Ummmmm.....no. My agency issues it. It is junk. The entire agency's allotment of M&P 45s has been recalled once. Im on my second but some deputies are on their 3rd, 4th, or 5th. Last time we qualified (March) out of 12, 3 failed on the line and had to be replaced on the line. Failures to fire, failures to feed, failures to eject, broken strikers, front sights (and rear) falling off, rusted magazines, rusted slides, chipped finishes on the slides, disfigured followers, and stripped out grip insert pins just to name a few. And to think these replaced 4566s. I believe we traded one for one, but I could be wrong. One of the big selling points was switchable inserts for smaller hands....when I measured, the 4566 with a straight grip was smaller around than my M&P with the smallest insert.

If you want a great 45, buy a 3rd generation S&W. They are the best. You want polymer? Buy a Glock 21.......remember, it is the pistol all other poly pistols are chasing.
