Nothing against Glock, but M&P for me. I think everyone should use what they like and what works for them. I don't think it's good to try to convince anyone which is better. Each one has its merits. Guns, like other things are totally subjective. Sure there are bad quality guns like anything else, but between these to brands and models, I think its subjective.

I shot, owned, and carried Glocks for almost 10 years, until I tried out the S&W M&P 9 M2.0 series of pistols in 2019. Now, all my Glocks are history. I'm very pleased with my decision to migrate over to the M&P. Good things! 👍

i love my Sheild Plus. I have 2. One is the 3 inch, and the other a 4 inch performance center with crimson red dot. Love the M&P so much i also the M&P 10mm for hiking in Bear country. Wonderful pistols!

I have just about all the m and p 2.0 series. Love all of them. But the metal is my absolute favorite

I was thinking about bolting a flood light on mine just like you did!

The new SW trigger/shoe locks it up for me - only took smith 20 years to loose the hinge- lousy thing - smith does not offer the new joint in a compact/optic packaged for a restricted state so I needed up swapping out the hinged stock trigger for the new Timney. Timney absolutely crushed it btw Excellent explanation of a pre-cocked striker -well done. Can’t go wrong with either pistol! Don’t sleep on the Beretta APX A1 they just released without seeming to say so (weird) the Centurion size with a 3.6” barrel If Beretta had done this vs the toblerone slide for the army submission they would be in this conversation today Too bad Up side they sell the A1 for 200 less than the G19 Great video!

Just watched your updated video and u still carry the Glock today

Very good …I plan to buy my first revolver but don’t know which one to pick.

I have both and like both. I have the G19x optics ready and the m&p 2.0 optics read with the threaded barrel. I prefer the m&p because I shoot it better but they're both great guns.

As someone who owns a 5th Gen 19 and 26 my vote goes to the Smith & Wesson. Both are my first Glock’s. Multiple failure to feed for the first 100 rounds, barrel finish worn with the first magazine on both. Not impressed.

I have the gen 3 glock 19 and m&p 2.0 compact with the newer flat face trigger and if it came down to choosing between the two it would easily be the M&P 2.0. Just hard to beat out of the box.

It's so weird how subjective pistol stuff can be. I can shoot glocks okay, and the G34 is probably the flattest shooting pistol I've ever owned. But I just don't jive well with the ergos and trigger no matter what aftermarket stuff and frame cuts and stippling I do. Since the very first time I held an M&P in my hand, it just felt like it melded with me. They point really naturally for me and they just feel like they connect with my hands perfectly. The 2.0 triggers are a lot better but the 1.0 triggers were pretty decent after a break-in. It's hard to go wrong with either though. Both are excellent pistols with an outstanding and well-deserved reputation.,

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but if you slammed a mag in with a little authority it would automatically disengage. Reloads from slide lock were super fast and easy

I've always stuck with Glock over the years, but the M&P is a close second. I would trust my life to either though, but still carry the Glock.

My first gun was a Glock 19, Gen 4. Had it for 7 years as a “do all” until I discovered the Walther PPQ while renting at the range. About 2 years later I have a small collection of compact sized guns including a M&P 2.0 in 10 mm with the flat trigger and optic as an outdoor companion (hiking, camping, hunting). I’m not a Glock fan at all and for that price point there are so many better options (VP9, PDP, CZP07, 509T - I own them all). All just as reliable and much better out the box. The only advantage Glock has is cheaper mags and more aftermarket support but Glock needs more aftermarket options to get them comparable to those others. I just don’t get the Glock hype 🤷🏽‍♂️

The glock has always been controversial. Even 20 years ago people used to hate glocks and they hated 9mm too. The Vp9 is great. I had the original and the optics ready with a lazy wolf trigger. The pdp/ppq is also solid.

i bought a 2.0 compact back in 2018. think sights were off but didnt like the way it felt. last week i sold my M&P and bought a G19 mos. fun fact it was glock day, entered a raffle and won. so i picked the G45 because i loved how the 19x shot. just rocked and rolled in my hand. idk why i didnt like the smith but my brother didnt either. both of us can shred the center of a target with a glock though

The new m&p is definitely a better gun. Besides the trigger and optic cut it also has some internal changes. I wasn't really a fan of the hinge style triggers on the m&p, but this ones is much better. You can always adjust the sights or change them. Sometimes factory sights can be off are you need to hold more of an aggressive sight picture. I hear ya on the glock though and congrats on winning a g45, definitely a good shooter.

great video

Should I buy another M&p optic ready for 2nd pistol …(currently have the original 2.0 not optics ready ) Or a Glock MOS ? Just to have 2 9mm options

In all fairness Glock is the grandfather to them all. Pretty much every striker fired pistol made today was reversed engineered from a Glock. I own three, but I havent EDC any of them in years. I recently picked up a MP 10 mm and wooow is all I have to say. It just frustrates me that Glock hasn't made any moves to improve the design and weight. Casing point... I held a Shadow systems in one hand and an identical factory modded Glock in the other and there was a significant difference in weight. Then lets talk about the price. Glock originally was a $350-380 gun in early 2000, but now they're 600. My MP was on sale for $575 and came with a ton of stuff in the box and is perhaps the best crafted handgun (including my expensive FNs) that I own at a decent price.

I have several different striker fired pistols, Sig M18, Gen 3 Glock 19, M&P 2.0 Compact, Walther PPQ M2, and HK VP9 OR. HK, Sig, and Walther build quality is vastly superior than Glock. Comparing the HK with the Glock, it's like comparing a BMW M3 to a Honda Civic. Everything about the VP9 just exudes quality. There's a reason why the VP9 is $900 while the Glock is $500. As far as the Walther PPQ M2, barrel quality, accuracy, and trigger puts the Glock to shame. I can also make the argument that the build quality of the M&P 2.0 is also superior over the Glock. The frame on the M&P 2.0 is much more rigid and robust with steel inserts, has steel sights and guide rod, and the newer flat face trigger is vastly superior than the Glock.😂

that is a serious glock knuckle. you probably feel nothing there anymore lol I think I might like the m&p but it may depend on how deep of a grip I can get. But why did you choose the biggest backstrap? Is the Glock grip too small for you?

@glockknuckle69

Жыл бұрын

I added the bigger back strap to open up my grip a little more so there was a bigger gap to get my support hand in there and make better contact with it. The m&p is more slim than the Glock so it did help. I feel a can draw it quicker and run the gun faster when I have more grip to vice down on. The only complaint I have with the m&p is I wish there was an undercut. The Glock grip isn't too small, I just got so use to shooting Glocks without backstraps that I never started using them on the Gen 4 or 5 Glocks. Haha yeah the Glock knuckle has taken a while to get and I don't think it'll ever go away.

I found the M&P grip to be alright. But I do have big hands. After a few years with the M&P 2.0, I saw the extended undercuts on polymer 80 kits as well as Sig P365's and I decided to experiment. Looked up polishing tutorials and made my own extended undercut. I can get a higher grip on the pistol now and my finger is more comfortable. Though to be honest, it really wasn't bad when left stock in the first place. But it does also feel like I have a more locked in grip.

Not everyone is a professional that Carries OWB at 3 o’clock with a retention holster. Most non-professionals carry IWB, and most carry on an empty chamber because the gun cannot be tactilely verified to be safe. Try and ‘look’ a gun into an IWB at 5 o’clock.
