If you dont mind me asking, why threaded for a carry gun? I loves me some M&P after picked one up last winter and shooting it all USPSA season and running about 5k rounds through it.

More of a why not, in this case. Don't have a can for it yet.

I'm curious as to how a jury would react to the threaded barrel if the situation went downhill in a self defense situation.

...?

Any decent lawyer would be able to make them understand that a threaded barrel doesn't mean anything in that situation.
5
any great lawyer would be able to say the threaded barrel was a sign that they were going to go on a rampage similar to VA tech and that the poor poor victim wasn't trying to murder and rape. No they were trying to stop this savage act from happening and in the process sacrificed themselves to satisfy the bloodlust. Rapist? never. Assailiant? I think not! True American hero? Sadly, a past hero.
That is how a great lawyer would spin it.
edit: seriously gunnit, this is why we can't tell jokes.

Stock M&P 9C with a Storm Lake threaded barrel.

Nice, it come with all that? Used?
2
New in box. 2 mags and the barrel. Guy threw in some SureFire EP4's, though. Nice guy.

So much love for the M&P lately.
3
I'm a Glock guy, but I'd say the love for the M&P is well deserved.

I like their safe action trigger better than the Glock or XDs, otherwise we probably would have gone with the G19 or G26.

My coworker just bought his wife an M&P9c as well. I just recently bought an M&P40c to replace my G23. It feels very nice in the hand.
I very much prefer the trigger pull, and I don't mind the reset, it just takes some practice to get used to it. I don't think it'll be as "safe" in terms of clothing being caught on it, like I feel the Glock trigger was designed for. Being mindful of the trigger, though, should handle any concern there.
The full-size M&P grip is one of the most comfortable I've shot recently, and the compact is growing on me.

After we all realized what a joke the Glock Gen 4 was, it was like "Welp, what else is there?"
3
What's wrong with the new Glocks?
2
Widespread issues with ejection and function, probably due to the multiple recoil-system redesigns and strange tolerances in the extractor.
Lots of them work great, but some don't, which is bad for Glock.
8
Yikes. That's not good.
3
There's a recall of the recoil spring assembly, for good reason: [5 stoppages in ~575 rounds with the old assembly], versus [3 stoppages in over 30k rounds with the new assembly].
For comparison, the HK 45 went through just over 30k rounds without a stoppage.

Just got my wife the same thing, sans the threaded barrel for now.
3
That threaded end kind of looks just...clunky to me. Unsleek I guess. Kinda makes the gun look silly.
3
I think you looks silly.

I sold my 3rd gen G27 to buy my MP9c. I'm a huge fan of it, its very lefty friendly.

Your post reminded me of my uncle.
He bought his wife a muzzle loader for her Birthday or Christmas once. Mind you she isn't against guns but she doesn't enjoy guns herself at all. Of course it became his gun shortly after.

Ah, that's been my carry piece for the last few months. I friggin' love it.
Good luck with becoming it's new owner ;-)

Well it looks like an m&p. I typed this really fast in hopes that you couldnt read it. :p

Ha, funny because I've been trying to convince my wife she needs (read: I need) a compact M&P 40. I've got a XD40, atm, but it's not easy to carry.

Dibs! Dibs! I called it first! If she hates it I have first dibs! So, just PM me when she decides she hates it. I have a little home all prepared for such a little lovely.
I know how dibs work. I have brothers. Also, I am prepared to hold my breath for as long as it takes.
