I'm a 1911 guy also and mostly prefer Commanders. The only striker fire pistols I have are M&P's. I like them because they have similar ergonomics to the 1911.

I have a thumb safety and non thumb safety M&P's. I got the thumb safety version because of the 1911, but now prefer the non thumb safety version. All of my M&P's have Apex triggers. I have never shot an M&P 2.0 but on the original version the Apex makes a big difference. I would not own one without doing the upgrade personally.

While agree in a gunfight the trigger won't matter it just needs to go bang. But really most of us will hopefully never be put in that situation of being in a gun fight.
