i have a M&P .40 and love it. Between a glock and an M&P i'll pick the M&P every time
I literally sold all of my other centerfire pistols after my wife's M&P9c demonstrated 1200 or so trouble free rounds with many different kinds of ammo, super easy maintenance, small size (not a subcompact but still fits in my front pocket), ease of use, good initial price, great total ownership cost, 12+1 rd capacity, good sights, low bore axis, and great fit due to the interchangeable back straps. Trigger release is crisp, but not quite 1911-good (as is true about any striker-fired pistol). Reset isn't super-positive but a little practice and I don't notice it any more.
To summarize, after owning a Beretta M92, S&W revolvers of all shapes and sizes, Ruger revolvers, a Colt Combat Elite 1911, (I'm sure I'm forgetting something) and shooting all kinds of semi-autos (Glocks, Springfields, HKs, Rugers, Walters) I now have two M&P9 compacts that serve in the daily carry and home defense roles. I couldn't be happier.

Also, Apex DCAEK or competition AEK, plus the RAM. Essentially, add a couple hundred to your M&P and you can get a nearly perfect weapon. If only it came with the Apex kit from the factory...
According to their rep who posts on AR15.com, you can use coupon code AR15COM to get 15% off. It appears this stacks on top of the $398 sale price and then the rebate if applicable.
That puts it at only $338 plus s/h + transfer fee. Cheaper if you can use the rebate. Ridiculous.

YES! And that reminds me of something - one reason I like striker-fired is there is only one trigger pull to practice. There's no double action/single action to think about and the striker-fired action is a really nice compromise between the two. Arguably the most important shot in a self defense situation is the first one, and with a DA/SA pistol, the first shot is with the trigger setting that you train the least with. Not so with striker-fired guns.
I loved my M&P 9c so much I picked up the .45, that is a hell of a price too jump on it.
