I got a chance to shoot an M&P in 9mm yesterday. Don't know for certain which variant, but it had a 4" barrel. I put 100 rounds through it and liked it quite a bit. It shot to POA for me on the first shot and every shot, and it seemed pretty accurate.
My only complaint is that the trigger seemed to have a bite to it in recoil. The recoil was manageable, and I was able to stay on target just fine with it. It wasnt painful at all, but there was a definite sting to my trigger finger that I don't normally get from other guns. (I guess I should also note it was about 25 deg F, and I was outside, with no gloves....)
I haven't shot any other polymer guns like the M&P so I was left wondering if this sting is common to guns this size, due to the light weight and increased muzzle flip? Or is this just an M&P thing?
It wasn't a big deal either way. I want to handle/shoot an FNP9 first, but I will probably buy an M&P sometime anyhow. They're nice guns.
