I’m a Glock guy too, still, I own both, my carry more often than not is my compact. I think the Smith is just more pointable, natural point of aim. I’ll never not own both, if I had to pick one, and this is mag compatibility aside, I’d pick the 2.0. It’s close, but I’d give it to S&W
Recently bought the 2.0 and I wouldn't trade it for the world. With big hands, the extra back straps made the fit super snug. As my CCW i have no problems with the aggressive grip scratching me as some have reported. I sent hundreds of rounds down range with both of these weapons before settling on the SW M&P 2.0 9mm
I personally think that the 2.0 Compact was the most successful new model rollout in a while. No bugs at all. I can’t even say that about the early production P10c I have and I really love CZ products as a whole. I’m also thrilled that an American owned & assembled M&P has grown into a world class reliable pistol. America can compete with anyone when the playing field is level.
it's 4 years in the future and I just got a compact for $400. It's still one of the top few guns on the market and has better grip angle, texture, better sights, looks better is equally reliable, has a lifetime warranty and is $100-$200 cheaper than a Glock 19.
I love my 2.0c. I put in the Apex deluxe kit where you can adjust the trigger pull with the curved trigger. I also got rid of the non adjustable sights. This is one of my favorite guns to shoot for accuracy. I have H&K's as well as Glocks but S&W did a great job on this gun.
Sounds like you can't go wrong with either firearm. I rented a glock 19 at a indoor range and it fit pretty comfortable on my large size hands and liked it's shootability. Unfortunately there was no M&P 2.0 available for comparison. Both pistols look similar in price online, $50 difference one way or the other.
M&P’s grip angle are just much more comfortable than the Glock’s. M&P looks 1000% better. M&P has metal sights, guide rod and magazine, as supposed to Glock’s which are all plastic. Glock’s hideous sight picture is another turn off as well lol. The winner is very clear :) Great video btw!
I agree. I own both and after leaving the glock in the safe for a couple months and shooting the m&p , I pulled the glock out and it feels horrible( ergonomics) and I am shooting the m&p much better.. now if smith and Wesson would just offer the apex trigger from the factory..
Well said! I agree, after being away from the G43 for a period of time, then coming back to it, it just doesn't feel as good in the hand. Thank you and cheers!
white man from town I agree. I can’t believe with so much online about people putting Apex in their MP pistols, SW should just buy Apex and install them from the get go.
The M&P 2.0 now come with a completely different trigger now. It is now a flat face trigger and it's amazingly good trigger out of the box. It's better than the Gen 1 M&P Apex trigger imo.
My brother had me tag along to help with his first purchase I asked the gun store if they had a bore sight. He picked up the Glock 19 and pointed at a target. Then when he felt the M&P over the Glock he was shocked. Once he presented he was closer on target. He fell in love. With a Mod 2 sub compact. That’s still a nice shooter, and the price was $400 new, couldn’t beat it.
After having issued Glocks for over 20 years, I finally admitted that I didn't really like the ergos of Glocks. I sold off every Glock I owned except one G19. I do have multiple PSA Daggers and P80 pistols because I find the ergos better on those than Glocks. All that said, my daily carry is now a M&P 9 2.0 3.6" model. For me the M&P is absolutely perfect.
Was happy to get rid of my M&P (1st gen model) and now have a Glock as my duty gun. My Springfield SS Champion 1911 is my favorite. But heavy to lug around. After getting used to a nice 1911 trigger all other pistol triggers really suck no matter what you do. I would trust my life to either gun.
Great video. I never dreamed anything but a glock would serve as my EDC..until i sent the first 15 rounds down range from an m&p 2.0 compact. They're both wonderful guns but this 2.0c is everything I wanted it to be and more. Great video KS. Keep it up.
I owned a gen 5 glock 23 a few years back, good gun. I currently have an m&p 2.0, I definitely like the m&p more. Back straps on the m&p are easy to install, Glock back straps are a pain in the ass to install.
The only thing keeping me from the 2.0 compact is the fact I can completely detail strip a Glock 19 with nothing but a punch for frame pins. And the aftermarket support (gen 3) is out of this world. I also do frame work on glocks.
I bought M&P 2.0c a couple of months ago just because I couldn't get my hands on G19(I really wanted G19 due to so much hype). Today I went to the range and rented the G19 to try it out. I'm so glad I bought my M&P 2.0c. To me, G19 felt pretty good in my hand but the stock trigger was almost strangely lame. I couldn't tell when I was hitting the wall when I pulled the trigger. I had to almost guess when it was going to fire. With M&P, you know exactly when you've hit the wall before that final pull to fire. Don't Believe The G19 Hype!
Both are fine guns and I would trust my life to either gun. I personally am a M&P person. I own 5 of them. (including the M&P 2.0 Compact) I have shot alot of the Glock models (17, 19X, 19, 21, 23, 26, 40, and 43) My personal favorite is the 19X because I have large hands. I agree that changing the sights out to a good metal combat sight is a good idea, beyond that, I am not a fan of modifying a carry/self defense gun for a couple of reasons: The manufacturer knows best what combination of components work for safety, reliability and function and anytime you alter the mechanical components of the gun,you are possibly sacrificing said safety, reliability or function. Another good reason not to do it is if you actually have to use the gun to defend your life, it and every round you fired will be in the hands of a court that decides whether you are justified or prosecuted for your decision to use deadly force. How would you like a DA to say something like, “Mr Jones, isn’t it true you installed a better trigger in the gun to make it easier for you to hit your target, which in this case was the deceased ? “ I don’t reload defensive ammo for the same reason. Train, shoot the gun, learn to use the gun as it came from the manufacturer. The trigger will smooth out as you use the gun and you will become used to it as well. ruclips.net/video/HdcBtOI7PTE/видео.html
Well I would not say it works like that. A manufacturer is limited to what the price he wants to sell the gun mays includes in terms of specifications. Nothing to do with te reliability or even safety. An Apex trigger improves the gun with no loss of any of that, for example. They are not crazy. A trial for the loss of safety or reliability would cost them too much. Anyway, you won't have any DA who will tell you that your gun was technically so bad that you had no chance at all to hit (or kill) anyone, so why did you even carry it in the first place.
the DA will say the same about the sights and everything else regardless of your gun/mod choice, and the honest answer is "yes, I would like to be more reliable with my home defense weapon incase of such emergency"...etc, a revolver tends to be the most favorable weapon in the eye of the DA in my opinion (but I do agree with the reliability concerns of changing a trigger unless you know exactly how the internals operate).
@@MrPhillyval thanks for clarifying that nonsense none of what he said is factual. Just repeating what he’s been told. Think for yourself. Trigger upgrades almost always lead to better accuracy how this works against you in court in a justifiable defensive shooting from a legal Firearms owner is just not true
Both are worthy guns. S&W 2.0 is a great deal comparatively. I feel like both are better with a trigger upgrade. The Smith's trigger is better out if the box in the 2.0s IMHO.
Thank you InSight! I agree, they are both great guns. Both do excel with some minor tweaking which turned out to be a lot of fun for this edition. I prefer Glock triggers out of the box but I may be in the minority there! Thank you as always and cheers brother!
I've been seriously considering a G19 Gen 5 for a few reasons. 1. Glock is proven to be highly reliable. 2. Access to parts is plentiful, easy, and inexpensive. 3. Mags are inexpensive compared to most others. 4. TONS of aftermarket options. That said, the M&P has proven it's worth in a crowded market. I was disappointed in their customer service, though. The 2.0 looks great but I don't like the white lettering on the right side, nor do I like the busy look of the controls on the left. The cutouts above the rail don't help either. I like a clean look. Functionally, but the 2.0 Compact and the G19 Gen 5 are great. Your video is great, but I am still at a standstill as to which one I'd like to go with.
