S&W makes nice guns I just don't like the safety feature in which it takes a certain amount of pressure to pull the trigger. Does make the pull a little harder then other guns!!

Let me know how you like it. I own a Sig 229r 40 cal and love it, but looking into a 2nd 40 cal. So for me it's between the Springfield XDm or the S&W M&P.

Omg. Been contemplating this purchase for months now. I think I like it better than a glock. A trigger mod and this gun is all you need IMO. Please let me know how you like it.

Will do. The only feature I'm not crazy about is the safety. There two different types of safety's for this weapon. A small mod and it'll be just what I need. However, it is a little too big for concealing.

The 229 is double the price but I feel it's worth it. Don't get me wrong, I love my MP, but that 229 will give you everything you can get out of this MP and more.

Ya, I know. I'm just looking into a secondary pistol. My 229 will always come first, and as a Primary weapon, I love it. It's extremely reliable, and has never let me down. I've been thinking for a long while about a good secondary, and have been open to something in a little lower price range. Again its a back up option.

Even though I JUST got my M&P today. I've been looking at revolvers all day long. Can't go wrong with a nice compact S&W revolver.

No, mine is a 229r with the serrations on the front of slide, Siglite night sights all around, 12rd clips. Basically the 229r Elite Dark, but no aluminum grip, its plastic.
