I did a quick search and from what I'm reading both models are hammer fired, not striker fired, so the feel of the trigger is going to be different from the center fire striker fired models. What's awful about it? Is it supposed to be a crisp single action type trigger and they blew the "crisp" part or did they try to mimic the staple gun feel of the center fire?
Stiff, dragging, and heavy for the most part... had a bunch of new shooters trying a bunch of rf pistols and it was last choice of the bunch. They ranged from S&W 41 to Ruger LCP... mostly mid-range stuff. No one shot the M&P twice and several pistols stayed hot continuously for the duration.
