I have heard that the M&P is the best S&W auto in years, and I have also heard it's nothing more than a revamped Sigma. Tell the truth. I know Sigma's have a hard trigger pull, and not much can be done with them ( reasonably anyway).
Thanks |

I know Sigma's have a hard trigger pull, and not much can be done with them ( reasonably anyway). Thanks There are a number of falsehoods out there about S&W pistols. The 3rd generation S&W pistols are, in general, very good handguns...especially the steel framed ones. They aren't sexy, but they work. The Sigma was a piss poor attempt at a Glock. The SW99 was a crappy handgun. The M&P is a completely new weapon designed around the idea of making the striker-fired polymer pistol better than Glock did. By all reports it succeeds at that. I've heard Ken Hackathorn call the M&P the "pistol of the future" with my own ears. It's serving very well in a number of police agencies that have adopted it. It's in the running for some federal LE pistol contracts. It was designed with the input of genuine experts and it's been refined with the input of knowledgeable end users. |

The Sigma was by most accounts that I have heard, a piece of crap.
The idea that is still kicking around in corners of the internet that the M&P is just a re-hash of the SIGMA is BS and seems to have originated from the segment of the glock crowd that thinks that the only good gun ever made was a glock. I have used both and find the M&P to be way better for me. (for all the reasons mentioned above) The SIGMA = M&P dogma has been debunked by the facts, and the M&P has turned out to be a very good polymer gun that is quite competitive if not superior to the glock. You should try to find a way to test out both before you buy. That way you can make up your own mind. |

my department issues the M&P.40, egronomics are great, shoots dead on, the only minor gripe I have about it is the trigger reset seem longer than that of the glocks, but that is a matter of preference. It an excellent gun. Trigger reset can be reduced a bunch. |