I’ve kinda fallen of the Glock wagon when I picked up the M&P 2.0 9mm compact. It has a lot of great features on it that Glock kinda lacks. Like the textured contoured grip. It fix my hand perfectly! There’s more I could say, but will leave it at that for now. I have been reading other posts saying the M&P 2.0 is the Glock Killer. I’m beginning to believe it.
You made this post a year ago and claimed the 2.0 would be a “Glock killer.” As of July 2021, Glock sales out pace the M&P 2.0 by 4:1. Glock is still dominating in world wide sales. Don’t get me wrong, I love both brands, but Glock still wins in popularity with people.
@@colt10mmsecurity68 unless Laser guns are released in the near future, I honestly think Glock is too big to fail at this point. Too many people grew up shooting it/had decades of experience with Glocks, they're always in stock, police and military all over the world use them, it's popular in the entertainment industry, and the aftermarket support/services are unmatched. Even with better stock pistols that have more features or have better aspects like the M&P, CZ P10, FN 509, Sig P320, Walther PDP, and so forth, people will still gravitate towards Glocks and it will never be killed. Microcompacts are selling like hotcakes, but the Glock 43, 43x, and 48 are still some of the top sellers even with less capacity and being larger. People living in places like California with gun restrictions almost exclusively carry Glocks too.
@@JacksonWalter735 -- If popularity is the criterion, yes, Glock wins, but I would like to make this point: Glock has decades of production and 5 generations of their design... that said, there is absolutely no excuse for a Glock not being the most ergonomic pistol with the best grip texture, the best sights and controls, and the best stock trigger. There is no excuse for "Glock knuckle" on a 5th generation gun. When the Canik has a better trigger than a Glock at the Canik's price point... and the CZ P-10C is more refined than a 5th generation G-19... and you can have an M&P 2.0C WITH Apex trigger kit installed for the price of a Glock... it's folly to claim that Glock makes the best guns. Is this really a popularity contest?
@@HalfCrazy520 I agree with all of that and am highly critical of Glock for charging their prices that they do while putting out the products that they do. Unfortunately most people will still choose a Glock though so Glock won't feel compelled to innovate or change more.
I do like the Glock 19, but the Smith M&P 2.0 is definitely a better out-of-the box handgun for quite a bit less money! Thanks for another great comparison video KS 👍🏼
@@whoshotya117 I was just about to say this. The stock trigger on the 2.0 is worlds better than the original M&P, but an aftermarket trigger like an Apex trigger is so much better.
Definitely was not expecting you to say you'd take the m&p over the 19. I personally prefer the m&p over the 19 because the grip is better and it's prettier
As of right now I still have not even held the Gen5 but I sure do love the 2.0. I have 3 of them already and was actually looking at a 4th. Another great review brother, and that was some nice shooting too!
Wow 3! That’s awesome Fu! I agree, they are great shooters for sure. As for the Gen 5, it’s good but I think the Gen 4 is great and cheaper! Thank you and cheers brother!
Many often talk that Glock is proven. It is, but the S&W is also proven and have been making guns since like the late 1800s. They know a thing or two about gun quality. The 2.0 is a high quality gun. Points naturally, durable, great sights, good texture, all right out the box! And looks better doing it. M&P any day over the Glock!
Took my M&P 2.0 Compact to the range yesterday and went through about 500 rounds (450 range and 50 defense). Really impressed with how well it works for me for precision shooting. During rapid fire I tend to track down a bit, but that’s my own issue with slapping the trigger. I was able to mitigate that when I concentrated on the trigger reset, so it’s a training issue for me. Gotta say the 2.0 Compact is a great carry option and recently made its way into my EDC... it’s bigger FDE 5” brother spoiled me a bit though at the range throughout the year. That thing is a great tack driver. Love that I can use those mags in my compact though. Smith has some real winners in the 2.0 lineup!
The Glock grip angle, low bore axis, and lack of protruding controls make it a superior design imo. Throw in the value of the magazines and aftermarket support, and we have ourselves a winner.
Smith all the way. I don’t want to overpay for plastic sights, lazy non beveling of the frame to match the slide, and ugly cut out to strip the magazine.
You hit the nail on the head! Glock charges more than anyone else, yet you get less, with the plastic sights and guide rod. I had the hump in the back of the grip, which hits the hand in the completely wrong place , ergonomically.
I couldn't agree more with you Vu! Plastic sights in the Glock, plastic sights, thick frame with no ergonomic sculpting, plastic guide rod and always the most expensive out there! Smith&Wesson is over 100 dollars less with a $50.00 rebate now. That's about $175.00 less than the Glock.
I have the Gen 5 Mos. Corrects issues and adds front serations as far as cosmetic issues are concerned. Just never cared for Smith's hinged trigger and there magazines generally run more expensive then Glocks.
Good review. I chose the Glock 19 Gen 5 as my first Glock to buy. I have owned M&P's Sig's and Beretta's and mostly over the past few years have been a revolver shooter with .38 Special/.357 Mag. I recently decided to go back to a semi-auto and looked at the M&P 2.0, CZ and others. I rented both the Gen 4 and Gen 5 19's at my local range and decided that I liked the Gen 5 better. I have never owned a Glock so this is my first time with this gun and I love it. It feels great in my hand and I shoot it well. I'm now considering getting the Glock 17 as a new home defense gun to replace my 6-round .357 Mag Ruger. Thank you for the informative videos.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you are liking the gen 5. Aside from a couple of quirks, I really like it too. Probably one of the better Glock triggers out there which is exciting. Cheers!
I shot a M&P before I ever touched a Glock...I hated thr Glock boxy grip, and the trigger.....My first M&P was a 2.0 9mm, with the hinged trigger...I had to sell it during Covid. But now I got the M&P 2.0 10mm 4in, it has the flatter trigger with the blade. I'm in love.
it'd be nice to see S&W add a new model by offering a shortened the Compact, by even 2-3 more rounds, down to the size of the old Compact w/ 12 round mag....(slightly bigger than a GLock 26) Call it the MIcro or SubCompact, whatever.... They already had 12 round mags engineered for the older M&P pistols...
I'll take the Smith&Wesson. It's over $100.00 less with everyday prices and now has a $50.00 rebate. Glocks are overpriced and still need real improvements to ergonomics, sights and thick frame.
I like both guns but out of the box for the money id pick they m&p 9 compact 2.0 over the glock 19. I have a m&p 9 shield 2.0 9mm love it for a single stack pistol. next on my list is the compact 9mm. One thing I hate about glock out of the box is its cheap plastic sights no reason i should pay that much for a firearm and the sights be plastic.
I have a M&P 40C , Glock 19, and Glock 43X. Wife has an M&P 15. So i have both. I am a fan of both. Personally, I carry the Glocks. As a gun owner for self defense purposes, the documented history of reliability on a Glock is the peace of mind i desire when carrying a gun. But I like the M&P series too. Can't go wrong with either.
But you know that the well documented reliability of a Glock, HK, Walther, Smith, ...... is a Advertising Gimmick that cost Glock in the EU about 18 Million Euros and in the US almost 100 Million Dollars a year. You should realize that a gun regardless of Manufakturern is only an designet tool. The question is not if Gl;ock is more reliable than a Kuzuwa Bumbi 357 ACP. Your Gun, your equipment is reliable because you have tested it and you refined it to your fullest trust. Not the manufacturer. A Manufacture gives a Sh...... about your gun as long he can pay the advertising gimmicks.
