I bought this weapon used in a gun shop back in 2001 for only $200 and it has been in my arsenal ever since. The trigger is tough but I got used to it. If you really hate the trigger pull I hear you can send it in to S&W to have it lightened up so it's more like the M&P. People also complain about the accuracy of this weapon but this has not been an issue for me. I can qualify with this weapon as easiliy as I can with a Glock 22.
