You mite wanta go read the rules...this ain't craiglistI don't swing that way, but if that's your lifestyle choice, more power to ya, sweetheart!
While both Smith & Wesson and its M&P line have a solid track record, the company’s XM17 MHS offering isn’t really modular. As a publicly-traded company, Smith & Wesson filed its removal from the XM17 MHS with the Securities & Exchange Commission but didn’t go into detail as to why. So, the short version is that the S&W M&P wasn’t considered because S&W chose to withdraw from the selection.
Can’t win if you quit.
I’ve never seen someone else say egg Zachary. I think we might be cousins
Hmm, didn't know that. Maybe there were risk they didn't want to take on. They shortened the extended beavertail on the 2.0 to fit the required dimensions for the Federal contract, so I assumed they stayed in the running.
Have a close friend that was a lifelong Glock fan. He has now owned a standard M&P and 2.0 and has threatened to sell all of his Glocks and go to Smith.

There at multitude of CZ's
CZ created versions of its P-09 and P-07 for military testing. Based on the CZ series popular in Production/Stock practical competition, the CZ P-09 holds 19+1 rounds of 9mm ammo and features a double- action-only (DAO) trigger with a bobbed hammer. The more compact P-07 was also considered, and shooters could swap out both models’ backstraps. The designs featured manual safeties, but there is no indication these pistols had truly modular grips or frames. While not explicitly forbidden, the DAO trigger was certainly not an MHS requirement and not favored. In the end, CZ ended up choosing to not formally enter the XM17 MHS competition.
IIRC it was only Sig, FN, and Beretta who actually presented truly modular handguns and Glock tried to sue their way into the contract. Must've had consultants from Boeing helping them.