I love my 2.0 Compact. Thankfully, I got the newer version with the optics-ready mounting plates. While I didn't use the factory plates, the gun just comes so feature-rich. I love how robust it is and how it just has such a natural point of aim. I now have just completely tricked it out. My favorites are the factory sights and new style triggers. This is everything I've thrown on this gun since I know some will be interested. Trijicon RMR Type 2, 1 MOA Version Floyds Customs EDC Magwell and Mag extensions Streamlight TLR1-HL Trex Arms Sidecar C&H Mounting plate
Great review as usual. I think between these two and the P-10C, it really comes down to personal preference. I like my 2.0 the best, honestly just because I like the looks of the M&P's better. Mine will hopefully be getting an Apex as well! Thanks for the video
Not a big glock fan. The MP is a better looking gun. I personally don't like the trigger gaurd on the glock, but I'm just talking ascetics. ty for the comparison. 🖒
I totally agree with your conclusion, and even with the original trigger, it is much better than the Glock. In Isreal, you are permitted to own only one pistol so I have tested a lot of deferent kinds and at the end, since (as you said - "I Could Only Have One"), I chose the M&P 2.0C.
People talk about the 'audible' reset being important... Dude, if you have to fire that thing to defend yourself you won't be wearing ear protection... so trust me on this... you won't hear much of anything for several hours, meaning that an audible reset will become inconsequential at that point. I lit off a 9mm 115 gr jhp down a narrow drywall hallway right at the door of a tile bathroom... yeah, THAT was freakin' deafening!
I carry a glock, have for years, but I admit everytime I shoot my friends M&P I almost want to switch, it is very shooty if that's a word. Im just too invested in glock right now as far as holsters, mags etc.
Best part is Glock sells and RE-sell good you’d prolly get most of you money back sell any Glock product sights mags holsters someone will buy then you make the transition
I kinds want a M&P 2.0 to go with my first gen full size, compact and shield. I went M&P personally due to comfort and looks. Both guns are soooooo Brilliant
I bought my wife a used mp only because it was mint, it had the original packing grease and no wear marks on the internals for 300. Shot it and I was really impressed. I like it, way more then my glocks.
I like both but I prefer the Smith & Wesson plus the fact that the magazine base pad fits more flush in the Smith then the Glock. I don't know why Glocks have to have that gap down there but it seems like every one of them do.
Recently picked up the M&P9 2.0c (4”) as my first gun and I love it. It shoots accurately, has safety features, aggressive grip texturing that keeps the gun put, stainless steel slide, sights, and mag release. Plus, it’s a beautifully designed gun. I think I’ll be shooting this for a long time and I’ve kept it stock. Quality and attractive pistol.
S&W left nothing on the table with the 2.0, it's a world class pistol. Zero advantages to having a glock over this pistol ! IMO both the 2.0 and the Ruger American compact are better than a glock .
Another good review KS. You do a great job of comparing guns features and benefits. I have the Glock 19 gen 4 and not going to gen 5. Not enough difference for me. I also have the new S&W M&P9 2.0. Like the M&P more than I thought I would. Great gun. My pick over the Glock and many others.
Thank you very much Randy! I too prefer the Gen 4. I like that you can MOD it more and the price is much better. Thank you as always and cheers brother!
I’ve had a 4.5” XDm for years and love it. Always wanted a 19 and the time was right with the Gen 5 being a lefty and it became my favorite really fast. It’s the MOS with a 407k on it. Recently picked up a 2.0 4.25” with the thumb safety (I’m a 1911 guy so it made sense to me). Anyhow these 3 pistols rounded up my ultimate polymer 9mm collection. Finally took the 2.0 out today and I was blown away. I still love my 19 but the 2.0 just may replace it as my daily carry gun in the big rig. The XDm however has become the nightstand gun and probably will never shoot it again but the wife loves it in the nightstand so there it will stay. She’s comfortable with it
Other manufacturers haven't been as successful as S&W in offering palm swell grips that actually offer different widths on their service size pistols. Agree with the video.
The M&P Compact 2.0 comes w/steel sights, three mags, much better ergos, & is almost $100 cheaper but the slide stop/release on the right does not drop the slide on mine.
Great video. Well thought out. You covered everything I needed to know. I Just purchased a 2.0. I'm looking forward to having a good time at the range. Thanks.
They are both good guns the only problem is m&p much harder to take down and you have more parts if you try to get in touch with Smith & Wesson they take forever to get back to you once they receive the gun it could take months before you get it back I know people that have trouble with them Glock you could get parts and fix it yourself on the internet or you could send it back to them you'll get it back in about 2 weeks most of the time they never charge you for anything I would just stay with Glock 🇦🇹🇺🇲👍
M&P 2.0C is my CCW and I’m more than happy to depend my life on it. So far around 2,000 rounds through it without any parts breakage. Something else that can be mentioned as of 2023, the availability of mags and parts has been catching up to Glock as well (a factor when I’m shopping guns). Even at gun/outdoor stores in my area, I see more M&P mags on the racks than CZ, HK, Canik etc.
i'm gonna be that guy, i have a 5 inch 2.0 smith and i just bought my first glock 19 gen 5.. i actually like the trigger on the glock better. they are both GREAT triggers, but i prefer the stiffer glock trigger over the smiths.. but both are great!
I plan on uploading a video about my experience with both. In short, bought both a few months back. Today, only my 2.0c remains. This Gen 5 is probably the first Glock that I did not like at all, which is surprising since I own quite a few other Glocks.
This is one I can honestly say I couldn't choose 1 over the other. Im blessed to own both and it would be like choosing which brand of bottled water is my favourite Lol! They are both that Good.
Definitely one of the hardest ones I've done! I love them both as well, though I admit, I prefer the Gen 4 over Gen 5. Thank you for watching and cheers!
I sent my S&W 36 to S&W for repair in early July, I got it back in February. First off, they got my contact information wrong so I never got the estimate so I could approve the work. Then they had my gun down for the wrong work and not what I asked for. Then my gun got misplaced!Then in late January when I called to ask about the progress of the work, I got a very combative customer service representative. I AM NEVER BUYING ANOTHER S&W AGAIN!!!
I’m in the market of buying a 2.0, when you say full size are you referring to the 5 inch barrel? If so, how does it compare to the 4 inch barrel and/or the 4.25 inch barrel? I haven’t shot the 5 inch but I feel it is too big for my ccw. I want the 4.25 because I feel it’ll be more accurate given the longer barrel. Also, how does the second shot accuracy compare to the glock 19? I don’t like glocks because of how heavy the barrels are and I feel it worsens the recoil and second shot accuracy. Thank you if you reply!
Discorama 7 the M&P has been a great pistol thus far. I have the 4.25 inch model. It had been very accurate for me. The recoil management on this pistol is fantastic which helps in the accuracy. I have several 9mm pistols and it’s the softest shooting. The 5 inch model would probably provide you with even more accuracy b/c it would be heavier, and the longer 5 inch barrel would give you a better sight radius
Wouldn't trade my Glocks for the world... Everyone want to be a hater of the best... As you said it's like the Honda Civic of guns... I have 2 of those too... #GlockNation
From 1899 to 1985 Smith and Wesson had 80% of the police market in America. Glock came in in 1985 and took that away from Smith and Wesson. Ever since the engineers at S&W have been working to get back at Glock. The S&W 9VE and SD9VE are exact copies of the Glock. Glock sued. It was settled out of court. Glock gets $9 dollars for everyone sold. The M&P line came out later in 2005. The M&P line is nothing more than a SPECTACULAR redesign of the Glock. I have a Glock 19, Glock 23, XD 40, XD 45, FNS 40, S&W shield 9mm and a S&W M&P 40C. My everyday carry is the M&P 40C.
