I see lots of cops in mass carrying M&P's
FS .40s and .45s
How many Military & Police actually carry the M&P?

FS .40s and .45s
Our county and 3 local PDs all joined together for a group buy of FS M&P 9s.
Local PD also issued Shield 9s to detectives.
State Troopers carry FS M&P 40s.

Australia, too
My Victoria Police 3" Model 10 (an M&P except in name) trade-in arrived in the plain brown box from the new M&P that replaced it (or one of it's mates)

i wonder what the percentages are now, i'm seeing more and more footage of police bodycam using m&p 2.0s
i think percentages now is like 40% glock, 60% m&p

You beat me to it. Watching Police Activity and Video Leak Police on YouTube I see quite a few M&Ps. Especially in California of all places.

I prefer my M&P 2.0's in 9mm and 45ACP to my Glock Gen 5 17 and Gem 4 21. Would love to get a M&P 10mm once I find some reloading components for it.
One of my favorite shops has been a revolving door for cadets in the Denver PD current academy all buying 9mm M&Ps-most with the red dot plate. I believe Colorado State Patrol has moved from .40 to 9 M&Ps. Lots of M&Ps being carried by the many departments in the Denver metro area.

Yes, Victoria and South Australia Police Forces both use M&P's. The rest of the States in Australia use Glocks.
(We only have State Police and Federal Police in Australia).

Agreed. I spent a lot of years carrying issued SIG Sauer P220's, and ended my career with an issued Gen 5 Glock 17. Now that I'm free to carry whatever I want to, I carry Smith & Wesson.

Didn't see a mention of the Califorrnia Highway Patrol moving to the M&P in 40 caliber years ago. The security company I used to work for issued the M&P 40 for years. They changed to the FN 509 but mostly to change calibers. I never really liked the M&P but love my Shield 2 and Shield +.

Not sure if it's been mentioned before....but I'll add Austin, Texas PD and the Kenner, La PD (suburb of New Orleans) to the list of those issued M&P's
New Mexico State Police went to M&P 9mm a few years ago. The pistol is well-liked by the troops, the caliber not so much (they went to 9mm from 357 Sig).
Fresno Ca. Sheriff issues the MP 45.
My local LE is transitioning from Glock to M&P
I never did care what the military or the LE carried . Most times what is issued is price driven . Some departments allow officer to pick from a list they buy it as department cost and after qualifying its there duty carry too . I carry a lw commander in 45acp or a m&p full size 40sw

From the figures quoted by the gun reps visiting our store, it's 65% Glock, & 35% everything else. Our county LE uses Glock 22 for road patrol, & Glock 23 for detectives. GARY.
