I personally own a S&W 45 M&P and LOVE it.
Very accurate for the caliber. Great trigger. I’ve put thousands of rounds through the thing with only 1 malfunction and that was a failure to prime - round was indented nicely, so I’d say it was the ammo.
Very solid construction. And remember - despite the lower assembly having plastic, it actually it plastic OVER steel for some part.
So you’d buy it again? Sounding good...
