I went with several glock 9mms instead of an M&P because its a lower slide picture and felt better.
This is not only an aesthetic issue, but it increases the recoil on the M&P (and the XD for that matter) compared to Glock. Because the barrel rides higher over the recoil spring, it tends to kick more than a Glock. I still prefer the XD's trigger to Glock, but the recoil is noticably more.

BTW, thanks for your service, guys!
