Tried out my new M&P40 today. Have never shot a 40 caliber before and I have a handicap- I lost the tip of my trigger finger in an industrial accident years ago so my trigger control leaves something to be desired. One reason that I got the M&P is that I can reach the trigger fairly easily. I really like this gun- put a hundred rounds through it without a single hiccup. It is easy for me to handle-better than my Berreta 92 or my Sistema 45. Did some aimed fire and then some point shooting. Very easy to handle and kept everything on target . I think I'll be back out with it again tomorrow. To anyone thinking of getting one don't hesitate. Rich
