The M&P .45 was designed initially as a potential military handgun and was entered to compete for the military joint services contract before it was canceled.

They are extremely durable and reliable. I have two full size. Models. One I carry and the other I train with. They feed and function with everything I put in them and I have countless thousands of rounds through one.

I have had or used most of the guns mentioned and the M&P is my favorite.
