Beauty. I love my S&W MP. I have several cop friends and they all have Glocks from work. Once they fire my S&W they want to trade! I do want a 1911 some day, just because.
My Model 39 is the direct ancestor of the entire M&P line...it was the first of S&W's semi-auto duty weapons, made from 1954-1983. I had one in the early 80's when i was a reserve deputy. Sold it to a friend because Igot tired of policing up brass (I was doing a lot of reloading then) and he in turn sold it to my younger brother. I've been trying to buy it back from him for 20+ years but no luck, so I finally gave up and went after another.
Glocks are fine (German-built, how about that...?) firearms, but they're too plastic for my taste. I had a colt Combat commander in the 70's - it was a compact model of the 1911; i couldn't hit a darn thing with it. It was a lot of fun to shoot, but it would have benefited from some gunsmithing.