Excellent review, the best I've seen so far. I love my Gen 4 Glock 19 and carried it since it first came out. However, the new M&P 2.0 has surpassed Glock in many ways and so my new EDC is my 2.0. Also, the new Gen 5 is not good in my opinion. I believe the Gen 4 and even Gen 3 are better.
Hi: I went to the range yesterday and used my M&P for the first time. It jammed every other shot and the next round wouldn't load. sometimes the brass wouldn't eject. Any Ideas? Could it be the ammo? My gun dealer threw in a case of Blazer Brass. Much appreciated, I'm going to try shooting again today to see if this situation repeats. Thanks!
Went to local gun show today. Walked around with my glock 17 gen 4. Fee guys came up to me and I ended up selling it for $650 (more than new retail lol). Went and bought a brand new M&P 2.0. For $550. It's not everyday you can sell a used gun, buy a brand new one and pocket $100 lol. Love my m&p. The reason I left glock, glock knuckle. Even with an undercut job..... Still bugged me
Wow, KS! I can't believe I'm watching this video five months after the fact!!! It's one that I was looking forward to seeing you do and actually suggested it to you (if you remember) back in Nov. 2017. You thought it was a good idea and would make it happen, soon. Hey, it got you 26K views! So, I guess it was worthwhile after it's all said and done. I said all of that, just to thank you for following through and for doing this video. Great job, I enjoyed it! I agree, the M&P M2.0C wins by a nose. I own both the G19 Gen4 and the M2.0C, and I enjoy them both, but for me it's the ergos and in hand feel that gives it the win, IMHO. Six months later, my opinion hasn't changed. What about yours? Again, thanks for the vid, KS! I appreciate you getting it out there. I apologize for not seeing it sooner! 😎👍🏻🇺🇸💥
Thank you very much MileHigh! I do remember the suggestion and it's much appreciated. As for what I think now,... same outcome, though either one are 100% fine choices. You really can't go wrong regardless of which camp you fall into. Cheers brother!
I chose the M&P. I like the grip angle and texture much better than Glocks. Plus S&W is an American company. I have over 1000 rounds in the older version of M&P 9c and now more than 700 rounds through the newer M&P 2.0 Compact. Both have digested all ammo I’ve run through them without any problems. I did smooth the texture a bit on the removable back strap so that shirts don’t hang up on the grip so much when carrying the pistol. It’s my everyday carry gun in the appendix position. I don’t have any problem shooting the stock trigger but I may add an apex flat trigger to the Compact mainly to move the trigger farther forward to help with longer fingers.
That's awesome! I am a big fan of the 2.0C and still really like the 9C. I hope they come out with a 9C 2.0 at some point. I do recommend trying an Apex... it will dramatically change the trigger feel for the better. Thank you and cheers!
KSGunGuy my wife has actually taken over the older 9c, but I really like the new 2.0 Compact better. I think it shoots smoother and softer and I shoot it better. I figure I’ll have to buy a second one once my wife gets ahold of it at the range.😎
Another great versus video KS. And I say that as someone who is definitely not a Glock fan. And is meh to the M&P. Especially the 2.0. However of the 2 I'd have to go with the M&P. Yes my bias against Glock played deeply into my choice. Thumbs up brother. Oh and Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you Matteo! It was a pretty level playing field for this one and both have their pros and cons. I'm with you though, the 2.0C has really made me a believer. Especially with the Apex trigger, it just runs like a clock. Have a fun and safe holiday brother! Cheers
I’m a Glock guy too, still, I own both, my carry more often than not is my compact. I think the Smith is just more pointable, natural point of aim. I’ll never not own both, if I had to pick one, and this is mag compatibility aside, I’d pick the 2.0. It’s close, but I’d give it to S&W
Agreed!
Recently bought the 2.0 and I wouldn't trade it for the world. With big hands, the extra back straps made the fit super snug. As my CCW i have no problems with the aggressive grip scratching me as some have reported. I sent hundreds of rounds down range with both of these weapons before settling on the SW M&P 2.0 9mm
Clyde Green ive got almost 2000 rounds theu my 2.0
I feel you it's a great firearm. . I still carry my glock 19 but I love M&P More feels better in my hands🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
2.0 is incredible. I couldn't be happier with this gun.
I personally think that the 2.0 Compact was the most successful new model rollout in a while. No bugs at all. I can’t even say that about the early production P10c I have and I really love CZ products as a whole.
I’m also thrilled that an American owned & assembled M&P has grown into a world class reliable pistol. America can compete with anyone when the playing field is level.
That's very true! Thank you and cheers!
it's 4 years in the future and I just got a compact for $400. It's still one of the top few guns on the market and has better grip angle, texture, better sights, looks better is equally reliable, has a lifetime warranty and is $100-$200 cheaper than a Glock 19.
I love my 2.0c. I put in the Apex deluxe kit where you can adjust the trigger pull with the curved trigger. I also got rid of the non adjustable sights. This is one of my favorite guns to shoot for accuracy. I have H&K's as well as Glocks but S&W did a great job on this gun.
M&P 9 2.0 all the way. I'm really digging mine.
Two best polymer-framed handguns on the market!! Have both, love both.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
Sounds like you can't go wrong with either firearm. I rented a glock 19 at a indoor range and it fit pretty comfortable on my large size hands and liked it's shootability. Unfortunately there was no M&P 2.0 available for comparison. Both pistols look similar in price online, $50 difference one way or the other.
M&P’s grip angle are just much more comfortable than the Glock’s. M&P looks 1000% better. M&P has metal sights, guide rod and magazine, as supposed to Glock’s which are all plastic. Glock’s hideous sight picture is another turn off as well lol. The winner is very clear :) Great video btw!
M&Ps are great guns for sure! Thank you and cheers!
The Glock mag is metal, just plastic coated....
I'm simply not a fan of Glock either, but let's keep it real.
I’m a glock guy, but I agree! I also switched to the 2.0
That’s awesome Marc! The 2.0 is a great platform indeed. Thank you and cheers!
Good job video,both guns great quality,I pick the Smith/Wesson also.
So you basically you went from a Tundra to a Ram. Toyota's are more reliable yhan any American truck. Glocks are just so reliable.
@@stevenadams6964 You need to stop acting like Glocks are the only reliable pistols on the planet. The M&P is far from failure prone.
@@stevenbobbybills -- Thousands of rounds thru my 2.0C and not so much as a bobble. It eats whatever I feed it.
I agree. I own both and after leaving the glock in the safe for a couple months and shooting the m&p , I pulled the glock out and it feels horrible( ergonomics) and I am shooting the m&p much better.. now if smith and Wesson would just offer the apex trigger from the factory..
Well said! I agree, after being away from the G43 for a period of time, then coming back to it, it just doesn't feel as good in the hand. Thank you and cheers!
white man from town I agree. I can’t believe with so much online about people putting Apex in their MP pistols, SW should just buy Apex and install them from the get go.
The M&P 2.0 now come with a completely different trigger now. It is now a flat face trigger and it's amazingly good trigger out of the box. It's better than the Gen 1 M&P Apex trigger imo.
My brother had me tag along to help with his first purchase I asked the gun store if they had a bore sight. He picked up the Glock 19 and pointed at a target. Then when he felt the M&P over the Glock he was shocked. Once he presented he was closer on target. He fell in love.
