I got a new m&p9fs and 45fs in January. The test fire on the 9 was Jan 2013, and the 45 Nov 2012. The 9 has a definite trigger reset. There is a solid click that you can hear and feel. The trigger reset on the 45 is pretty soft. Though, I can't say say for certain, since they are my first m&ps and I haven't really handled the "old" style (other than my NEW 45?) . This is just my observation to add to the conversation.
