I LOVE IT! I know there will be those that say its a cross between the Sigma and M&P.... and well it is! I love my M&P 9 and I have always felt that Sigmas fit good in my hand and pointed naturally. The trigger is much better than a sigma and so is the grip texturing on the front and back. As you can see it is the same size as the G19/G23 and recoil feels less to me than the G23. I definately like the smith trigger better than the blade on the glocks. the grip is certainly slimmer than the Glock and for me more comfortable as well (however the gen 4 glock grip feels much better to me than the gen 3) My only complaint is that it has trijicon night sights on the front and not the rear sight. the rear is an actual M&P sight so they are interchangeable which is good. And. it fits perfectly in all my M&P holsters!
