I had a Ruger P345 which I traded for Kahr KP45. Even after 400 rounds or so the Ruger was very very fussy about keeping the feeded slide polished and it liked to be kept well oiled.
I don't want to start a flame war here. I'm sure the Ruger has lots of fans and the Kahr has gotten it's share of bad reviews, however I also own a PM9 and like them both.
My nightstand choice is a S&W Model 64. I don't like leaving clips loaded and sitting for a long time. I think it weakens the spring but a wheel gun is perfect for casual use. IMHO.
I own a S&W M&P 9L. I love it! I don't consider myself an "expert" on any gun, but the 9L shoots great. My wife and son shoot it on a regular basis. I don't think you could go wrong, plus right now you can get either 2 mags or $50 back!

I guess that you would have to first clarify what size and caliber M&P you are thinking about. The Ruger P345 is a compact .45 pistol. The M&P comes is different sizes and calibers. They will naturally react differently in your hands.
I also had a P345 that I traded for a Kahr CW45. The Ruger was an excellent pistol, but I wanted something smaller and lighter in .45 to carry. I had no problems at all with it and it fed FMJ and HPs equally well. Never had a failure of any kind. I would not hesitate to buy another. Can't comment on the S&W since I have never owned or fired one.
