I do not have a M & P so I cannot comment but I do have an XD and several 1911's that are easier to shoot and that I use for every day carry (altrnating of course).

All the friends above have made good comments.

You mentioned that the 2 guns you are considering are both Smith and Wessons.
The Sigma is the "bargain" gun and is always on sale at Academy for cheap money,
and maybe a $50 rebate to sweeten the deal. If it was a better gun, its reputation
would precede it, and it would command a better price.

The Smith and Wesson M & P is a much better pistol. These are the Smiths that some
LEO's actually carry as their service weapons. There are several forum members who could
buy any brand of weapon, and they are quite fond of their M & P's.

IMHO, just because something is cheap (your pal's Sigma), doesn't make it a good value.
Of just the 2 guns you mentioned, you will be much happier with the M & P .40.
