Specifically talking about the internals...
I mean, when I compare the inside of my M&P9 to my XD9, the XD just looks so much 'beefier'. There seems to be much more substance to the metal parts of the XD than there is to the same/similar parts of the M&P (slide rails, trigger mechanisms).
I love my M&P9, but all I've shot through it is plain-jane 115gr ammunition...I'm kind of leery to shoot any +p for fear of damaging what appear to be unfortified internals.
