And are those harbor cops using suppressed ARs/M4s? It must be rougher than I remember at the harbor.”
Glock-like trigger spreads to all S&W semis. “The new M&P pistol ad in Guns and Ammo March 2013 issue states: ‘Positive, Tactile Trigger Reset.’ So it looks like S&W is finally producing all the M&P’s with the same trigger pull/reset [like] the Shield’s: the Performance Center sear, a new slide stop assembly and a revision to the trigger bar.” Smith & Wesson forum