With a Mod 2 sub compact. That’s still a nice shooter, and the price was $400 new, couldn’t beat it.
After having issued Glocks for over 20 years, I finally admitted that I didn't really like the ergos of Glocks. I sold off every Glock I owned except one G19. I do have multiple PSA Daggers and P80 pistols because I find the ergos better on those than Glocks. All that said, my daily carry is now a M&P 9 2.0 3.6" model. For me the M&P is absolutely perfect.
M&p all day I carry one every day I carried a glock before and I can honestly say I trust my life to my m&p
They are awesome guns indeed! Thank you and cheers!
Was happy to get rid of my M&P (1st gen model) and now have a Glock as my duty gun. My Springfield SS Champion 1911 is my favorite. But heavy to lug around. After getting used to a nice 1911 trigger all other pistol triggers really suck no matter what you do. I would trust my life to either gun.
Looking to buy the M&P. Torn between the 3.6 and 4 inch.. Keep going back and forth.. Ugh
@@kwmulligan ONE OF EACH, would solve that problem.. lol
Dumped my Glock for M and P and never looking back
Great video. I never dreamed anything but a glock would serve as my EDC..until i sent the first 15 rounds down range from an m&p 2.0 compact. They're both wonderful guns but this 2.0c is everything I wanted it to be and more. Great video KS. Keep it up.
Thank you Dustin! I agree, the 2.0c is an awesome gun and has really turned into a hugely popular option. Cheers brother!
I owned a gen 5 glock 23 a few years back, good gun. I currently have an m&p 2.0, I definitely like the m&p more. Back straps on the m&p are easy to install, Glock back straps are a pain in the ass to install.
I own a gen 3 Glock 22 and a M&P 2.0 Compact. They’re both great handguns but the 2.0 takes the cake!
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
The only thing keeping me from the 2.0 compact is the fact I can completely detail strip a Glock 19 with nothing but a punch for frame pins. And the aftermarket support (gen 3) is out of this world. I also do frame work on glocks.
Nice look. They are very close but the ergonomics and grip texture of the M&P wins hands down. The $400 price tag also makes the M&P the top gun here.
Well said Funky! I agree brother. Cheers!
This gun is $600+ in 2021
@@MacroMicro99 nah my dad just got one for $475
@@drakeanton2000 when i went looked thats how much it was at academy
@@MacroMicro99 about to get mine for $440 here in Texas at the gun shop. New... I’m torn between the 2.0 C or Te Glock 19x
I bought M&P 2.0c a couple of months ago just because I couldn't get my hands on G19(I really wanted G19 due to so much hype). Today I went to the range and rented the G19 to try it out. I'm so glad I bought my M&P 2.0c. To me, G19 felt pretty good in my hand but the stock trigger was almost strangely lame. I couldn't tell when I was hitting the wall when I pulled the trigger. I had to almost guess when it was going to fire. With M&P, you know exactly when you've hit the wall before that final pull to fire. Don't Believe The G19 Hype!
Both are fine guns and I would trust my life to either gun. I personally am a M&P person. I own 5 of them. (including the M&P 2.0 Compact) I have shot alot of the Glock models (17, 19X, 19, 21, 23, 26, 40, and 43) My personal favorite is the 19X because I have large hands. I agree that changing the sights out to a good metal combat sight is a good idea, beyond that, I am not a fan of modifying a carry/self defense gun for a couple of reasons: The manufacturer knows best what combination of components work for safety, reliability and function and anytime you alter the mechanical components of the gun,you are possibly sacrificing said safety, reliability or function. Another good reason not to do it is if you actually have to use the gun to defend your life, it and every round you fired will be in the hands of a court that decides whether you are justified or prosecuted for your decision to use deadly force. How would you like a DA to say something like, “Mr Jones, isn’t it true you installed a better trigger in the gun to make it easier for you to hit your target, which in this case was the deceased ? “
I don’t reload defensive ammo for the same reason. Train, shoot the gun, learn to use the gun as it came from the manufacturer. The trigger will smooth out as you use the gun and you will become used to it as well.
ruclips.net/video/HdcBtOI7PTE/видео.html
Well I would not say it works like that. A manufacturer is limited to what the price he wants to sell the gun mays includes in terms of specifications. Nothing to do with te reliability or even safety. An Apex trigger improves the gun with no loss of any of that, for example. They are not crazy. A trial for the loss of safety or reliability would cost them too much.
Anyway, you won't have any DA who will tell you that your gun was technically so bad that you had no chance at all to hit (or kill) anyone, so why did you even carry it in the first place.
Ken I agree with you
the DA will say the same about the sights and everything else regardless of your gun/mod choice, and the honest answer is "yes, I would like to be more reliable with my home defense weapon incase of such emergency"...etc, a revolver tends to be the most favorable weapon in the eye of the DA in my opinion (but I do agree with the reliability concerns of changing a trigger unless you know exactly how the internals operate).
@@MrPhillyval thanks for clarifying that nonsense none of what he said is factual. Just repeating what he’s been told. Think for yourself. Trigger upgrades almost always lead to better accuracy how this works against you in court in a justifiable defensive shooting from a legal Firearms owner is just not true
M&P 2.0 every day. Better ergonomics, sights, trigger, and price. Had a Glock 23 and sold it. Still have the M&P.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
Both are worthy guns. S&W 2.0 is a great deal comparatively. I feel like both are better with a trigger upgrade. The Smith's trigger is better out if the box in the 2.0s IMHO.
Thank you InSight! I agree, they are both great guns. Both do excel with some minor tweaking which turned out to be a lot of fun for this edition. I prefer Glock triggers out of the box but I may be in the minority there! Thank you as always and cheers brother!
I've been seriously considering a G19 Gen 5 for a few reasons. 1. Glock is proven to be highly reliable. 2. Access to parts is plentiful, easy, and inexpensive. 3. Mags are inexpensive compared to most others. 4. TONS of aftermarket options. That said, the M&P has proven it's worth in a crowded market. I was disappointed in their customer service, though. The 2.0 looks great but I don't like the white lettering on the right side, nor do I like the busy look of the controls on the left. The cutouts above the rail don't help either. I like a clean look. Functionally, but the 2.0 Compact and the G19 Gen 5 are great. Your video is great, but I am still at a standstill as to which one I'd like to go with.
Frankly, go with the one you shoot better. Either will serve well. Thank you and cheers!
I’ve kinda fallen of the Glock wagon when I picked up the M&P 2.0 9mm compact. It has a lot of great features on it that Glock kinda lacks. Like the textured contoured grip. It fix my hand perfectly! There’s more I could say, but will leave it at that for now. I have been reading other posts saying the M&P 2.0 is the Glock Killer. I’m beginning to believe it.
You made this post a year ago and claimed the 2.0 would be a “Glock killer.” As of July 2021, Glock sales out pace the M&P 2.0 by 4:1. Glock is still dominating in world wide sales. Don’t get me wrong, I love both brands, but Glock still wins in popularity with people.
@@colt10mmsecurity68 unless Laser guns are released in the near future, I honestly think Glock is too big to fail at this point. Too many people grew up shooting it/had decades of experience with Glocks, they're always in stock, police and military all over the world use them, it's popular in the entertainment industry, and the aftermarket support/services are unmatched. Even with better stock pistols that have more features or have better aspects like the M&P, CZ P10, FN 509, Sig P320, Walther PDP, and so forth, people will still gravitate towards Glocks and it will never be killed. Microcompacts are selling like hotcakes, but the Glock 43, 43x, and 48 are still some of the top sellers even with less capacity and being larger. People living in places like California with gun restrictions almost exclusively carry Glocks too.
