I was able to get my hands on one at Cabela's yesterday. They didn't have them on display but the sale guy brought one out for me to play with. The grip seems very thin, like thinner than my CM9. However, the gun was heavier, and longer. The trigger is much improved(dry fires) than the regular M&P. I was seriously tempted to buy it until I saw the price. $449! I sware that's MSRP! I'm probably going to pass on this as I don't see it as an upgrade to my CM9. I did buy a new Walther PPQ. Now that is one sweet pistol!
