They dropped the ball on the slide serrations
I have a friend who is a die-hard S&W fan. His loyalty to the brand knows no limits, and the M&P, to him, should have made all other designs obsolete. Any S&W is a 10, anything else is a 1..... I mean, if S&W sold toilet paper, that would be all he'd buy.
The serrations are the pinnacle of this design. They totally set the M&P apart on that merit. He fawns over that often.
We were talking recently and the conversation came around to service pistols and the popularity of Glock with people who depended on weapons for a livelihood, and he could not understand that these guys tend to go with a proven design with a very good track record.
He is sure that by that next week, all those 19s will be replaced.
He has, obviously, never worked in a field of work that takes him into harm's way....but he knows, even more so than the guys who go towards the sounds of guns...
Not condemning the M&P, just telling you about my acquaintance.
