What is the difference? Ive come accross both here and there and the specs seem to be exactly the same. Is one just an older version than the other?

Are you post bumping or what?
The sights are not the same, FO stands for fiber optic.
The trigger is smoother and breaks cleaner at a less weight than the 9L. If anything else comes to mind I will let you know.

I have the Pro. The trigger isn't much different than the stock models that I've shot. The sights are nice, but I still think you could outfit the 9L for cheaper or at least the same price with better components. Dont get me wrong, I still love my 9 Pro, but I am not sure it is worth the extra price over the other models

Thanks. </div></div>
No I was just wondering why you posted the question mark within an hour of posting the question.
Like mentioned above you can outbuild the pros for a bit more money than the pro is new but in the end you get a better gun.
APEX makes some great parts for the M&P series.
What do you want to do with the gun? Based on what the gun will be used for depends on what I would recommend. Both guns will work great. The gritty trigger on the pros are the early models. The new ones have not had that issue for the most part.

I just like shooting target for fun thats all. I love longslide guns. They look sexy as hell. Ill prob get the xdm 5.25 when the price comes down and the taurus 24/7 g2 LS when it becomes available again.

The XDM is not a great gun and the Taurus is close to a pile of dog crap, the dog crap would do more damage to stop an intruder than the 24/7 none working Taurus.
Besides the M&P I think the two choices above are setting your standards low.

Please explain why a crappy gun is good for you or the bank?
I have had a 24/7 not cycle because it was cold outside. Sent it back to Taurus and they said it was the recoil spring. I went through four springs and none of them worked when cold. Got rid of the gun after that. That is why I said a pile of dog poop would be better because the intruder would maybe run away from a pile of shit but wouldn't have much to worry about from the other

in cause you have never researched...every single firearm ever made has a terrible story behind it by someone. Enough said. Thanks for your guys assistance with my previous questions but nothing else applys to what I need. Thank you very much.

I understand that but I see you are not willing to learn a thing. The shop here in town sold so many of those guns because of the price and people were mad when they found out they had to wait six months because of the amount of returnes. A person who will stand by a Tauras 24/7 is someone I will step away from.
