I was one of the first New York City Police Officers to get the Glock 19 in the late 80's. I also trained police officers with Glock 19. I carried a Gen 3 later after I retired. Then I switched to S&W M&P's. Bought a M&P CORE which is my favorite, a full size M&P in FDE that I used in a 2 day Carbine and pistol course when I was 69 years old. Put 800 rounds through one in 2 days without a hitch. Since then I've carried the M&P Shield, Shield Plus and Compact 2.0. All great guns. My opinion is that they're all reliable. Glock and the S&W M&P. I'm 73 today and still train with the Glock 19 Gen 5 and all my M&P's. Now I'm training my self to shoot with red dot optics on the Glock 19 Gen. 5 and a couple of my M&P's.
@@John-st5gw how is the training going? I am thinking about getting an m&p for my first gun and getting the compact 15 round version the one that's the size of a Glock 19 I think if you look at honest outlaws he does a review on it also.
@@John-st5gw Shot the Glock 19, 26 and S&W Shield plus Performance Center and I ended up with the S&W just because is lighter, Thinner, Cheaper and it just feels better in my hand so I feel more confident. I’m glad that someone with credibility as yourself approves the S&W, Now I feel better about my decision 👍🏽
I switched from Glock to Smith M&P a couple years ago. Glock is a great platform, never go wrong with reliability. You can depend on it. That being said, the M&P line is everything I said about Glock. including better OEM triggers than Glock. Plus, Smith & Wesson is American that's a plus for me. But besides that, I am well impressed with my M&Ps!
Glock has a better history when it comes to 2nd Ammendment support. That was in the 1999-2001 time frame though and S&W has changed ownership a few times since then. Seems like they're in line with the 2A these days. You can kind of tell by their current line up. A possible sign of gun control freaks taking ownership of a gun company is the lack of variety offered and popular models being discontinued. Back then they discontinued all their 3rd generation autos. Most their revolvers larger than a J frame, and all they had was the Sigma, a Glock copy as determined by a civil court but not as good and some other stupid shit nobody wanted. I prefer DA/SA trigger autos but I've had a few different Glocks and a M&P 2.0 full size. That M&P is kind of s better gun. If it was the compact or one of the long slide models I would have kept it.
I love my Glocks and will never get rid of them. But they sit in my safe now my M&Ps are my go tos. I’ve been wanting to pick my gen 5 Glock 17 up lately tho
M&P 2.0 is what I've decided to go with for my first gun. I finally held a full size last week and that grip made all the difference. I have naturally clammy hands and that thing was not moving. Excited to get mine soon.
9:18 Both my G17 and G45 came with 6 replaceable backstraps. S, M, L and S, M, L with a beaver tail. I own those 2 Glocks and S&W 4” Compact, Shield, Shield Plus, Shield EZ. All great guns. I own other pistols and revolvers but the M&P Compact and Shield plus are always my carry and home defense guns. I have on multiple times tho, kept my G17 locked in a safe in my SUV, because, well I know I can trust it in any climate and anyone (mainly my wife) can shoot it without thinking about safeties or anything. So both great tools and I use them for didn’t jobs, like any other tool.
The M&P 2.0 4.25in and compact 4inch just became legal for us in California earlier this year, got mine sent off to be milled for an RMR optic with the suppressor height sights and now I'm completely in love. Previously owned a Glock 17 which still feels like an old classic when I shoot them, but the M&P just feels modern with the times.
Glad to hear that and I’m glad that you guys in Cali are able to get newer stuff. It makes me happy that people in your state are still fighting an uphill battle no matter how difficult it seems. Hopefully this means that Cali will no longer be a Gen 3 Glock state.
I’ve used Glocks for years, and I don’t believe you have to do a lot of things to them to make them great; however, I now carry this version of the M&P with the Holosun 507c and love it. The trigger is very good, especially for a factory trigger. I’ve always shot Glocks well, and frankly I don’t shoot the M&P any better, but the trigger on the M&P is better, for me. I do like the grip texture better than the Glock, and I like that its American made. I also like the slide serrations better on the M&P as well. Can’t go wrong with either, but I do think if S&W had produced this pistol 25 years ago they’d own the market today instead of Glock. It’s that good. If you haven’t shot the new M&P M2.0 you really are missing out. It is perhaps the best COTS offering today.
