Re: Sig or M&P
I just went through the same thing and decided on the Sig. The by the time you add the Apex trigger and sear kit to the M&P VTAC you're at $800. For $850 I chose a Sig Mk25. I don't care about the stupid anchor or "SEAL gun" hype, but for the price it's a nice gun. When you factor in the Sig comes with 3 mags instead of 2 like the M&P, there's a $25 difference.

I will tell you why.
I have seen one sig carried as a duty gun that had <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">slight surface rust on the grip area</span>. </span>that's a nogo for me. I will take the polymer slide and the melonite slide compared to all nitron finish.

Really??....Since the frames on the Sig's are aluminum I very much doubt it was rusting. A grip screw perhaps, but not likely the frame itself.
I've also not seen a polymer slide on either the Sig or S&W.
The Sigs are great guns. I carry a 229 daily because it is issued to me, but given the choice I'd go with the M&P. There's no reason in today's day and age why we should have to put up with a DA/SA trigger when there are so many alternatives. The Sig DAK trigger is somewhat better but the M&P with the Apex upgrade is a huge improvement.

Re: Sig or M&P
Traded for my first M&P a few months back and really enjoy it. I eventually decided that I did not like the DA/SA of a sig. Well made, very accurate, just not the action I want. Still have the M&P and traded the sigs.

Re: Sig or M&P
I have M&P's in 9mm, .45, and I just picked up one in .357 sig. I plan on picking up a .40 bbl as I have seen them for @ $70-$80.
I have picked all mine up used and I have not paid more then $400 for any of them! I have noticed that the trigger on my last one is not as nice as the others. I think it just needs used some, but I may try an APEX sear.
