The Smith M&P is a truly great pistol, and it is about time!
For decades, Smith & Wesson had the duly deserved reputation for making the finest revolvers and the worst semi-autos. The M&P changed that, finally, and it's great to see that Smith is working to fix the mushy trigger issues. I also hope Smith will introduce a .45 model with a larger capacity magazine--13 vs. the "California ten."
What? You believe that 3rd Generation Smith & Wesson pistols are among the worst?
I have to disagree! The 59XX, 45XX, 10XX, 39XX, are some of the best ever made. Some dislike the double action/single action, but for what they are, they a fine machines.
