When the 5″ barreled S&W M&P (semi-auto variety…I wasn’t around for the K-Frame intro) first came out, I was excited. A plastic gun with a traditional grip angle was my hope for the future as I knew that my transition away from 1911s was imminent. I was sorely disappointed. I blamed the unfamiliar trigger and…
