BUT...we were working on other "shooter-trouble-trouble-shooting" issues....That said, the gun is dead-nuts reliable. I'm having some issues getting the trigger it should be on the Pro...same work, same kit, etc. I put on his M&P standard model, leaves us with a mushy almost indeclinable reset on the Pro model...I put the factory reset plunger back in it with the Apex spring, and it's better...
But I digress. I'd say there's some at least minor changes in the M&P Pro new stock guns...but not enough to rule them out, and they work well, shoot well, and to me have a grip angle more congruent with my 1911...at least I don't tend to point them high or low like I do my Glocks.
That said, the Glock 34 with its factory 3.5# connector (and even lighter with a reduced-power striker spring) is never the wrong answer for a competition gun....and I've put the 5# connector into a gun with the reduced power upper for a REALLY sweet break and a very distinct reset without too strong a pull (probably works out to about 4.5# or so)....so there's plenty of tricks you can do to a competition gun's trigger...most of which you could swap between stages if you really wanted to try different stuff
With either one, get setup with a Warren rear sight, and a (Pick your poison) fiber front, and you're good to go for a match gun. I think the mag well is a tad easier to hit on the Glock than the M&P, BUT, you can more reliably drop the slide with your mag-insertion on the M&P, so speed-wise that's a wash.
Perhaps you should have one of each?
