I have a Glock and like it OK, but IMHO pulling the trigger should do one thing and one thing only, and that is make the gun go bang. The M&P is a big improvement over the Glock in this regard.
Back on topic, I had a very early (MPA serial # range) .40 cal M&P that had about a dozen light primer strikes in the first several hundred rounds and a barrel with some cosmetic issues. Smith replaced both real quick-like, and after a trip to the factory it has had no mechanical problems since, while my M&P 9 went from out of the box to an Aim Fast Hit Fast class and never choked.
I wonder, if there was an Interwebz back when the first Glocks came out if there would have a similar thread about Glock problems...
