Friend of mine just purchased a S&W M&P Pro. Haven't seen it yet, but he keeps on telling me how much better it is than a standard M&P. What makes it so much better?

    It goes to "11". [:p]

    OK, main differences:

    -Lighter/better 4-5 lb trigger.
    -New sights; fiber optic front and Novak increased sight radius rear.
    -Lack of serrations on front of slide.

    Front slide serrations are worthless in my opinion. Just one more thing to snag/irritate and if you want to do a "press check" to check chamber loading you can (and IMO should) use the rear serrations.

    The trigger and sight thing you could probably do to any M&P with aftermarket parts if you wanted.

    on the ones I have seen the std m&p will not fire without a magazine inserted, the 3 pro m&p's I have handled will fire without a magazine inserted, also one of them had "built-in"crimson trace grips that were fantastic.

    That is an option.

    They make the M&P with the option of external safety or not, and mag disconnect or not.