Gen 5 g19 was my first handgun a few years ago, shot a bunch and tried a few more pistols and recently landed on a 2.0 m&p and I love it so far, comes with upgrades from the factory and has a great optic mounting system
I think Glocks are great. Started shooting them in 1983. But I think S&W has learnt the lessons and brought the Glock idea up to date. It was a great unbiased review, which gave us user preference based on experience and shooting style. Thanks Coch, great content as always.
The only thing I've ever had to do to my Glocks is change the sights. This notion that you "have to" spend $500 changing the gun is false. If someone "wants to", I totally understand.
I have owned Glocks since the early 90's. 14+ years ago I decided to try a M&P, then another and another and so on. I have several M&P's full size 1.0 models and 2.0's, 1.0 9C's and 2.0 compacts. Several of my M&P's have well over 10k rds through them, never an issue, never replaced a part. I have 2 of the full size 1.0's that I let people at the range shoot, friends and my kids with mostly steel case ammo without cleaning them, just to run a ton of ammo though them to see when they would start having issues. They kept running when I finally felt bad about how dirty they were and stripped them down to clean them after several thousand rounds of steel case ammo. Coch comment, "if you are a Glock guy, try one of these, you may not be as much of a Glock guy as you thought you were" I kept telling a friend that wouldn't have anything but a Glock, you really need to shoot one of my M&P's. "I wouldn't have anything other than a Glock". We went to the range, I had full size 9mm, compact 9mm and 45 M&P's laying on the table and told him to shoot any that he wanted. A couple weeks later, he called to tell me he purchased a M&P. Now a few years later, he probably owns more M&P's than I do!
I bought my first M&P years ago because I’m left handed and it had ambi controls or I would’ve bought the Glock 19. I’ve stayed with Smith and Wesson for all these years. But I don’t hate on the Glock. It works and it’s dishwasher safe 😜
If you're new to shooting I'd buy the Glock, mine really helped me see the flaws in my shooting and I've improved a ton. But if you have a background in 1911 style guns and triggers the M&P is a no brainer. I'm hoping to pick up one pretty soon.
I have a holosun 507 on mine. I kept chasing zero with the optic and finally realized I had the wrong plate on it. Such an idiot. She is sweet now. Got a couple thousand rounds through it with the correct plastic plate and its solid. This is the golden age of striker fired guns. There are a lot of good ones and most are awesome!
Awesome!! Why not a slightly longer pistol like a 4.25" or 5" if it's a duty gun? Just curious seeing as it obviously isn't carried concealed. What is in your duty mags, Federal HST? Speer Gold Dot? Ranger T?
I recently shot an M&P, though I've trained with a Glock more, I do really like the feel of the M&P, and the disassembly process is so quick and easy an ATF agent couldn't mess it up.
I just purchased an M&P 2.0 as my first gun, with the intent of concealing. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I've shot the same model at the range before, and I love it. I've also shot a lot of different glocks, and the m&p feels better and shoots better everytime.
Absolutely love every video Coch puts out. Extremely relevant information and very entertaining and interesting to watch always. Thanks for your videos and for all the information.
Great video Coch! Thanks for sharing your insight about these two compact shooters. I am not a Glock Guy, but was carrying one as a PO, and so got one (or so) of my own to train, practice, use, etc. Now I am neck deep in Glock infrastructure - I have storage containers of mags, sights, holsters, and who knows what else...So, I guess I am a Glock Guy after all. At this point, I cant afford to switch platforms now. I have made it work thus far, and I will continue to do so. But I do appreciate seeing & hearing about all the other players in this field.
It's nice to have the choices we have now in handguns, When I started we had 1911's, BHP, and S&W GEN 1 and 2 semi, were the common autos, and plenty of Colt, S&W and Ruger Revolvers. Try and find what you like and shoot well, not matter what it is. Both are great guns.
