keeps talking about the weather using Centigrade

Largo = Large in Spanish. (^_^)
9x17 is also 9mm Kurtz (Short in German)
9x19 is also known as 9mm Parabellum which I understand means "suitable for war" or some such in German.
And since we're talking about 9mm, the .357 SIG actually uses the 9mm bullet which measures .355".
Still, nice C&R find.

The Germans got it from the Latin phrase "si vis pacem, para bellum", which means "If you want peace, prepare for war". So I guess it would mean "War-prepared" when joined together...

Isn't .38 Super (and its daddy .38 ACP) also 9X21mm?
Just picked up a Magnum Research Desert Eagle in 357 Mag. No safe queen here. Wen't to the range to put her through some paces before it even seen the safe!!
DE's in .357 are wicked cool. Much cheaper to shoot.

I guess I had to get one of these eventually,

It's a Yugo SKS if you can't see the temp pic I attatched.
When I get mine cleaned up I will post a proper pic. It's more like buying pounds of cosmoline with a gun inside....

Nope. 38 Super's case length is .9", which is 22.86 mm, which makes it a 9X23.

Damn... That's nice. I need to get on the ball and get me one of those! I've always wanted one. Now to find that money tree...
Great pick up! Get a chance to shoot it yet?