@@JacksonWalter735 Yup on all accounts.
@@JacksonWalter735 -- If popularity is the criterion, yes, Glock wins, but I would like to make this point: Glock has decades of production and 5 generations of their design... that said, there is absolutely no excuse for a Glock not being the most ergonomic pistol with the best grip texture, the best sights and controls, and the best stock trigger. There is no excuse for "Glock knuckle" on a 5th generation gun.
When the Canik has a better trigger than a Glock at the Canik's price point... and the CZ P-10C is more refined than a 5th generation G-19... and you can have an M&P 2.0C WITH Apex trigger kit installed for the price of a Glock... it's folly to claim that Glock makes the best guns. Is this really a popularity contest?
@@HalfCrazy520 I agree with all of that and am highly critical of Glock for charging their prices that they do while putting out the products that they do. Unfortunately most people will still choose a Glock though so Glock won't feel compelled to innovate or change more.
I do like the Glock 19, but the Smith M&P 2.0 is definitely a better out-of-the box handgun for quite a bit less money! Thanks for another great comparison video KS 👍🏼
Well said! I agree about the Smith. Thank you and cheers brother!
Thank you my good Sir, your videos are invaluable to your fellow gun addicts!
Glad to help brother!
I love the new 2.0 trigger, wast of money to buy the after market trigger! Love my stock 2.0.
Yep. Stock all day!
Yep.
Nope.
@@whoshotya117 I was just about to say this. The stock trigger on the 2.0 is worlds better than the original M&P, but an aftermarket trigger like an Apex trigger is so much better.
2.0 trigger is fantastic. I have absolutely no idea why so many people are saying it's just o......k, or it sucks.
M&P 2.0 40 the times are changing and Smith and Wesson are making a nice shooting gun.
Definitely was not expecting you to say you'd take the m&p over the 19.
I personally prefer the m&p over the 19 because the grip is better and it's prettier
Love my M&P, didn't have to change the sights or the trigger, shoots great right out of the box.
I agree Dale, it’s great out of the box! That said, some minor tweaks have been fun for the channel if nothing else. Thank you and cheers!

As of right now I still have not even held the Gen5 but I sure do love the 2.0. I have 3 of them already and was actually looking at a 4th. Another great review brother, and that was some nice shooting too!
Wow 3! That’s awesome Fu! I agree, they are great shooters for sure. As for the Gen 5, it’s good but I think the Gen 4 is great and cheaper! Thank you and cheers brother!
Many often talk that Glock is proven. It is, but the S&W is also proven and have been making guns since like the late 1800s. They know a thing or two about gun quality. The 2.0 is a high quality gun. Points naturally, durable, great sights, good texture, all right out the box! And looks better doing it. M&P any day over the Glock!
M&p all day
Took my M&P 2.0 Compact to the range yesterday and went through about 500 rounds (450 range and 50 defense). Really impressed with how well it works for me for precision shooting. During rapid fire I tend to track down a bit, but that’s my own issue with slapping the trigger. I was able to mitigate that when I concentrated on the trigger reset, so it’s a training issue for me. Gotta say the 2.0 Compact is a great carry option and recently made its way into my EDC... it’s bigger FDE 5” brother spoiled me a bit though at the range throughout the year. That thing is a great tack driver. Love that I can use those mags in my compact though. Smith has some real winners in the 2.0 lineup!
That's awesome Gregory! Sounds like you are dialing in with the 2.0c and have the full size down! Thank you for sharing and cheers brother!
The grip angle on the S&W suits my hand better. That's what settles it for me. If you can't hit the target, the rest doesn't matter.
Both are great pistols. For me it all comes down to looks, I like the m&p style better
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
Agree wholeheartedly M&P 2.0 awesome
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
The Glock grip angle, low bore axis, and lack of protruding controls make it a superior design imo. Throw in the value of the magazines and aftermarket support, and we have ourselves a winner.
The m&p is the 1st and currently only gun I’ve ever bought (I’m still only 21) so I can’t speak on the Glock but I love the m&p
Smith all the way. I don’t want to overpay for plastic sights, lazy non beveling of the frame to match the slide, and ugly cut out to strip the magazine.
Well said Vu! Many feel the exact same way. Thank you and cheers!
You hit the nail on the head! Glock charges more than anyone else, yet you get less, with the plastic sights and guide rod. I had the hump in the back of the grip, which hits the hand in the completely wrong place , ergonomically.
"patent pending" on the right side for how many years now? Wish the M&P didn't have the warning on the right side of the slide.
I couldn't agree more with you Vu! Plastic sights in the Glock, plastic sights, thick frame with no ergonomic sculpting, plastic guide rod and always the most expensive out there! Smith&Wesson is over 100 dollars less with a $50.00 rebate now. That's about $175.00 less than the Glock.
I have the Gen 5 Mos. Corrects issues and adds front serations as far as cosmetic issues are concerned. Just never cared for Smith's hinged trigger and there magazines generally run more expensive then Glocks.
Thank you for making an unbiased comparison video. Great job!!
Thank you very much! Cheers!
Good review. I chose the Glock 19 Gen 5 as my first Glock to buy. I have owned M&P's Sig's and Beretta's and mostly over the past few years have been a revolver shooter with .38 Special/.357 Mag. I recently decided to go back to a semi-auto and looked at the M&P 2.0, CZ and others. I rented both the Gen 4 and Gen 5 19's at my local range and decided that I liked the Gen 5 better. I have never owned a Glock so this is my first time with this gun and I love it. It feels great in my hand and I shoot it well. I'm now considering getting the Glock 17 as a new home defense gun to replace my 6-round .357 Mag Ruger. Thank you for the informative videos.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you are liking the gen 5. Aside from a couple of quirks, I really like it too. Probably one of the better Glock triggers out there which is exciting. Cheers!
Me too G5 glock
I shot a M&P before I ever touched a Glock...I hated thr Glock boxy grip, and the trigger.....My first M&P was a 2.0 9mm, with the hinged trigger...I had to sell it during Covid. But now I got the M&P 2.0 10mm 4in, it has the flatter trigger with the blade. I'm in love.
I spent a lot of money converting my holsters, mags and pistols from Glock to the S&W M&P 2.0.
Thanks, a million for this review/comparison. I had been debating on which to get. Your insightful review has given me the answer.
Thank you and my pleasure! Cheers!
Thanks again for the great video KS! I have an M&P 2.0 Compact and I wouldn’t trade it for any other gun on the market today.
Just got my 2.0 compact with a 3.6" barrel yesterday. I am loving it; it will definitely be one of my daily carry choices.
That’s awesome! I’d love to try one at some point. Thank you and cheers!
it'd be nice to see S&W add a new model by offering a shortened the Compact, by even 2-3 more rounds, down to the size of the old Compact w/ 12 round mag....(slightly bigger than a GLock 26) Call it the MIcro or SubCompact, whatever.... They already had 12 round mags engineered for the older M&P pistols...
I'll take the Smith&Wesson. It's over $100.00 less with everyday prices and now has a $50.00 rebate. Glocks are overpriced and still need real improvements to ergonomics, sights and thick frame.

I like both guns but out of the box for the money id pick they m&p 9 compact 2.0 over the glock 19. I have a m&p 9 shield 2.0 9mm love it for a single stack pistol. next on my list is the compact 9mm. One thing I hate about glock out of the box is its cheap plastic sights no reason i should pay that much for a firearm and the sights be plastic.