Have both. The SW trigger doesn’t have enough thump to give Me confidence it’s going to set off a hard primer. Also the mags barely click when I lock them in. Both good choices but I just trust the Glock more under adverse Conditions.
I carry a Glock 43x mos with night fusion sights and a train with purpose trigger shoe. My next pistol is an m&p 2.0 optics ready for dedicated home defense and shtf pistol
I concur. The one thing that I like about a Glock over my M&P is that you can collapse the trigger on an empty chamber and it stays back. When I pick up my Glock from the dresser, I instantly know if there is no round in the chamber by the feel. My extended trigger finger naturally brushes the trigger and the rear-ward position tells me it is unloaded instantly in the dark. If the trigger is forward, it is loaded (though I press check to verify). The M&P trigger is always forward. It is a simple little thing, but I like that about the Glock. I like the ergos, sights, texture, and looks of the M&P. Both are equally accurate and reliable for me.
I went from revolvers to a sig 226 in 1987 and carried the 226 for the remainder of my 25 years. I then changed agencies and was issued a Glock 19 and learned about grip angle.
I started with a G23 in 2000. I have used Glock, Sig, and S&W. In the past couple years I’ve gone back to Glock. All the other guns are great, I just prefer the Glock platform for some reason.
Both platforms are great. The Gen5 Glock has more foolproof reloading due to the flared mag port. The M&P has a nicer grip texture and shape. Either gun will save your hide or kick ass in competition.
I'm a Glock fanboy. My son prefers the M&Ps. We've competed and practiced with them. Many rounds through both. This comparison is a win win situation. Pick the one you shoot the best, and enjoy a great pistol. Ironically we've both only had 1 failure to eject in our pistols over the last year.
I was slow to get the polymer frame pistols. I started with a Shield 9 PC, then M&P 22 Compact, then 4" M&P Compact 2.0 and next up will be the Bodyguard 2.0. The 2.0 Compact is a great feeling and shooting pistol.
Greets from South Africa! I have both the Gen 5 G19 (and other Glocks) and 3 x M&P 2.0's. Both are tier 1 pistols that I would go to war with anytime. The M&P 2.0 is really something else though, the bore axis just works better, the grip texture is phenomenal, comes with 3 mags (yes, our Austrian made Glocks only come with 2 mags) and mag spacers as well, which is just awesome! The fact I have 3 x M&P 2.0's should tell you which way I lean. That said, I want a Gen 5 Glock 23 after playing with one this weekend and M&P 2.0 4" in .40S&W now, because why not...?!
Had to do a number of Glock 19 gen 3 mods to get it close to what I wanted. Yet, still that lingering doubt on long term reliability. Need to try more of the M&P series pistols to compare
both are great guns, i think the 2 things glock has over the smith is 1 most law enforcement and alot of cocealed carry people carry them so you can pick up mags and then 2 glocks are just so much simpler to do it yourself work on. other then that alot of makers have "done it better" then glock but i think you need at least one glock in your collection just for the those 2 advantages alone.
I just wish S&W would offer more armorer schools like Glock does I bought 2 identical M&P because I can’t afford to be without one working pistol set up properly. Need more support from S&W and that is the only place the Smith is lacking
if you are having a issue where the factory sights don't line up with the red dot it could be because of the battery in the red dot, one way to take a little of the height off for the red dot would be to go with one that is solar and doesn't use batteries
I really appreciate the reviews by people who use these weapons in real life. I carry to protect myself and others, but haven't ever been (and hope to never have too) put to the test. And I am so broken, these reviews also tell me what I am too disabled to do.
Used the Glocks because they were issued to me for work. But not a great fan of them. Like the M&P and would prefer them of the two. But my carry now is the FN 509 midsize.
For years I was staunchly opposed to M&Ps based on aesthetics alone. Then I fired one. Eventually I bought a Compact 2.0. The grippy texture makes a big difference when it's hot and humid. Glocks are terrific, but I've never loved the trigger or ergonomics. That's why I no longer own any.
Thanks for the comparison and your insight, Coch. We truly are spoiled for choice these days on gun choices. People can find the one that suits them best. Cheers! 👍🏻
I disagree about the need to do major upgrades to the Glock. For the Gen 5, sights are about all that is needed. As to M&P, it is also a very fine choice. Just depends on what you like.
