The military also uses crappy uniforms (ACU), old ass weapons (M16/M4/M9), crappy vehicles (HMMWV), etc. I agree, I wouldn't use us as the standard for quality equipment.
I have never even held a S&W M&P. the looks of them don't strike me good.Also over the past 6-9 months I have noticed a large influx of them for sale or trade in the used gun market. Most of them only being bought a few months back and now the owner wants to sell/trade. Seeing all this has had me wondering what was going on with them because no one wants to get them after buying one
It may not be the best gun in the world but I like my fullsize m&p. It has never let me down and is more accurate than the glocks I have fired. Lots of new guns have plastic triggers. I am trying to think of a poly gun that doesn't? The problem is proper quality checks not being done when a design change is made like in this case.
Still cant bring myself to spend money on a plastic firearm. The MIMs process is about my limit. I have seen plenty of info on the plastic guns and it seems to be an ok material and will last a long time. This issue with S&W sounds like a qc error not materials. All that being said, I want to see a glock,smith,sig,fn,khar,etc after it has been around for 50-60 years of being in the sun and regular abuse. Plastic vs metal, my vote is metal.

Concur, they are throw away guns. In 20 years when no parts remain and the model is no longer manufactured try and get a gunsmith to make you plastic internal parts after its broke or worn. Don't waste your money, guns, gold and silver are and have always been the best investment you can make. Buy quality, not plastic/polymer.
