S&W M&P vs. Glock

[HDoc]

I get discounts on both.
I only have one pistol, the PM9, and it's time to expand.
For about $360 OTD I can buy any new Smith and Wesson M&P.
For $425 + tax I can have any Gen 4 Glock with the LEO fixins(3 mags, etc.)

What's the current mail-in discount on M&P pistols? $50?

[MO_Soldier]

The discount I'm getting in the M&Ps is 40% for being military. Idk of any other discounts myself.

Are you buying that through your unit?
I only know of their mail-in factory discount over the cheapest LGS price you can find.

That would be $455 at Bud's for a 9c minus the $50 mail-in... a very good price indeed.

Just a coupon in circulation. I'm waiting to get it from a battle buddy.

Barth, as fine as she is, I can't stand to look at her anymore becuase of all of the liberal crap she spews. And her relationship with that commie Sean Penn. What a waste of a hottie.

I own the m&p compact 9mm and the compact 40 cal.I did the research awhile ago and hands down the m&p was the gun of choice and never looked back.Good luck with your decision.

At the LGS yesterday, I fondled an M&Pc and a S&W SD9. I liked the M&Pc, but REALLY liked the SD. They don't get as much attention because of the M&P, but seem to be really nice guns. The SD is almost identical in size to my G19, but felt better. It also holds 1 more round. If I didn't already have the glock, a SD9 would be keeping my M&P 40 company.

I have the SD40, and love it. There are alot of parts compatible between it and the Sigma. Magazines for one. The base plate will stick out, but it's not horrible. It will also fit in the same holster as the Glock. I had an officer (PD at work carries a Glock 22), forget his pistol after his wife moved his stuff, and it fit his duty holster pretty well. I also have not had problem one from mine in about 500 rounds. The trigger will smooth out as well.

Both are fine guns but I prefer Glock over the S&W M&P.

I just changed my Glock connector and spring to
Glock OEM 3.5 "-" connector and NY1 spring.

Was getting occasional unintended double taps at the range with
the Ghost Rocket 3.5 and factory springs.
I know it's trigger control and I'll get used to it.
But it's a carry gun and I want something foolproof for a stress fire situation.
Really like the new setup. Feels more comfortable and confident for carry.
Don't think I gave anything up in accuracy either.

Plus I changed the connector and spring out myself in about three minutes flat.
Factory part compatibility across models, aftermarket part selection and ease to work on are real advantages of Glock pistols - IMHO.

I've noticed lately that some the local township PD's seem to be moving away from Glocks and towards the MP's. Not sure why that is, just and observation. Maybe there not getting the discounts they once did with Glock. Like my glock 26 well enough, but I think the Kahrs, XD's and MP's are better natural pointers do to there grip angle. As far as reliability and accuracy I don't believe there is a big difference in any of them. Only different features that some may like or not like.

+1 they are all fine guns and you can't really go wrong with any of them.
I have a Kahr MK40 Elite and a Glock G27.
They are both flawless.
Friends have XDs and M&Ps and speak the same of them.

I always recommend folks make a short list of guns they are interested in.
Rent and shoot them.
And see which they favor.