All I needed to hear! Great video. I’m subbed and off to buy a 2.0c
Thanks Zack and congrats! Cheers!
Smith and Wesson has a winner with the shields. Glock has dominated for years. Glock still a good gun but looks like SW has taken the lead.
I have a M&P 40C , Glock 19, and Glock 43X. Wife has an M&P 15. So i have both. I am a fan of both. Personally, I carry the Glocks. As a gun owner for self defense purposes, the documented history of reliability on a Glock is the peace of mind i desire when carrying a gun. But I like the M&P series too. Can't go wrong with either.
But you know that the well documented reliability of a Glock, HK, Walther, Smith, ...... is a Advertising Gimmick that cost Glock in the EU about 18 Million Euros and in the US almost 100 Million Dollars a year.
You should realize that a gun regardless of Manufakturern is only an designet tool. The question is not if Gl;ock is more reliable than a Kuzuwa Bumbi 357 ACP. Your Gun, your equipment is reliable because you have tested it and you refined it to your fullest trust. Not the manufacturer. A Manufacture gives a Sh...... about your gun as long he can pay the advertising gimmicks.
I love my 2.0 Compact. Thankfully, I got the newer version with the optics-ready mounting plates. While I didn't use the factory plates, the gun just comes so feature-rich. I love how robust it is and how it just has such a natural point of aim. I now have just completely tricked it out. My favorites are the factory sights and new style triggers. This is everything I've thrown on this gun since I know some will be interested.

Great review as usual. I think between these two and the P-10C, it really comes down to personal preference. I like my 2.0 the best, honestly just because I like the looks of the M&P's better. Mine will hopefully be getting an Apex as well! Thanks for the video
Thank you brother! I agree, they are all great and we are luck to have these choices. You'll love the Apex! Cheers!
Not a big glock fan. The MP is a better looking gun. I personally don't like the trigger gaurd on the glock, but I'm just talking ascetics. ty for the comparison. 🖒
Both are runners but I agree, the Smith definitely has it with the looks. Happy holidays and cheers Abaddon!
Definitely need a 2.0 compact
I agree brother! Cheers

Awesome! Thank you and cheers!
I totally agree with your conclusion, and even with the original trigger, it is much better than the Glock.
In Isreal, you are permitted to own only one pistol so I have tested a lot of deferent kinds and at the end, since (as you said - "I Could Only Have One"), I chose the M&P 2.0C.
Well said, Praise Jesus
People talk about the 'audible' reset being important... Dude, if you have to fire that thing to defend yourself you won't be wearing ear protection... so trust me on this... you won't hear much of anything for several hours, meaning that an audible reset will become inconsequential at that point. I lit off a 9mm 115 gr jhp down a narrow drywall hallway right at the door of a tile bathroom... yeah, THAT was freakin' deafening!
I carry a glock, have for years, but I admit everytime I shoot my friends M&P I almost want to switch, it is very shooty if that's a word. Im just too invested in glock right now as far as holsters, mags etc.
Best part is Glock sells and RE-sell good you’d prolly get most of you money back sell any Glock product sights mags holsters someone will buy then you make the transition
Appreciate it. Good quick info on these vids to get a head start on what I want or don't want before heading to the shop
No contest. M&P stock is better. M&P with Apex flatty is vastly better!

I kinds want a M&P 2.0 to go with my first gen full size, compact and shield.
I went M&P personally due to comfort and looks. Both guns are soooooo Brilliant
I bought my wife a used mp only because it was mint, it had the original packing grease and no wear marks on the internals for 300. Shot it and I was really impressed. I like it, way more then my glocks.
I own several Glocks, I've shot them most of my life. The M&P feels better in your hand and has a better grip angle.
Which is more reliable? You welcome!!
I like both but I prefer the Smith & Wesson plus the fact that the magazine base pad fits more flush in the Smith then the Glock. I don't know why Glocks have to have that gap down there but it seems like every one of them do.
Two different professional firearms magazines recently ranked the MP 2 HIGHEST among the Glock 19, Sig P320, XD, FN and others!
Recently picked up the M&P9 2.0c (4”) as my first gun and I love it. It shoots accurately, has safety features, aggressive grip texturing that keeps the gun put, stainless steel slide, sights, and mag release. Plus, it’s a beautifully designed gun. I think I’ll be shooting this for a long time and I’ve kept it stock. Quality and attractive pistol.
They are great guns for sure! Thank you and cheers!
S&W left nothing on the table with the 2.0, it's a world class pistol. Zero advantages to having a glock over this pistol ! IMO both the 2.0 and the Ruger American compact are better than a glock .
Another good review KS. You do a great job of comparing guns features and benefits.
I have the Glock 19 gen 4 and not going to gen 5. Not enough difference for me. I also have the new S&W M&P9 2.0. Like the M&P more than I thought I would. Great gun. My pick over the Glock and many others.
Thank you very much Randy! I too prefer the Gen 4. I like that you can MOD it more and the price is much better. Thank you as always and cheers brother!
I’ve had a 4.5” XDm for years and love it. Always wanted a 19 and the time was right with the Gen 5 being a lefty and it became my favorite really fast. It’s the MOS with a 407k on it. Recently picked up a 2.0 4.25” with the thumb safety (I’m a 1911 guy so it made sense to me). Anyhow these 3 pistols rounded up my ultimate polymer 9mm collection. Finally took the 2.0 out today and I was blown away. I still love my 19 but the 2.0 just may replace it as my daily carry gun in the big rig. The XDm however has become the nightstand gun and probably will never shoot it again but the wife loves it in the nightstand so there it will stay. She’s comfortable with it
Other manufacturers haven't been as successful as S&W in offering palm swell grips that actually offer different widths on their service size pistols. Agree with the video.
The M&P Compact 2.0 comes w/steel sights, three mags, much better ergos, & is almost $100 cheaper but the slide stop/release on the right does not drop the slide on mine.
Great video. Well thought out. You covered everything I needed to know. I Just purchased a 2.0. I'm looking forward to having a good time at the range. Thanks.
Thank you very much! Congrats on the 2.0. They are great guns. Cheers!
They are both good guns the only problem is m&p much harder to take down and you have more parts if you try to get in touch with Smith & Wesson they take forever to get back to you once they receive the gun it could take months before you get it back I know people that have trouble with them Glock you could get parts and fix it yourself on the internet or you could send it back to them you'll get it back in about 2 weeks most of the time they never charge you for anything I would just stay with Glock 🇦🇹🇺🇲👍
M&P 2.0C is my CCW and I’m more than happy to depend my life on it. So far around 2,000 rounds through it without any parts breakage.
Something else that can be mentioned as of 2023, the availability of mags and parts has been catching up to Glock as well (a factor when I’m shopping guns). Even at gun/outdoor stores in my area, I see more M&P mags on the racks than CZ, HK, Canik etc.
i'm gonna be that guy, i have a 5 inch 2.0 smith and i just bought my first glock 19 gen 5.. i actually like the trigger on the glock better. they are both GREAT triggers, but i prefer the stiffer glock trigger over the smiths.. but both are great!
I definitely agree. Also like the feel of the stipling better on my Gen 5 .
I’ve been looking at both of them to be my new carry gun. Thank You.
I also choose the 2.0 Compact.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
Just picked up a 2.0 compact. Absolutely love it! Need to Apex and Trijicon it and she’ll be good to go!! 🤘🏻🇺🇸
Congrats 7UP! That's awesome brother. I think you'll really like it. Thank you and cheers!
