I've never field stripped an M&P, but I find the 1911 a pain to dis/re-assemble.
That's a pretty lame reason to not want one, but that's reason enough for me.
Buy both and be done with it!
My vote is for the M&P, but the decision is like choosing between radical and awesome.
I firmly believe that if you want a 1911 for serious use, the minimum level of quality for a duty/carry weapon is the SA Pro model (either PC9111 or PC9111LR if you want a light rail); if youre not willing to invest that much into the weapon system, don't get a 1911...
