The problem I have is with 1911 shooters switching to the M&P who demand that it be like a 4# single action trigger, which requires much work and makes the gun questionable for daily carry.
As to safety, the stock M&P has 3 internal safeties, and will not fire unless the trigger is pulled. You need a good holster that does not have a strap to catch in the trigger guard (I recommend the Safariland ALS, Brownells $47.50) and you need to keep your finger out of the trigger guard until the pistol is pointed at your intended target.
Good shooting!
P.S. My competition revolvers have a 7# trigger pull, and they are as safe as stock, just are picky about what primers they will reliably fire.

Thanks for the info! I'm looking at a full size M&P .40 so I don't plan on carrying it concealed. It will be a house defense or an "all hell breaks loose" sidearm. However, I'm looking into a M&P Shield 9mm as another possible carry option as well.

No offense, but you need to learn to shoot the pistol and learn its manual of arms ( a good instructor helps) before you start trying to redesign the trigger.

I have no intention of redesigning the trigger, just wanted to know if it had a built in adjustment. Another poster here implied that it did, and it sounds like he was wrong.
