I understand many people want to "evolve" a weapon to fit their desires. I've scoped more than a few Mausers.
I just want reliable function...accuracy...and lethal.
PLUS available ammo. The M&P fits that requirement. I'm not changing anything.
Had I intended to spend $2000 plus, on an AR....changing/adding parts...I would not have gone with the M&P.
However, for the job intended, I figure it is more than enough.
If not, I have these ratty AK 47's....bountiful 7.62x39 ammo...and know them well....
Still, I like my MP very well....
Actually, what you ask (and are ostensibly being a "pooper" about) applies to some people and virtually every firearm ever made. There is nothing unique here to S&W rifles or S&W rufle owners.

It is much like asking the mountain climber why he (or she) climbed a particular mountain. People change things because they can, because they change their minds, get bored, or are merely fickle.

For many, the question is not why, but why not?
