Thread: Glock vs. M&P?

I've just traded for a used Glock 22 and have been second guessing myself about whether I should've held out for a S&W M&P. Does anyone here have first hand experience with both and a preference towards either?

Glock=good move

Another Glock man checking in

Glock is a good weapon however to tell you the truth H&K is better than both.

i had an HK USP 9 & .40 , they were my fav hand guns , i could shoot them like a pro ...lol.. had to get rid of them to pay some emergency things and could never see paying $800 for another one ...

i now shoot and carry Glocks , i have shot the M&P'S and they just didnt feel right and there was a certain ammo ( i dont remember what it was ) but i was getting a few jams in the M&P ..... i hated the feel of the Glock at first but now it feels great and all of my Glocks have burned through ANY brand ammo ive put through it without a hiccup !! i like the idea of my Glocks just having the trigger safety and i feel it gives an advantage in a carry gun cause there is less to worry about if you need to use it and you shouldnt have your finger on the trigger unless your ready to fire , plus i know its gonna go boom everytime i pull the trigger !!! and on a side note i dont know what a new M&P goes for but a new Glock by me is $500 , value to cost i think is far ... value to looks ??? uuummmm another discussion ....lol

I have a wide choice of carry, but my Day-To-Day is a Glock 19. It has NEVER jammed, only about 1100 rounds through it.

I like the old 2 & three digit Smith & Wesson autos, but have no desire for the M&P.

We're issued the Glock 21, with the M-3 tactical light. I like them honestly. In fact, for my off duty carry I bought a G36sf (slim frame). My service pistol has been exposed to dust, dirt, snow, ice, rain, banging into door frames, even rolled around in the street on a few occasions and its still rock solid and works everytime. That counts a lot when you might have your life or your partners on the line.

I shot a G-23 (.40) a lot for five or six years and never cleaned ...... ever. Never a FTF or any malfunction in all of that time. I just picked up a G-27, the compact model, and it is now my daily carry. Great gun. If I could only have one handgun it would be my G-23 or maybe this G-27.

I don't know anything about the m&p other than what I have read, so I won't comment on it.

I can say that of all the guns out there & if I had to choose just one, it would most likely be a Glock. I personally don't care for polymer guns, but those things are like an AK-47, they will go bang every time, built like a tank, & are actually quite accurate out of the box. Change out the trigger to 3.5 pounds & add a extended slide release & just use it. I actually have a friend who will clean his after a long range day in the dishwasher. He douses it down afterwards with clp, lets it "drain" and puts it back together. I haven't owned a Gen 4 glock as all I have is Gen 3's. Glocks don't jamb or fail-to-feed unless you have a bad load like a squib.

S&W put a BAD taste in my mouth with their first generation semi-auto's, so I doubt I will have a S&W semi-auto any time soon. THey make some damn fine wheel guns though!

Btwn the 2, my vote is definitely the Glock.
