The Shield's the only M&P I've bought because I hated the other M&Ps' triggers. I actually almost didn't even consider renting and trying the Shield in '12 when it came out because I thought its trigger would be as bad as the others. I'm glad I did rent it. It's been my EDC for almost three years now.

I've shot a half dozen or so. They were all very unsatisfactory. I had read the Shield was ~much~ better and I think that might have been the source of my dissatisfaction. It didn't meet my expectations.
Triggers being "good" or "bad" is all relative. I've never shot any M&P trigger (or any striker fired pistol for that matter; some of the Walthers come close) that was even in the same ballpark as a third gen S&W, SIG Classic or decent 1911.
I'm happy to say that with the Apex sear, the Shield is quite usable and, with its size, makes for a great carry gun.