I plan on uploading a video about my experience with both. In short, bought both a few months back. Today, only my 2.0c remains. This Gen 5 is probably the first Glock that I did not like at all, which is surprising since I own quite a few other Glocks.
Glock! Availability of parts and mags makes it superior, but the m&p is decent. But glock takes anything you throw at it, red dots you name it.
This is one I can honestly say I couldn't choose 1 over the other. Im blessed to own both and it would be like choosing which brand of bottled water is my favourite Lol! They are both that Good.
Definitely one of the hardest ones I've done! I love them both as well, though I admit, I prefer the Gen 4 over Gen 5. Thank you for watching and cheers!
I USE TO BE A glock boy, NOW IM M&P 2.0 MAN
I went with the m&p.
Jarrid O'Bryan me to. 😁

I sent my S&W 36 to S&W for repair in early July, I got it back
in February. First off, they got my contact information wrong so I never
got the estimate so I could approve the work. Then they had my gun down
for the wrong work and not what I asked for. Then my gun got
misplaced!Then in late January when I called to ask about the progress
of the work, I got a very combative customer service representative. I
AM NEVER BUYING ANOTHER S&W AGAIN!!!
I'm still waiting for my S&W SD9 to come back from the factory. It's been 2 months now.
@@davidleekalbjr.3035 If you're lucky you'll get it back just in time for Christmas.
@@ATINKERER Probably just to give it away as a gift. 😁
I own the G19 and the 2.0 full size.....M&P all day
That's awesome! Thank you and cheers!
I’m in the market of buying a 2.0, when you say full size are you referring to the 5 inch barrel? If so, how does it compare to the 4 inch barrel and/or the 4.25 inch barrel? I haven’t shot the 5 inch but I feel it is too big for my ccw. I want the 4.25 because I feel it’ll be more accurate given the longer barrel. Also, how does the second shot accuracy compare to the glock 19? I don’t like glocks because of how heavy the barrels are and I feel it worsens the recoil and second shot accuracy. Thank you if you reply!
Discorama 7 the M&P has been a great pistol thus far. I have the 4.25 inch model. It had been very accurate for me. The recoil management on this pistol is fantastic which helps in the accuracy. I have several 9mm pistols and it’s the softest shooting. The 5 inch model would probably provide you with even more accuracy b/c it would be heavier, and the longer 5 inch barrel would give you a better sight radius
Thanks, man, I appreciate your timely response and great information. Looks like I'm pulling the trigger on the M&P 2.0 4.25 inch pun intended!
Discorama 7 I think you will love it. And for the quality you get you can’t beat the price
Wouldn't trade my Glocks for the world... Everyone want to be a hater of the best... As you said it's like the Honda Civic of guns... I have 2 of those too... #GlockNation
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
From 1899 to 1985 Smith and Wesson had 80% of the police market in America. Glock came in in 1985 and took that away from Smith and Wesson. Ever since the engineers at S&W have been working to get back at Glock. The S&W 9VE and SD9VE are exact copies of the Glock. Glock sued. It was settled out of court. Glock gets $9 dollars for everyone sold. The M&P line came out later in 2005. The M&P line is nothing more than a SPECTACULAR redesign of the Glock. I have a Glock 19, Glock 23, XD 40, XD 45, FNS 40, S&W shield 9mm and a S&W M&P 40C. My everyday carry is the M&P 40C.
Some people say X....
"....I haven't found that to be the case"
I love my glocks but the m&p 2.0 has them beat without a doubt.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
Excellent review, the best I've seen so far. I love my Gen 4 Glock 19 and carried it since it first came out. However, the new M&P 2.0 has surpassed Glock in many ways and so my new EDC is my 2.0. Also, the new Gen 5 is not good in my opinion. I believe the Gen 4 and even Gen 3 are better.
Thank you very much! I too prefer the Gen 3 and 4 variants. Smith has really come a long way with the M&P line and the 2.0c is just awesome. Cheers!
Nice stuff. I was on the fence. I'm going with the S & P. Thanks!
Thank you very much! Cheers!
Hi: I went to the range yesterday and used my M&P for the first time. It jammed every other shot
and the next round wouldn't load. sometimes the brass wouldn't eject. Any Ideas? Could it be the ammo? My gun dealer threw in a case of Blazer Brass. Much appreciated, I'm going to try shooting again today to see if this situation repeats. Thanks!
I have a Glock 19 as well as the M&P 2.0 and they are both great guns. However, the M&P gets my vote for the best of the two.
Glocks have always been difficult to take down. If the put extended take down tabs it would solve that issue.
Went to local gun show today. Walked around with my glock 17 gen 4. Fee guys came up to me and I ended up selling it for $650 (more than new retail lol). Went and bought a brand new M&P 2.0. For $550. It's not everyday you can sell a used gun, buy a brand new one and pocket $100 lol. Love my m&p. The reason I left glock, glock knuckle. Even with an undercut job..... Still bugged me
M&P 2.0 by a long shot!
Wow, KS! I can't believe I'm watching this video five months after the fact!!!
It's one that I was looking forward to seeing you do and actually suggested it to you (if you remember) back in Nov. 2017. You thought it was a good idea and would make it happen, soon. Hey, it got you 26K views! So, I guess it was worthwhile after it's all said and done.
I said all of that, just to thank you for following through and for doing this video. Great job, I enjoyed it!
I agree, the M&P M2.0C wins by a nose. I own both the G19 Gen4 and the M2.0C, and I enjoy them both, but for me it's the ergos and in hand feel that gives it the win, IMHO. Six months later, my opinion hasn't changed. What about yours?
Again, thanks for the vid, KS! I appreciate you getting it out there. I apologize for not seeing it sooner!
😎👍🏻🇺🇸💥
Thank you very much MileHigh! I do remember the suggestion and it's much appreciated. As for what I think now,... same outcome, though either one are 100% fine choices. You really can't go wrong regardless of which camp you fall into. Cheers brother!
I chose the M&P. I like the grip angle and texture much better than Glocks. Plus S&W is an American company. I have over 1000 rounds in the older version of M&P 9c and now more than 700 rounds through the newer M&P 2.0 Compact. Both have digested all ammo I’ve run through them without any problems. I did smooth the texture a bit on the removable back strap so that shirts don’t hang up on the grip so much when carrying the pistol. It’s my everyday carry gun in the appendix position. I don’t have any problem shooting the stock trigger but I may add an apex flat trigger to the Compact mainly to move the trigger farther forward to help with longer fingers.
That's awesome! I am a big fan of the 2.0C and still really like the 9C. I hope they come out with a 9C 2.0 at some point. I do recommend trying an Apex... it will dramatically change the trigger feel for the better. Thank you and cheers!
KSGunGuy my wife has actually taken over the older 9c, but I really like the new 2.0 Compact better. I think it shoots smoother and softer and I shoot it better. I figure I’ll have to buy a second one once my wife gets ahold of it at the range.😎
Another great versus video KS. And I say that as someone who is definitely not a Glock fan. And is meh to the M&P. Especially the 2.0. However of the 2 I'd have to go with the M&P. Yes my bias against Glock played deeply into my choice.
Thumbs up brother. Oh and Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you Matteo! It was a pretty level playing field for this one and both have their pros and cons. I'm with you though, the 2.0C has really made me a believer. Especially with the Apex trigger, it just runs like a clock. Have a fun and safe holiday brother! Cheers
Have a G19 Gen 3, very good gun......but like my recently purchased 2.0 4.25 quite a bit better. Nice review. 🍻
That's awesome Sean! Thank you for sharing and cheers!
Sean Go I like my gen3...sw and gen4/5 glocks...blahh
