About a third of our club uses the M&P for competition and would benefit from my ability to teach them how to make the M&P run better. Very interested in the new trigger as the current trigger reset requires most people to use the large grip to assure good a trigger push. Our club is locate in SW Florida and has about 65 competitors in both IDPA and USPSA.
