Glock vs S&W M&P

[sgreen3]

I would get the M&P fopr no other reason than Im a Smith & Wesson guy, and I like the looks better. Either one would do the job quite well.

What?? 20 posts and not ONE person has asked what State he is from since he said he has a "CCW" not an "LTCH"??

INGO, have you gone soft??

I like the Gen 3 glocks, with the grip force adapters, and a polished trigger of course. I own a 17, 19, 26, and 34, all Gen 3's, and a 2nd Gen 21. All but the 26 has the grip force adapters, i like the way the point better with the adapter installed.

I prefer the ergonomics,looks,and overall feel of the M&P compared to Glocks. Another option would be the Springfield XDM series. They are excellent guns and I tend to shoot them better than the others mentioned. As stated above it all comes down to what you personally prefer. All are great choices and will serve you well.

Any thoughts on these? Looking for a full size HD gun. I'm worried about the issues the Gen 4 had been reported. Some say the M&P trigger is not the best. Looking for recommendations from people that actually have shot them. I have a CCW and I'm not interested in something compact because I want capacity. Thanks,
Doc

I have 300 rounds through my Gen4 Glock 19 so far without a hint of a problem, I believe the problem Gen4's are a thing of the past. You can't go wrong with either a Glock or M&P, pick the one that suits you best, but don't avoid the Glock 19 Gen4 because you are worried about issues, especially if you are getting it new.

LOL I knew as soon as I saw it someone would call him on it.I couldn't believe that it went this long either.

I would go with the M&P myself not a glock fan and the 4th Gens have had a lot of problems.

Plus one for the M&P. I carried one as a duty weapon while as a reserve officer and also as my everyday carry. My father however is a Glock guy so i get the best of both worlds. I love the carry of a G27 and a G23, but there is just something about a Smith and Wesson.

My

Glock 19
Shorter, crisper trigger
Lower bore axis
Lighter weight
Capable of higher capacity (G18 mags)

M&P9c
Better stock sights (metal & 3 dot)
Better ergonomics (softer & better purchase on grip)
I am more accurate with it for some dumb reason.

You will be happy with either, but I was one of the unlucky new Gen3 owners who caught brass in their face even after the glock factory "fixed it". It's a shame really because I like the G19 better, but carry the M&P9c.

I'd go with the glock, the issues were with the early gen 4s and are all worked out

you should pay a visit to the Shooting Sports forum. I think you'd find some folks who'd disagree.

for what it's worth, Apex now makes a "glock-like" trigger.

i prefer my mnp pistols over glock. just my opinion

 

[DocHoliday]

Any news on when the M&P will have a new line or new trigger?

I do have a lifetime license if that is what you guys mean. I'm a newbie as you can see on the post count.

Newbies usually get razzed a bit when they use the term "CCW" as we are not a "Concealed" State. Indiana has an "LTCH": License To Carry Handgun.

I've had an M&P but prefer the Glocks.. I have a 17C and a 19C and really like both, also a couple of GAP pistols that I'm fond of.. You will probably be more comfortable and accurate with the one that fits your hand the best.

I owned a Glock 19 and a Glock 26, currently carry an M&P9c. I tried a plethora of different handguns for carry after the Glocks, and the M&P is the only one that I like better. It's been as reliable as the Glocks but more comfortable to shoot.

 

[live2hunt009]

I have shot both and I def. prefer my glock!

 

[DocHoliday]

Gen 3 or Gen 4 (factor in price)?

 

[JustinCase]

I have a gen3 G19 and love it. If you are near a range that rents you should go there and shoot both to see what feels right for you.
