Many believe that the gun THEY own is the best ever made. now many of the millions of shield owners have their panties in a bunch, saying "it's NOT a recall" "it's a safety alert", POTATO / TOMATO. what do you expect using plastic in a trigger mechanism? a frame, grip or MAYBE even a slide is one thing.

Yeah I never drank the m&p cool aid. They do not impress me. They just feel terrible in the hand to me.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

The only reason LE is even using the PPOS (Sorry-Plastic Piece of Shit) handguns is they are cheap to buy, cheap to maintain and they aren't required to have an actual compentent gunsmith on staff, since all they do is throw away the plastic parts and snap new ones on.....

I've always found it interesting when people say "well, cops use them" or "the military uses them"....all of that stuff goes out to bid and the lowest bidder gets the contract 99% of the time.

We have a 2011 Ford F150 at work, which of course was put out to bid and that year everyone got those trucks.....it has 33,000 miles on it and has had major transmission work twice, the gas gauge worked on 3 times, and has already coned all 4 tires. Plus the power steering hangs up when you turn left.
