Dollar for dollar the M&P line is the best value out there if you want to enjoy any of the action shooting sports with a gun that will out shoot most of our abilities. The only issue they do have is they don't have much swagger appeal. They are more the rabbiit that just keeps on ticking as opposed to an F1 race car. Unfortunately you can get swagger appeal for just another couple hundred dollars or drop that into your M&P and pimp out the gun. A friend of mine has a Gen 2 FS with the full Apex treatment and a generous magwell. Right of the Avengers. Just looks kick butt. All for $800
