As a reformed M&P fan, I feel that I have to provide a counter-opinion to her opinion. Don't get me wrong - I think that the M&P pistol could certainly be a Glock-beater. It just isn't at this point in time, as far as I am concerned (and this is coming from someone who has carried an M&P revolver for years and previously owned multiple M&P pistols).
