Glock 17. Done.
MP 45 for me. And I have an option between that and a G21.
Glock 17. Done.
M&P or Glock in 9mm.
The switch from revos to autos was a lot more than marketing hype. Which is easier to teach a new shooter decent accuracy with, a 12lb long travel trigger, or a short 5lb trigger?
I shoot better with a revolver... & who the hell is gonna keep a 12 pound trigger on it anyway? NOT ME!
Just curious, why do you like the M&P more than the Glock? Is it accuracy or recoil etc.? Does your M&P have a thumb safety?

I wonder if those who question the accuracy and ease of use of revolvers have ever used one?
ETA the number of shooters who have never fired a revolver keeps growing every day so the comments don't surprise me.

Forty-one posts and still no mention of dogs. I'm disappointed.
I like the fact that PDs are looking back into the .45acp. Our department is test many now

I carry the G23 now, I'd rather carry the G22, I wouldn't mind a G21 or an M&P 45 at all. I am comfortable with the 40, I like it, and I've shot it more often than the other major calibers. The 40 is street proven and very effective, and I trust it as much as i trust the 45. That said, I would be very comfortable with a full size 45, I think the recoil is a little easier to manage, which can make a difference on the street. I would hesitate on the 9mm as a duty round only for what I have read about the 9mm having trouble with barriers. I could be wrong. I wouldn't hesitate to carry 9mm off duty. I've never even shot the .357 Sig, so I can't comment on it.
Sig .357 is not nearly as good of a round as a .357 MAGNUM! Such as in the S&W M&P R8 8 shot .357!!!!
I really wouldn't be comfortable with only 8 rounds on tap, in an caliber.

M&P .40 for me and no it does not have a thumb safety. We switched over two years ago from the S&W 99 .40 which I liked, but I have found the M&P has less muzzle rise than the 99 had so I def didn't mind the change over. Mine went bang when I needed it so I can't complain!
the problem with that is what got you the .40 "short & weak" round, the requirements to get on a department are not what they used to be, resulting in officers who can not qualify with the .45ACP round, then there was the 10MM round, which by most accounts is an effective round, but could not be handled by everyone, .357sig... great round, not for everyone.
So many departments will stick with 40 or 9 to make sure everyone can have the same gun, everyone will have the same ammo, same magazines.

What Dept carried the 99? There must have been a sale.
I carry 151 rounds
