So, if a manufacturer doesn't have a big LE or military contract their
product(s) are to be avoided? Is that your conclusion?
Does that apply to Colt, Ruger, CZ, Kimber,
etc. as well? What a totally inane argument.
Probably because they know they can't compete.
Law Enforcement and Military contracts are the Holy Grail of service pistol manufactures. If a company doesn't even enter trials, it's a bad sign for their pistol.

Shooting Times said:As the M&P slide goes forward, the tail of the striker remains in a partially cocked position. The M&P uses a double-action-only (DAO) trigger that provides a 6.5-pound trigger stroke of 0.30 inches, which completely retracts the striker before tripping the sear. The trigger pull is exactly the same for each shot, providing the legendary consistency and accuracy of the double-action revolver. Another nice touch is a trigger overtravel stop that eliminates overtravel after the trigger trips the sear, which reduces the likelihood of flinching and thus enhances accuracy.
Dun Burwell said:Q: Glocks strikers are pre-cocked somewhat--how about the M&Ps striker?
A: Mostly cocked
pulling the trigger rotates the sear downwards, the angle on the rear face of the sear causes a caming action against the striker moving the striker to the rear very slightly, thus finishing the "cocking".

They asked to see the xd9sc and the guy behind the counter almost went off the hook about how big of a POS that gun is
How many police forces are issued this gun, none!
Its made in croatia.. POS
Its not really a Springfield armory gun, its a sub contracted POS
If carried cocked it has a fully tentioned striker (not safe)
He said "get one grain of sand in that grip safety and the gun is paralyzed"
Springfield armory spends more money on advertising than all others
Springfield armory lied and tried to say the xd was made in America..
Yes, it says Croatia in the side, but doesn't it say U.S.A. larger? And doesn't SA run ads that say stuff like "The first name in American firearms"?
