Two similar carry guns from totally different companies are compared. I get quite a few requests to compare these two popular firearms, side-by-side. Well, here's my take. You know I'm biased, but I try to give you a somewhat objective comparison. Just factor in my Glock bias. :-)

Please revisit the 40cal Glock. Just got my carry permit and was considering the 45 (g30) but when I was at Walmart and saw that 40cal ammo was cheaper than ammo for my 380 I was amazed. We know that ammo prices will rise and fall upon demand (but it's a shame we can't find 22 LR). An ammo price/which cal. your shooting cost concerns) effect is all. We all need a gun we can afford to practice with. Big fan, please keep em coming.

@hithisisharris 5 жыл бұрын

Hickok sir, if I may be so bold... I know this is an older video but I’m rewatching. I agree with you- the M&P has a “better” trigger, but I too shoot the Glock better. I believe this is because of the “surprise” effect. Something a state trooper once taught me. The M&P trigger is so nice that you know exactly when it is going to break and you “anticipate” (or flinch) the recoil. With the Glock, it’s just a little uncertain exactly when it’s going to go “bang” and this surprise effect eliminates your subconscious to anticipate the recoil. Hence- no flinch. I find now that ironically, I’ll shoot much better with mushy triggers because I cannot pinpoint the exact moment they will go bang. And no matter how hard I practice not to flinch, I think even the best in the world still find themselves doing it once in a while. Thanks for all the awesome vids!

After shooting and reviewing and holding and shooting. Sorry Glock. It feels like I am cheating on you. But, This girl is HOT!!!! From the looks and feel of it. I am hooked. I retired my Glock.

I have many mags for the 34 and 17 that I have and thought of using one of those for a full grip. Second question... What is the range to your plates, gong etc. Again, great job and tks!

For me they are neck and neck. Right not I am contemplating on going from an M&P 9c to a Glock 23 for more rounds and a slightly better 3 finger grip. I think the glock 23 offers a better 3 finger grip at possibly a slight reduction over the M&P with the extension.

I'm asking because they are both for sale in my local shop and I'm looking for something bigger than 9mm should I go big or go home with the glock or try to go semi big but semi budget with m&p?

The weight seems easy enough to account for, the sights on the M&P are metal and the extra length in the M&P frame along with the dual slide release there is a little more weight in there. That weight does help tame some of the snap in recoil between the two. It really is a toss up between the two guns, feel both in hand and take the one that feels best. Great video comparison.
