Going forward I will be limiting myself strictly to the M&P 9 and on those occasions when I can't conceal an M&P 9 an M&P Shield 9mm.

In my experience, Glocks equipped with the NY-1 trigger spring are interchangeable with a DAO revolver--very similar trigger pulls. The NY-1 was created for precisely this reason--for police that were used to DA revolvers. The NY-1 spring makes a Glock have consistent resistance right from the start of the trigger pull, and the resistance is usually described as 8lbs.

I know you already have bought the M&P, which is good because it's your gun and your life.
But...I'd highly recommend shooting an IDPA or similar match (something that gets you moving while manipulating and shooting your carry gun.) since it seems most if not just about all of your shooting/training has been on a square range.
It has helped me a lot shooting from non traditional positions in the cold, rain and heat. I'm not in them to get the fastest time and beat everyone else nor do I use game guns, just my carry guns.
This is just my opinion and worth what you paid for it.

Finances would be the limiting factor but I do agree with your concept

The local matches near me are $15 and require about 100 rounds of ammo for six different course of fire (Stages) and three magazines.

Smoke, I believe there is a far bigger issue at hand here than your weapon. You've been training for a threat to end after two bullets. While cutting out the safety reduces your recovery time, it doesn't change the fact that you will hesitate after two rounds. You're treating the symptom, but not the cause. You can still get yourself killed if you don't fix the training issue. I would also like to know why somebody would train to only ever fire two shots.
You need to go back and read the thread this issue has been covered.
The only time I stopped firing after two shot on this course was on the part of it where they wanted two hits on the target.

For the last year the trainer's have had us shooting at stationary paper targets and they are trying to add some realism to the training.
On this particular course when they gave me the go command I turned around and my first two targets were steel pie plates on stands, the idea was I shoot them until they fall down. Then I moved over to my cover because they're trying to teach us to use cover if possible instead of standing in the middle of a hallway blazing away at the guy like Jeanne Asaam did.
Once I got to my cover I had to engage a group of 3 targets, two steel targets and a paper target behind them. The Idea was to hit the steel targets without hitting the "innocent bystanders" behind them (real possibility in a crowded building like a church.)
My next cover was a door way, the wanted me to shoot around it at two more steel targets and then the poster target had a gun in its hand and two "hostages" but you had to move to be able to see the gun and hit the "shooter" without hitting the hostages.
The last station was a silhouette target with a balloon in the back of its head connected to a string holding the target up. The target was moving in the wind and the idea was to shoot until you hit the balloon and the target fell and "died"
