My local gun ranges mostly only have the compact versions available to rent. Better than nothing and should at least give me a feel for the grip (maybe minus the pinky or so) ya? Less sure that any recoil takeaways will really apply to their full size brothers.
I'll dig into Canik. I've heard them mentioned but basically know nothing.
Have heard that the first M&P M2.0 hinged trigger was meh and that the newer ones are better, but still better stock options out there.