We in this wonderful place where you can basically just just which gun you like the looks of from whichever big manufacturer you want. Both these guns are great and i would run either one. For my money i would prob choose the m&p because i could probably find it a bit cheaper and not have to upgrade sights as quick. Both great, as is walther pdp, or cz p10. Still taking my p07 over either of these 😎
M&P 2.0 has better ergonomics with 18° grip angle, better trigger and sights. Hands down S&W blows Glock away in almost every category. The only thing Glock wins is aftermarket support. You need Aftermarket upgrades because stock Glock sucks
I've seen a lot of praise for the m&p 2.0... I had a shield years ago. It was a good lil handgun. I'll be in the market for a full-size handgun maybe next year. Just doing some studying. Good vid thanks!
I made the switch to M&P once the 2.0’s with flat trigger came out. I carry a Performance Center Shield Plus and wouldn’t change a thing about it. For mid to full size guns I went with the 509 series by FN.
I own both the G19 Gen5 and the M&P 9 C with a 3.6" barrel. Both are reliable and accurate, but the M&P looks much cooler, which is probably only important to me. 😊
i like the grip on my M&P. i have on older one that i put a apex trigger in and its my favorite pistol. i recently got a glock 19M gen 5 mos that i put a holosun on and i really like it now.
I started with the full size 2.0 with original trigger shoe and safety along with not optic ready but with a dovedot sight adapter with 507k, deleted the safety and a precision overwatch flat face trigger all done myself no gunsmith exp....2500+rounds later not the first malfuction or issue with 507k i love mine and will always be SW fan....want to get the new shield carry comp next
I have both so not taking sides, but there is nothing you need to do to a Glock except sights and that’s personal preference. No joke I seen a guy make tight groups at 25 yards (indoor range), with a Glock 17 all stock. I couldn’t believe it so I approached him and asked where did you learn to shoot like that, he replied in a very professional manner and he told me he was S.W.A.T. then you have guys like Hicko45 that can shoot wings of a fly with a stock Glock 19. Learn how to shoot a double action, revolver in double action and then you’ll know how to shoot a semiautomatic handgun. I know the guy he only shoots Wilson combat, and does nothing but complain about Glock triggers, just an outright nagging B****h every time I see I go the other way.
No time on the S&W. Everybody keeps saying you need to do all these things to your Glock, but i've got over 2 decades shooting bone-stock Glocks and never felt like I needed to upgrade anything
M& P 40 was my first . Like my G34 9 too. Carry Spfld XD 9vor 45 just sweet in jean pocket . Used to compete weekly . All about whats in your hand and the brain realizing what s going on overall. Do appreciate 191q grip angle overall
I do some pistol instruction in my state. Not nearly as much as most others have, but a good number at this point. The only time I’ve found people to take issue with the Glock grip angle are small women and men; only after telling them about the Glock grip angle
Can't go wrong with a Glock 19/23. Nite Sites, a Streamlight, and some talon grips on a Gen 3 is perfect IMO. That is until I got hold of a M&P 2.0. Coch is rite... The grip angle and texture feel more natural in the hand. It's a natural point and shoot weapon.
I love Glock grips. I used to carry Sig 228's,229's and 226's. I switched to Glock and prefer them. I do have a couple M&P's that I really like though.
I have both, the G19 is probably the most common pistol in circulation… It’s too bad the stock trigger and grip angle are trash. The M&P was decent out of the box, and great with an Apex flatty.
My first time watching your videos, liked the viedo keep them up. I just bought a S&P 2.0 few months back. So far I love it. Im getting a little more on the heavy side, (6'4" 280) and had to find the right holster for my 3 oclock conseal carry. The factory sight tends to grab some flesh :).. It does feel great in the hands, but I havn't ever used the glock, so no comparison from me.
M and P 2.0 series for me. Never had any issues with the 1.0 or 2.0 series. You really can't go wrong with the M&P or Glock & both are reliable and well proven platforms. It's just a matter of preference.
