I have never fired the M&P, but I got to spend some time handling a compact in 9mm the other day. It was definitely a more natural fit for me, especially with the interchangeable backstraps. The fit and finish seemed much nicer than a Glock, but only time will tell how they'll do for reliability and accuracy in the long run.

From what I hear the S&W's are decent weapons. Not my gig but if thats what you have to use you can learn to love it. The only problem I have with S&W's in general is the mag safety. I don't like that it won't fire without the mag in. Some people love that same feature.................Last edited by Monkeybomb; 08-21-2008, 09:35 PM.The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

+1 to JohnnyReb. You can get the M&P with or without the magazine disconnect safety (I don't care for it either, although I can argue why it makes sense on some levels).
You can also get some variants with a 1911 style thumb safety.
I think the M&P is a greatly improved weapon over previous Smith autos. I slightly prefer the Glock because of the long record of durability, but the M&P is winning alot of converts.
I think Glock should realize that Glock Perfection needs to be updated, possibly with a new pistol the way Springfield is bringing out the XDM. Ambidextrous mag release, interchangable grip straps, the ability to field strip without pulling the trigger, and second strike trigger pull would all be welcome additions for my money."A fanatic is one who won't change his mind, and won't change the subject." -Winston Churchill

Up here in Ohio, Columbus and Cincinnati PD both issue the new M&P 40. I'm not aware of any complaints. They are a hot topic on the gun forums. It must be a reliable and accurate because competition shooters are starting to use the M&P. That's a positive sign for any new production model firearm.The views/opinions expressed here are solely mine. I'm retired and I don't care. I truly do not want to offend anyone, but if you are thin skinned and have no sense of humor, you better find another line of work. Therefore, I don't have to be politically correct and I will exercise my freedom of speech, until it's taken away. May God bless all retirees. We've done our duty and earned our peace.
