Thanks for this post! I just bought an MA compliant M&P and DID NOT know what I was getting into. I read all the great reviews and just went for a M&P 9 range kit. After putting the first five rounds downrange, I had to put down the pistol and struggle not to cry (OK, OK. No crying, but you get the picture). You wrote my thoughts nearly verbatim. "What have I done?!" Same deal. The trigger feels like it has sat for a week in a bucket of quicksand. Its the worst trigger I have EVER encountered...EVER. That includes DA revolvers. However, I WAS able to get everything in the black at 30ft after 100 rounds. I just had to REALLY focus. If I can do that with a 10+ LB trigger, then a 6LB trigger will feel like heaven! Your post gives me hope, as everything else about the gun is superb. GREAT fit and finish, and simple to take apart.
