In somewhat CORE related news:
I went through my M&P armorer recert a few weeks ago. According to the rep, Acro guns are made in batches for large agency orders and the leftovers get sold off elsewhere. So if you find one it'd probably be smart to jump on it. It would seem most of the LE guns are going flat trigger with front serrations and optics ready, with either tall or standard night sights. My agency is set to get new guns in 2023/24 so that was music to my ears.
The rep had pretty much any variation of M&P available to handle, including the new metal frame. I like it, it wasn't as slippery as I expected but it didn't feel much heavier than a normal M&P. The most interesting thing about it was the Holosun SCS directly mounted to it that low‐witnessed with standard height sights. To me that's a huge plus when considering an agency-wide switch to RDS. He also had a couple guns with Timney's new M&P trigger and I really liked how smooth it was. I actually preferred the Timney trigger over the Apex or Overwatch Precision flat triggers in all respects but I wish the Timney was available in more than a competition model as the 3lb-ish pull was very light!
I recently purchased a LE full size, optic ready gun with a flat trigger, NS, and front serrations (SKU 13614). Good news is it comes with metal optic plates, bad news is the trigger is terrible. I'm pretty sure the striker block plunger is causing the issue because depressing it feels equally rough. I'm probably going to swap a different one in and see what happens.
