I have M&Ps with and without thumb safeties. I would not opt for a TS in a SF pistol - it's unnecessary and usually suboptimal ergonomically compared to the 1911 TS. They're different mechanisms altogether which require learning them and practicing with them.

I'd choose an M&P SF w/o TS and replace the trigger with an Apex system, in the scenario you're describing. 1911 triggers are great at the range on practice targets, but the difference between it and a good SF trigger for SD is mostly theoretical IMHO.
