I owned an m&p 3 yrs ago. I took it to a pistol class and after a 25 yd bench test showed 10" groups and a lousy trigger I traded it for a g19.

I loved the ergonomics of the m&p, but nothing else. Recently, I heard s&w changed the barrels and improved the triggers on the M&P.
I went to the gun shop and dry fired an M&P and I was surprised. The trigger was much more smooth, whereas the Glock trigger felt more mechanical.

Made in the U.S.A. made me also come back. I always told people that if S&W could get their act together and put out a better barrel and trigger I would come back. Glad I did.
