This has been a soap opera for a few years now. Texas announced the selection of the M&P a few years back. I even went to S&W Armorer school with a number of DPS Troopers. At that time, they were very excited, and had run the guns through the wringer. A short time later, TX DPS rescinded that selection based on "reliability concerns" which occurred only in recruit training, and went back to the Sig 226. Last I heard they were having fits with the 320....much moreso than any issue they ever had with the M&P......I guess they finally got enough of the bugs worked out to where they have selected them again.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol chose the same gun. They also had a LOT of failures, and the majority of the guys I know hate them. Sig, however, is very, very good at hiring retired troopers as sales reps......
