I didn't vote. Never shot in IDPA and probably never will. But I did pick up a new in the box Glock 17L not to long ago. Put a few mags down range on my property. Shoots like a dream and after I get time to dial it in it will be a tack driver. I guess it will be to long for competition. But I got it for targets.

I'd recommend shooting both guns before you buy. You can modify the glock easily (fiber optic sights, extended releases, etc...) but I selected the M&P40 Pro after careful comparisons. Out of the box I felt the M&P Pro was a better value and package. I have not purchased one yet, but have come very close as recently as last week. I am still enjoying my PM40 for IDPA...because it is what I carry. The only difference is that I have my own reload just for IDPA with my PM. I'd probably do this with the M&P too. I realize the M&P would technically NOT be considered gaming, but it somehow is to me because it is not what I will carry. I don't believe many folks are routinely carrying Glock 34's 35's or M&PPros....these guns are simply too big. To me IDPA is about practicing with the sword you carry. JMO. But shoot them both first, before you buy. Then you will always believe in your decision and won't second guess what you did.My Sword - PM4044N/CTL/Talons

I held the M&P 40 PRO and fell in love with it. Fits me like a glove. Will shoot both my carry PM40 and the PRO, but really love the PRO. Purchased a CompTec holster and mag pouches for it and the entire Pro package is really nice for competition. Still working out my new loads for it and have not shot it enough to deal with the accuracy issue. For IDPA, I'd go with the PRO but inject my carry gun for good practice. I am even picking up an M&P22 to add more inexpensive shooting practice, because it so closely resembles my PRO.My Sword - PM4044N/CTL/Talons

For the 2011 IDPA World Championship, there were 142 Glocks, 62 G34's and 57 G17's. There was a total of 67 S&W M&P's used, 18 Pro models and 39 regular M&P's in 9mm. For the 2010 USPSA Nationals, there were 62 Glocks and 22 M&P's in Production and in Limited, 170 wide body 1911's and 18 Glocks. Outside of 1911's (from all makers), the G34 is the most often used gun in both IDPA and USPSA. The results are pretty much unchanged since they started the surveys.
The G17L and G24 are not allowed in IDPA and neither are ported barrels.Comment
