I had a tough time with the trigger on my m&p9 first 200 rounds. I read several threads/google links, and the one that stuck out in my mind was 'I don't want to have to go thru a 12 step program to figure out my trigger'. I was really down about my purchase (having been able to fire a 20lb revolver trigger without the problems I was encountering with my M&P where I was consistently shooting 3-4" low and left). I sucked it up and bough an apex duty kit. Ultimately, I put the stock trigger spring back in, bringing the poundage down. But the kit immediately resolved my problems. I am in love with this pistol, to the point that I've picked up and M&P22 and .45. since. I am now planning a .40 long purchase.
At first the apex kit is a little awkward because the break is really toward the rear of the pull. But even so, I was hitting better and more confidently than before the kit. Now (1k rounds later) I don't even notice it. FWIW, bowie tactical has a really great looking trigger (youtube it) for around the same price, but a long wait period. I will likely go this route with my .40
If anyone asks me about it, I tell them plan on $100 for the trigger kit.
Having said this... many swear that after 400-500 rounds or so that the trigger smooths out. YMMV
A couple weeks back, a buddy came over and I tried his .40 glock. I really liked the sights on it. They seemed tighter (easier for my eyes to center the front post withn the rear post slot). But the ergonomics of the pistols seemed a bit 'loose'. Trigger was OK, but did not blow me away. I don't know if this is because I am used to my M&P or not. The pistol seemed the loosen from my grip easier than my M&P (combat grip). Some grip tape or stippling would likely solve this.
I shot it the same as my M&P.
My buddy tried the M&P, and mentioned he did not like how far back the break was. But he also did not notice any signifcant difference in accuracy.
so it sorta boils down to (no big suprise) personal preference and comfort. But keep in mind, you *might* wish to add $100 for an apex kit (again, YMMV).
