I dont have to ask anyone because i own them I know that 99% of fuckers who complain about them are just not good shooters and spend too much time on too many websites complaining when they could be dryfiring or actually shooting. Im not worrried about hearing anything negative because i know most is just hear say. I dont have any problems because they typically are operator error. My real point to you is dont get on here running your mouth listing shit like your some fucking authority on the mattertrying to point out pros and cons when you have minimanl experince on the matter. Stop perpetuating a rumor. and if you want to talk about negative just call any one in the (gunsmith) business who actually does trgger jobs and you will hear ass loads of horror stories about drop in shit. Makes you wonder if its the maker or the installer. so it goes both ways. bottem line stop typing and start shooting!

The original poster asking for information has no problem with what I wrote. Only you seem to have the problem. Fact is you have no clue what my level of experience is on the subject. You don't think I know what I am talking about? Good for you. As I wrote I couldn't care less what your opinion is of my knowledge on the subject. When Glock was having all kinds of problems with their Gen 4 guns A-holes like you were telling everyone that it was all operator error and internet rumor. The company itself was even telling guys like Ken Hackathorn he was the problem. Many of the things I wrote about were either issues I encountered with my M&Ps or directly from the mouths of Hackathorn and Larry Vickers. Not rumor, not something I heard from someone else (BTW it is HEARSAY not hear say). The OP asked for opinions, it is up to him to decide what makes sense for him. Your idiotic stop typing and start shooting comment does nothing for him. Frankly you have not added a damn thing worth reading to this discussion. There are some very squared away individuals on M4C and Lightfighter who have discussed these topics, only a fool would dismiss them as "fuckers" who don't know what they are talking about. Why don't you share all of your amazing knowledge on the M&P and actually give the OP some useful information?

Page one guy 8th post. And I dont give a shit about anyone elses guns. So if anyone else has a problem then deal with it. The bottem line is no matterwho it is 99% of problems are operator error. Stop bringing up Glocks in a M&P thread.

"Do it" in bold blue letters. Great advice. Follow that up with suggesting he get a trigger job and new Storm Lake barrels. If you ever meet Vickers or Hackathorn please let me know so I can be there when you thrill them with your wisdom.

I didn't ask for nor do I need your permission to enter

I recently went from a beautiful Sig P228 that I'd carried for a decade to an M&P40. The GF got herself a 9c. Both guns are excellent. I'll be getting a 9mm and .357sig barrel for my full size, and I will be buying a 9c for myself for CCW. I am thoroughly impressed with these pistols, and don't miss the Sig at all, which I never would have predicted.

Id suggest picking up one m&p and run the hell out of it to truely see if you like it.
If by chance you do, then trade/sell off guns you don't have a lot of investment in for more of the m&p family.
S&w has a m&p in every flavor.

I picked one up a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it.
Mine was fresh from factory, only a couple weeks old and I've had no issues with "unlocking early".

The trigger was a lil crunchy but 100rds later and I have to hold my breath, turn off tv's and a/c and hold it to my ear to hear and feel a "crunch".

I was accustomed to 1911s and I'm not finicky enough to have this percieved "issue" with the trigger.

I was under the impression that you can remove the thumb safety. I'd get it just so I had that option in the future.

You can get the thumb safety plugs direct from S&W or from Speed Shooters Specialties.

I'll do my best to talk you into an M&P. My handgun experience starts with going through a police academy with a Sig 220, then moving to a Glock 21, then moving to a Glock 17 for duty and 19 for off duty. I felt that I had found perfection for both on and off duty. I felt that the 9mm Glocks were excellent guns, especially the 19 which I came to feel was the perfect general purpose handgun. My department decided to go to a universal issued gun and settled on the M&P 40. I felt this was a mistake and was mad about being forced to change. I had never shot a 40cal that I liked. I felt that the recoil was far more than most 9mms and significantly affected my follow up shot speed and accuracy while offering a minimal terminal ballistics.

My feelings changed after being issued my M&P 40. What an outstanding weapon. Slightly more felt recoil than my G17, but by far the lightest recoiling 40 I've ever shot. My M&P has been exceptionally accurate. Being forced to use only stock triggers I have to say that I like the M&P trigger better than the Glock, which is what I compare to any other defensive handgun I shoot. My only complaint would be that the trigger reset is longer and not as distinct as the Glock. The ergonomics are superior to the Glock. The grip is comfortable and natural. Yeah for no more slide bite!

I traded my G17 for a M&P 40c. The Glock 19 is in the safe and I carry strickly M&Ps. I'm even considering selling my Glock 19 and all of the mags, holsters, and 9mm ammo to buy another M&P 40 and more M&P gear. For other people this may not mean much, but I'm a poor cop who doesn't sell guns that I've developed a deep trust in. To be willing to trade what was one of my favorite handguns to completely transition to the M&P hopefully says a lot.

I just wish S&W would come out with a 9/40/357 version of the 45 Compact. Its identical in size to the G19 and I love that size for off duty carry. It may offer minimal performance advantage over the M&P 40c, but I would feel more comfortable with it. I would consider myself a gun nut. I love shooting different guns, but I have no desire to own any other defensive semi auto handguns besides the M&P 40 line. I don't like to transition between different guns and tend to just stick with what works once I find what I like. The M&P is the best I've shot yet.