As an owner of both, I prefer the grip on the M&P and the modularity of the Glock. That's changing, though, as more and more companies are putting out products for the M&P
Have a G19 and the M&P Compact. Both are sweet shooting guns. I'd choose the M&P every day. But I really prefer the CZ 75 platform or the Sig Pro Series
I'm torn! I started shooting Glocks. I have a Gen5 19, 23 and a 48MOS. I have an m&p 9 subcompact and a 40 3.6. I shoot them all the same, but find myself carrying the m&p 40 3.6 or the 48 mos more often. All are amazing, but M&P slightly gets the nod.😊
I personally started on a P226 and my lizard brain can not comprehend the Glock grip angle. I have to think about pushing the front of the gun down otherwise im shooting for the moon. I carry a m&p shield 40 every day. I don’t have to think about that glorious angle. It points naturally for me. I’m sure if i started on Glock it would be a different story. If i had thousands of rounds through a Glock I’m sure it would be just as natural, but i prefer my smith over a Glock. I don’t have to fit in with the boys. My smith works, it points naturally, and I’m super uncool. What else do i need?
It's so hard to like these kind of pistols after starting with a P226. I started with a Beretta 92FS. Then I decided to buy it's nemesis the P226, West German marked one at that. Later I got a Glock 19 and it was alright but kind of felt less than. I finally got a plastic striker pistol that gave me that 92FS/P226 feeling. That "Damn this is a nice gun" feeling. Walther P99AS

Come to the dark side. We have folding PCC's

I am also a heavy sweater. The 2.0 grip is almost perfect
They come with 3 sizes of grips which is cool .
Mine only get clammy when I shoot
I have both of them. They both work, and they’re both great. I think we often get too fixated on force ranking already-great tools we have.

I’ve been using the M&P 2.0 compact on duty for awhile with an Apex trigger, tritium night sights, & a TLR-7X
I can’t see myself replacing it
Same here.
@@TacticalMiyagi M&P with a Apex flatty is a dream come true
@@Baroluchilove my polymer flat face, great add-on to an already smooth gun
Awesome!! Why not a slightly longer pistol like a 4.25" or 5" if it's a duty gun? Just curious seeing as it obviously isn't carried concealed. What is in your duty mags, Federal HST? Speer Gold Dot? Ranger T?
@@TacticalMiyagi which sights?
I recently shot an M&P, though I've trained with a Glock more, I do really like the feel of the M&P, and the disassembly process is so quick and easy an ATF agent couldn't mess it up.
I just purchased an M&P 2.0 as my first gun, with the intent of concealing. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I've shot the same model at the range before, and I love it.
I've also shot a lot of different glocks, and the m&p feels better and shoots better everytime.
Absolutely love every video Coch puts out. Extremely relevant information and very entertaining and interesting to watch always. Thanks for your videos and for all the information.
Great video Coch! Thanks for sharing your insight about these two compact shooters. I am not a Glock Guy, but was carrying one as a PO, and so got one (or so) of my own to train, practice, use, etc. Now I am neck deep in Glock infrastructure - I have storage containers of mags, sights, holsters, and who knows what else...So, I guess I am a Glock Guy after all. At this point, I cant afford to switch platforms now. I have made it work thus far, and I will continue to do so. But I do appreciate seeing & hearing about all the other players in this field.
I have an M&P 2.0 5" gun, it has the trigger that everyone complains about. But I find the gun to be very accurate! Great video!
I own the Glock 23 and the M&P 2.0 full size. Very different guns but I love them both.
I have both and like the ergonomics and grip texture of the 2.0.
That's why i got the m&p 2.0 & glock combo because they both bad azz pistols 🔥
It's nice to have the choices we have now in handguns, When I started we had 1911's, BHP, and S&W GEN 1 and 2 semi, were the common autos, and plenty of Colt, S&W and Ruger Revolvers. Try and find what you like and shoot well, not matter what it is. Both are great guns.
Have both. The SW trigger doesn’t have enough thump to give Me confidence it’s going to set off a hard primer. Also the mags barely click when I lock them in. Both good choices but I just trust the Glock more under adverse
Conditions.
