I own the competitors; XDs & Glocks. I like the polly guns with the short DAO triggers. When in Bud's Gun Shop buying my XD subcompact I held the M&P and loved the ergonimics. After reading this forum and other articles, the M&P seemed to be a hit. I guess I just had to have one. Will let you know later after I put it through it's paces. Carrying an XD SC right now but may change to the slightly larger M&P .40 depending on how I like it.
Thanks for the welcome.
