S&W evidently plans on offering an M&P in 1/4", or near that, incremental barrel lengths. Kinda wild... and dumb. I really like the M&P pistols but I don't understand the need for a 3.6", 4", 4.25" and 5" spectrum of barrel lengths. They seem to be a little bunched up in the middle there. I have S&W 9mm's in a Shield 3", a 2.0 Compact 4" and a 5" Pro that seems about ideal to me. I dunno, I'm probably wrong thinking and more options are better.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
