I'm still new to the gun world but cathing on fast (if only my wallet could keep up), but I love the feel of my m&p9L. I tried handling some glocks and xd's but nothing was near as comfortable as the m&p. Unfortunately here in Enid our choices are limited to shooting at the gun club run by snob commie dictators or not shooting so I've only been able to sneak the thing out once but it shot great.