I carry a Glock 43x mos with night fusion sights and a train with purpose trigger shoe. My next pistol is an m&p 2.0 optics ready for dedicated home defense and shtf pistol
I concur. The one thing that I like about a Glock over my M&P is that you can collapse the trigger on an empty chamber and it stays back. When I pick up my Glock from the dresser, I instantly know if there is no round in the chamber by the feel. My extended trigger finger naturally brushes the trigger and the rear-ward position tells me it is unloaded instantly in the dark. If the trigger is forward, it is loaded (though I press check to verify). The M&P trigger is always forward. It is a simple little thing, but I like that about the Glock. I like the ergos, sights, texture, and looks of the M&P. Both are equally accurate and reliable for me.
M&P and it’s not even debatable honestly. I own both.
I went from revolvers to a sig 226 in 1987 and carried the 226 for the remainder of my 25 years. I then changed agencies and was issued a Glock 19 and learned about grip angle.
I actually have both of these guns except my Glock is a Gen 3. Both are great guns.
I started with a G23 in 2000. I have used Glock, Sig, and S&W. In the past couple years I’ve gone back to Glock. All the other guns are great, I just prefer the Glock platform for some reason.
Both platforms are great. The Gen5 Glock has more foolproof reloading due to the flared mag port. The M&P has a nicer grip texture and shape. Either gun will save your hide or kick ass in competition.
I have a M&P 9, I picked it up 8 years ago, from Cabela
*Cabeller’s. 😉 GOBBLESS!
I'm a Glock fanboy. My son prefers the M&Ps. We've competed and practiced with them. Many rounds through both. This comparison is a win win situation. Pick the one you shoot the best, and enjoy a great pistol. Ironically we've both only had 1 failure to eject in our pistols over the last year.
I was slow to get the polymer frame pistols. I started with a Shield 9 PC, then M&P 22 Compact, then 4" M&P Compact 2.0 and next up will be the Bodyguard 2.0. The 2.0 Compact is a great feeling and shooting pistol.
Greets from South Africa! I have both the Gen 5 G19 (and other Glocks) and 3 x M&P 2.0's. Both are tier 1 pistols that I would go to war with anytime. The M&P 2.0 is really something else though, the bore axis just works better, the grip texture is phenomenal, comes with 3 mags (yes, our Austrian made Glocks only come with 2 mags) and mag spacers as well, which is just awesome! The fact I have 3 x M&P 2.0's should tell you which way I lean. That said, I want a Gen 5 Glock 23 after playing with one this weekend and M&P 2.0 4" in .40S&W now, because why not...?!
Had to do a number of Glock 19 gen 3 mods to get it close to what I wanted. Yet, still that lingering doubt on long term reliability. Need to try more of the M&P series pistols to compare
both are great guns, i think the 2 things glock has over the smith is 1 most law enforcement and alot of cocealed carry people carry them so you can pick up mags and then 2 glocks are just so much simpler to do it yourself work on. other then that alot of makers have "done it better" then glock but i think you need at least one glock in your collection just for the those 2 advantages alone.
I just wish S&W would offer more armorer schools like Glock does I bought 2 identical M&P because I can’t afford to be without one working pistol set up properly. Need more support from S&W and that is the only place the Smith is lacking
I just love that we live in a day of so many options and after market parts. You can pick your poison all the way I'm a gun guy o love them all.
I'm a huge S&W guy, and a deciple of Mr. Cochiolo. It was awesome to see you discuss these firearms. 🦅⚓🔱🇺🇲
I really appreciate the zero nonsense content on this channel. Thanks, Coch.
Wait til you try the m&p compact carry comp. Made a great gun even better. Had the compact and just shot my new carry comp today. Excellent gun.
if you are having a issue where the factory sights don't line up with the red dot it could be because of the battery in the red dot, one way to take a little of the height off for the red dot would be to go with one that is solar and doesn't use batteries
Brought my glock 19 last month damn I love ❤️ that thing better than my wife
Lol
@@senturion417 Damn☠️☠️🤣
Glock 19 is my first love too
I really appreciate the reviews by people who use these weapons in real life. I carry to protect myself and others, but haven't ever been (and hope to never have too) put to the test. And I am so broken, these reviews also tell me what I am too disabled to do.
