New Smith 9mm M&P and making accurate hits
I had tried to like Glocks, bought 2 or 3 of them over the years and really worked at shooting them well. I just couldn't do it.
I owned a Glock 17 when the M&P came out. I read a lot of glowing reviews on it and bought the first one I saw for sale. I took it to the range and could shoot it almost as well as my Ruger 22 auto pistol. I put the Glock up for sale the next day.
I did find that even though the small grip insert feels better to me, I shoot better with the medium insert.
My first M&P 45 had a trigger job done on it before I bought it. It was a superb trigger, but was so light that I wasn't comfortable with it as a carry gun. I sold that one, a couple of years ago, and have recently picked up an M&P 45 midsize. This one has the thumb safety and has also had a trigger job. I like this setup so well that I'm considering trading my standard M&P 9 for one with the safety and do a trigger job on it.
My advice would be to try out a Glock for a while, that will make you appreciate the M&P.
