All of my M&Ps (3) have a distinct reset to them after polishing the striker block. One uses the Apex sear and block and became the pattern for the other two "home fixed". They may not be as audible as my 1911 but I shoot with muffs on and wouldn't hear the difference anyway. Also haven't shot enough people to know if I'm a "double tap" kinda guy or not, I just train to hit what I'm aiming at.
As far as caliber goes I like the 40 S&W primarily for the availability of brass. Every trip to the gun club yields as much as I care to reload and it's free. Rare are the times I can gather more than a dozen .45 ACP casings as they seem to follow the shooter home.
I may yet add a few more M&Ps to my pile in the future and the .45 would certainly be in the running. The other would be the new VTac model offered currently in 9mm and 40 S&W with both tritium and fiber optic sights (stacked 3 dots atop 3 dots on the same sights).
Neither caliber carries the magic bullet guarantee so decide which is economically feesable to train with (or just *GASP* enjoy) and choose the platform you feel comfortable with be it Smith, Ruger, Springfield or Glock. You've got two great questions to consider and a whole lot of right answers available.
Good luck and good shooting.
