I placed this in the wrong section. At some date I should learn to read 
I finally decided to purchase an M&P-9 full size with no internal lock but with the magazine safety. Some find the magazine safety objectionable but not I. The price was right approximately 30% of suggested retail.
The polymer has no soul perspective doesn’t resonate with me. The weapon designers chose it as a structural material component. The functionality/cost/effectiveness can’t be denied. Esthetically - beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The ergonomics (having extra large hands and being left handed) was kind of lost on me. I tried all the grip inserts and of the three preferred the small one. As for the ambidextrous slide stop/release and the reversible magazine catch I’m into my 6th decade of a “Right Handed World”. Let just say I’ve learned to adapt. For a new shooter good features but just confuses the heck out of us more experienced persons.
The sear deactivation lever is what it is. A looks good feels good solution that addresses operator incompetency. The trigger press is nettlesome but improves with usage that is what I’ve read on the subject. S&W is extremely proud of the full capacity magazines judging by the retail price. It’s my understanding there have been issues with the M&P series pistol but S&W as taken corrective measures to resolve those problems.
