She was tall, in shape, uniform was squared away, but her hair was a mess. I don't think she really cared for her facial appearance. Probably in her late 30s early 40s. Definitely NOT hot by any means.I think I know the answer, but was she hot?

For general issue, those M1911 features are reasons in favor, not reasons for. The words "manual safety" have long been dirty words when it comes to LE side arms for general issue..At least with the 1911 there is a mechanical safety, grip safety, and firing pin safety to defeat. The M&P? The sear and a firing pin safety.

. I just wanted to express my opinion that the M&P - despite S&W calling it otherwise - is a single action gun.
I would disagree with your hypothesis that the M&P is essentially a single-acton gun... It meets the definition of a DAO pistol because the pistol is not re-cocked after the trigger is pulled and the slide retracted.
If you're pulling the hammer/striker back AT ALL as part of the process of firing, the gun is NOT single action, IMO.

Just my observations. I am a fan of the gun but my belief is still that calling it double action is smoke and mirrors. If that is whats needed to get a better pistol issued go for it.
I fail to see how it matters one way or the other.
I agree. The only reason it was brought up was in regards to the statement "the 1911 will be issued to the STOP team but a single action pistol will never be general issue".
My belief is that if they have issued a single action pistol in the form of the M&P .45.
Maybe I'm missing something, but Glock has adjustable grips, at least on the Gen4. As well as a wide range of standard grip sizes for different models, i.e. SF to full size.
Not to mention the M&P Grips are not that great, and that in circles it has been said that Glock gets money for copyright infringment from S&W, how much is undisclosed.
They didn't ask about features like magazine disconnect or chamber load indicator. The AG and Consumer Safety need to tell the MSP how important these features are!
[/sarcasm]
What do they have now, Sig 226 in .40 maybe? Sig doesn't make a .45 anymore do they, other than their 1911?
That copyright infringement, IIRC, deals with the Sigma.
IIRC S&W had some gigantic settlement with Glock that let them continue to use the infringed upon IP to some degree or another.... otherwise if it was a royalty or something like that, S&W would have dumped the Sigmas a long, long time ago.
Not sure if this still works, but at one time you could swap Sigma 9mm and Glock 17 barrels and they would work in the other pistol... that's how much S&W ripped core parts of the Glock design off.

I actually believe its the 4.5. The 4.5 is the model that ships with no ext. safety, 3 mags, reduced trigger and night sites. That is SW "LE" package.
Trust me, the state police are using the 4 inch mid size model. I see the gun every day.
Are the sigs marked with Mass state police?? i know my 65-2 3 inch and 4 inch are marked on the backstrap i would like to add another MSP gun to the collection ..... any information would be helpful
