I've been thinking this as well.

-M&P Mags
-External extractor
-Polymer no-grip safety grip module modeled after M&P grips

Even more radical but imo the real "future" would be if they used their expertise in Internal Hammer Fired pistols (they make a number of them now) to create a internal hammer fired 2011 that looks like a striker pistol with a 1911 trigger. This would lower the bore axis, get rid of the exposed hammer, and probably allow for a lower manufacturing cost.

S&W would be printing money with either of those (if they ran well.)

They should just do their own gun. Something similar to the DWX. I think with their following they could make it work.

And ironically the DWX is a FCU style gun.  If DW would license it they could be doing their own version with MP mag compatibility fairly simply.

Aluminum is much, much easier to machine than steel, and metal 'seems' nicer than polymer.
