Let me start by saying my name is Mike and I am an addict (Firearms are my addiction

). I have read the multiple threads involving various opinions on pistols going back long before I joined the forum, but wanted current opinions specifically on the S&W M&P. I own too many handguns to even count by now, but I still can't pass up a good deal when it comes my way. My go to will always be one of my USP variants or one of my Sigs (I also love all my 1911's despite the flaws, but I'm not taking them to a gunfight......just fun range time). I know how TS/Reaper and many other highly respected QP's feel about 1911's and where S&W's are produced, so I'm ready for the ridicule

.
Now after that long winded preface, I'm ready for the opinions. I purchased the M&P for $368 out the door with three high caps after my LEO discount. I have had zero opportunity to get it on the range, so I obviously can't make my own decision on it yet. It's a 9mm 4.25" base model, thankfully with no thumb safety. If I like the way it shoots, it will end up living full time in my vehicle just in case I forget to grab one one of my higher end pistols. If I don't like the way it shoots, or QP's here give it bad reviews it will be sold or traded.
I would normally not ask a question like this, but I have been out of town a lot and don't know when I will get the chance to put a few downrange.
I appreciate any and all input. If anyone wants to comment good or bad, feel free to pm me if you don't want to state your opinion in public.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
