Just looking for a little insight from those of you who may own or have used the Smith & Wesson M&P .40 sub compact. Have an opportunity to pick one up but want to make the right choice. I was originally looking to get a Glock 27. Any thought or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would get it only if you can get the no mag safety SKU and have budgeted enough money to get the trigger repaired after you receive it. The MA triggers are so bad that you likely will have lots of difficulty with it if it's not repaired.

Personally I'm partial to the Rugers over the M&P. The new triggers are great right out of the box, and the mag disconnect is designed to be user-removable. The only downside is that they've only just released the SR40, so who know how long it will be before we see the SR40c available. You'll spend at least $100 more on the M&P, and that's before any trigger work.
Shoot whatever you can before you buy. You're more than welcome to try my SR9.

In my opinion...and completely my opinion...M&P will never hold a candle to Glock. Take your best M&P with a highly tuned apex trigger and pull the trigger, hold it, then, listen for the reset. Then do the same with a stock box Glock. You will hear a light tick when the M&P resets, but when the Glock resets you hear and fell a Very Deliberate CLICK. This makes a big difference to me when shooting double taps and mulitple shots.
The trigger on the Glock has a very clean break with little to no overtravel. I have owned several M&Ps (with the highly acclaimed Apex kit) and can not get any anthing close to the satisfaction of a Glock. I carry my Glock 19c every day without fail.
Now in the looks department...now that's a whole different story. The M&P is a much smarter. I am not partial to collecting a snappy looking pistol. I just want a side arm that I can bet my life on every time.