Used the Glocks because they were issued to me for work. But not a great fan of them. Like the M&P and would prefer them of the two. But my carry now is the FN 509 midsize.
For years I was staunchly opposed to M&Ps based on aesthetics alone. Then I fired one. Eventually I bought a Compact 2.0. The grippy texture makes a big difference when it's hot and humid.
Glocks are terrific, but I've never loved the trigger or ergonomics. That's why I no longer own any.
Excellent comparison
Thanks for the comparison and your insight, Coch. We truly are spoiled for choice these days on gun choices. People can find the one that suits them best. Cheers! 👍🏻
Im a Glock guy and have a few thanks to the blue label discount but my M&P.....it goes everywhere with me!
I disagree about the need to do major upgrades to the Glock. For the Gen 5, sights are about all that is needed. As to M&P, it is also a very fine choice. Just depends on what you like.
Coch is the man. Love his content .
M&p 2.0, g17 and p320 all carried at work and the m&p 2.0 is by far my favorite. Them with the junk stock trigger.
We in this wonderful place where you can basically just just which gun you like the looks of from whichever big manufacturer you want.
Both these guns are great and i would run either one. For my money i would prob choose the m&p because i could probably find it a bit cheaper and not have to upgrade sights as quick.
Both great, as is walther pdp, or cz p10.
Still taking my p07 over either of these 😎
You really need them to send you out the new 10mm M&P. You will love it.
M&P 2.0 has better ergonomics with 18° grip angle, better trigger and sights. Hands down S&W blows Glock away in almost every category. The only thing Glock wins is aftermarket support. You need Aftermarket upgrades because stock Glock sucks
I've seen a lot of praise for the m&p 2.0... I had a shield years ago. It was a good lil handgun. I'll be in the market for a full-size handgun maybe next year. Just doing some studying. Good vid thanks!
Choices are great. I do prefer the S&W for the same reason, the grip and new trigger. Golden combo.
I made the switch to M&P once the 2.0’s with flat trigger came out. I carry a Performance Center Shield Plus and wouldn’t change a thing about it. For mid to full size guns I went with the 509 series by FN.
I own both the G19 Gen5 and the M&P 9 C with a 3.6" barrel. Both are reliable and accurate, but the M&P looks much cooler, which is probably only important to me. 😊
He is telling the truth. I experienced this and had to replace both sights. I've got about 1000 rounds though my G43 sight went flying down range.😅
Love my M&P 2.0c and shield plus pc.
i like the grip on my M&P. i have on older one that i put a apex trigger in and its my favorite pistol. i recently got a glock 19M gen 5 mos that i put a holosun on and i really like it now.
I started with the full size 2.0 with original trigger shoe and safety along with not optic ready but with a dovedot sight adapter with 507k, deleted the safety and a precision overwatch flat face trigger all done myself no gunsmith exp....2500+rounds later not the first malfuction or issue with 507k i love mine and will always be SW fan....want to get the new shield carry comp next
G19 all day
I have both so not taking sides, but there is nothing you need to do to a Glock except sights and that’s personal preference. No joke I seen a guy make tight groups at 25 yards (indoor range), with a Glock 17 all stock. I couldn’t believe it so I approached him and asked where did you learn to shoot like that, he replied in a very professional manner and he told me he was S.W.A.T. then you have guys like Hicko45 that can shoot wings of a fly with a stock Glock 19. Learn how to shoot a double action, revolver in double action and then you’ll know how to shoot a semiautomatic handgun. I know the guy he only shoots Wilson combat, and does nothing but complain about Glock triggers, just an outright nagging B****h every time I see I go the other way.
No time on the S&W. Everybody keeps saying you need to do all these things to your Glock, but i've got over 2 decades shooting bone-stock Glocks and never felt like I needed to upgrade anything
I want a 2.0 I have a 19 gen 5 and I agree you got to do stuff to them .
Another great video Coach!
