    Not very bright but does lack ambition
    My Apexed first gen 45c is likely the only M&P I’ll keep - I’m rather fond of it.

    They just transitioned to the 9mm Sig 320.

    I am still aggrieved that they discontinued the 2.0 sub compact .45 M&P.

    And the 1.0s are impossible to find as well.

    I thought the 45ACP was obsolete?

    I have always felt the M&P 45s were the best of the bunch. I have several gen 1 compacts and a mid size, all solid performers.

    The M&P, especially the 1.0 in .40/.45 and the 2.0 in 9mm, are the pistols I shoot and suddenly feel a strong need to buy. They’ve always been impressive,

    Then I remember the cumulative mortgage payments I have spent on Glock stuff... I may have to finally get a M&P .40 and 9mm CORE.

Rumor is they are finally dropping their mag disconnect safety requirements and likely transitioning to P320/9mm rather soon.
    Can anyone think of an agency that mandated a design change in a firearm that didn't result in things going pear-shaped for both the agency and the manufacturer? While I'm sure it has happened occasionally, these mandates never seem to result in a quality firearm. It would seem that selecting a different gun or changing training doctrine is more likely to have a successful outcome.
