I bought my M&P because of three things:
how I thought it looked (good)
it was black
built in America

I've never wanted a chrome/nickle gun to be easily seen in low light conditions. I've always wanted a black gun. Sure I could get something like a 3914, but I dug the M&P. I'm happy with my purchase.

It being American is important to me because how many products are left being manufactured in the US? Our nation and economy was built on what WE BUILT. How many things do you own that were built here now?

My car
My gun
My house (hehe)

I can't think of much else & that's sad to me.
