Yup. I thought that was a pretty sweet touch. It let me know that somebody at Smith is paying attention.
On the other hand, it doesn't have a rainbow-anodized TiNi finish or a gold-inlaid rattlesnake laser-engraved on the slide, nor can it launch .410 buckshot, so maybe S&W isn't as cued into the actual demands of the self-defense pistol market after all...
Well, you could always take it back and get a Judge.... ;P

Do they offer diamond plate?
I was a little disappointed at the lack of mother-of-toilet-seat grip panels, too. A security guard around here who looks like Nick Fury with a bad case of likeadonutitis carries a Taurus PT-945 with those, and it's suh-weet!
Ah, but was it GENUINE mother-of-toilet-seat grip panels, or a cheap knock-off?

Beats a High Point in an Uncle Mikes nylon "one size fits none" holster. Seen that one a few times locally.security guard around here
The trigger is appreciably better on the latest M&Ps as well.
Wait, Sam Jackson Nick Fury or comics Nick Fury?
In all seriousness though, it's a good call. I really do like the factory sights on the M&P over the Glock, and like others have pointed out the aftermarket support for the platform is taking off. I was playing with Randy's gun with the forward setting sear trigger/thing at Steel Challenge, and I really liked it.
I've been saying the same, though not everyone seems to agree. Mine has a short uptake with a crisp break in the 6# range. The LEM on my USP is far mushier either way.
Tamara, if you're curious, there's a production date code on the blue box the gun comes in. I forget the exact format, but it translates into the calendar week of production in the given year.
Or you can just look at the date on the fired casing bag, it's probably close to the production date.
