Not a cop or ever been one... but have a comment none the less...

I took a Citizens Acadamy course locally, where we got to meet all the cops, do a ride along, see what they all do, & actually got to shoot their guns...

local PD uses M&P's in 40 S&W... the ammo we were shooting was cheap bulk ammo, & not everyone in the class was at all familiar with guns, some had never shot before... interestingly, there was no malfunction even with total newbies who were likely limp wristing... or cheap bulk ammo

needless to say... I was impressed with how the guns functioned