I like the look and features on the S&W guns way better , but I do shoot the Glocks better for whatever reason.
the 2.0s have definitely changed the market up. Love the platform now
The 2.0's perfected what was already a decent pistol. S&W hit it out the park with the 2.0's!
@@jessewhite4897 my
M& P 40 was my first . Like my G34 9 too.
Carry Spfld XD 9vor 45 just sweet in jean pocket . Used to compete weekly . All about whats in your hand and the brain realizing what s going on overall. Do appreciate 191q grip angle overall
Vs CZ P-07
Good review. Appreciate it.
Can’t go wrong with either. S&W is an outstanding pistol. I actually love both.
I do some pistol instruction in my state. Not nearly as much as most others have, but a good number at this point. The only time I’ve found people to take issue with the Glock grip angle are small women and men; only after telling them about the Glock grip angle
Thanks for sharing Coach
Can't go wrong with a Glock 19/23. Nite Sites, a Streamlight, and some talon grips on a Gen 3 is perfect IMO. That is until I got hold of a M&P 2.0. Coch is rite... The grip angle and texture feel more natural in the hand. It's a natural point and shoot weapon.
Truth is most modern handguns are reliable and accurate.
It's just the individual shooters preference.
There isn't much of a best.
Just best for you.
I love Glock grips. I used to carry Sig 228's,229's and 226's. I switched to Glock and prefer them. I do have a couple M&P's that I really like though.
I have both, the G19 is probably the most common pistol in circulation…
It’s too bad the stock trigger and grip angle are trash. The M&P was decent out of the box, and great with an Apex flatty.
My first time watching your videos, liked the viedo keep them up. I just bought a S&P 2.0 few months back. So far I love it. Im getting a little more on the heavy side, (6'4" 280) and had to find the right holster for my 3 oclock conseal carry. The factory sight tends to grab some flesh :).. It does feel great in the hands, but I havn't ever used the glock, so no comparison from me.
M and P 2.0 series for me. Never had any issues with the 1.0 or 2.0 series. You really can't go wrong with the M&P or Glock & both are reliable and well proven platforms. It's just a matter of preference.
I’m in the same boat the grip angle sucks for me on the Glock but I still own them because they don’t fail
I have both and the M&P fits my hands better. I do well with the hinged trigger on the 5" Pro Series. The flat trigger is awesome too.
I like having the thumb safety on my M&Ps solely as a recoil shelf for my thumb.
As an owner of both, I prefer the grip on the M&P and the modularity of the Glock. That's changing, though, as more and more companies are putting out products for the M&P
What sites do you recommend putting in my Glock 22 gen3?
Thank you for sharing this information 😃🙏
Train with what you got!! If you're lucky enough to have choices! Pick one and train! Simple!
Have a G19 and the M&P Compact. Both are sweet shooting guns. I'd choose the M&P every day.
But I really prefer the CZ 75 platform or the Sig Pro Series
I'm torn! I started shooting Glocks. I have a Gen5 19, 23 and a 48MOS. I have an m&p 9 subcompact and a 40 3.6. I shoot them all the same, but find myself carrying the m&p 40 3.6 or the 48 mos more often. All are amazing, but M&P slightly gets the nod.😊
I personally started on a P226 and my lizard brain can not comprehend the Glock grip angle. I have to think about pushing the front of the gun down otherwise im shooting for the moon. I carry a m&p shield 40 every day. I don’t have to think about that glorious angle. It points naturally for me. I’m sure if i started on Glock it would be a different story. If i had thousands of rounds through a Glock I’m sure it would be just as natural, but i prefer my smith over a Glock. I don’t have to fit in with the boys. My smith works, it points naturally, and I’m super uncool. What else do i need?
It's so hard to like these kind of pistols after starting with a P226. I started with a Beretta 92FS. Then I decided to buy it's nemesis the P226, West German marked one at that. Later I got a Glock 19 and it was alright but kind of felt less than. I finally got a plastic striker pistol that gave me that 92FS/P226 feeling. That "Damn this is a nice gun" feeling. Walther P99AS
I’ve been shooting Glocks for over 30 years but I’ve always wanted a S&W 2.0. I’d have to check if those Smiths are available for sale in CA.
