Anyone using a M&P 9mm for IDPA?

I'm talking about the full size M&P. Do you like it? Did it require a trigger job to make it easy to shoot for IDPA? Thanks!

There are a few here and there, Gordon Carrell has be shooting one for awhile (S&W pays him too). The triggers can be slicked up quite a bit but the Glocks have a strong hold.

I have one ready for the job, as soon as its holster comes in. Maybe today.

The trigger was gritty and hard. I read about them "breaking in" but the last time I sat around dryfiring a gun for that, all I got was a tired trigger finger. So I sent it to Dan Burwell for a 3.5 lb trigger with reduced overtravel and reset. Very nice. Only $65 but you will pay Fed-ups at least that much more for shipping.

I just started IDPA with a new M&P9. I like it a lot. The trigger has improved but it's not a target trigger. Good enough for me. The M&P forum has directions for a simple trigger job.....http://www.burwellgunsmithing.com/M&Ptriggerjob1.htm
