The speaker acknowledges the M&P's ergonomic improvements over older Glock designs but cautions against declaring one model universally superior. Specific concerns about 9mm barrel grouping accuracy in M&Ps and revolvers are raised, contrasting with positive reports for .40 S&W and .45 ACP M&P models. The discussion also touches on optic reliability, particularly with Vortex Defender XL, and offers advice on improving double-tap speed.
This video emphasizes that proper grip and trigger press technique are more critical than specialized trigger components for accurate shooting. Instructors John Anderson and Joel Park advocate for a smooth, continuous trigger press, focusing on isolating finger movement to avoid disturbing the sights. They highlight the importance of a solid grip and consistent practice, including dry-firing, to master these fundamentals, suggesting that proficiency with a 'shitty' trigger translates to better performance with any firearm.

This video compares aftermarket compensators with factory ported barrels for recoil reduction. The speaker prefers factory porting due to its reliability with various ammunition types and its advantage for concealed carry, as it does not add significant length to the firearm. Compensators require tuning with lighter recoil springs for reliable cycling and add considerable length, making them less ideal for concealed carry.
