I would love to have M&P45, but I have few issues with them(besides above mentioned 10rds mag).

They simply have SKU numbers indicating models that are legal for sale in states with mag capacity limits. They were designed to handle hi cap mags. Dunno why they took so long getting them to market.

I do not understand why S&W made barrel for 45 from 4.25" of 9mm/40/357 to 4.5". my 9mm with 4.25" barrel is just perfectly balanced for shooting and CCW. while 0.25" may not be alot, when you hold it, it seem alot more then just 0.25"

The M&P is what it is, the "military" and "police" model. It was designed as a duty weapon. They now offer a compact in the 9/40 and will be releasing a compact in the 45 as well. Barrel length on autoloaders is not the limiting factor re: CCW. To me it's not an issue.

And trigger is, even tho according to S&W is SAME as my 9 - same travel(Rest to Fire .300 in), and same reset(.140 in), and same weight(6.5lb) they do NOT feel as crisp as mine is. may be because mine have fired over 5000rds, but i don't recall my trigger feeling mushy like 45's.

Now this is the part I do agree with you in that what I know about the burwell and bowie trigger action jobs is such that S&W should be doing that at the factory. Mostly it's profiling the engagement surfaces of the striker and sear.
