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’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
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.
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.
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’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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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.
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!
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'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.
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. 🖒
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
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!
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 👍🏼
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 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 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.
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 .
The Glock G19 is the standard that all other 9mm guns are compared to. The reason for that is the G19 is the BEST for BOTH Reliability & accuracy especially with the Marksman barrel in the G5's. Glock's motto "GLOCK PERFECTION" is totally deserved!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 🇦🇹🇺🇲👍
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
Gen 5 19... I've had both,,, for me the ease of detail stripping is not even close. The M&P has way too many parts compared to a Glock. Install of the Apex kit is 5 minutes on the G19. At least a 1/2 hour on the S&W if you get the trigger spring 1st time.
Excellent point Clark! I agree, the ease of care and breakdown on Glocks is second to none. The aftermarket support is also awesome. Thank you for watching and cheers brother!
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
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
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!!!
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.
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...
All these people complaining about triggers is pathetic. When shit hits the fan, adrenaline flowing, you will never even realize what trigger you have.
I made the switch to MP - never thought I would till I shot one with the apex trigger - seems if you like the 1911 you will like the MP better - 1911 is my favorite to shoot (2011 would be the pick but I would have to sell a kidney)
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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
Just got the 2.0 in 45 acp and after shooting it for a week or so I was approached with an offer to trade my G19 for a rifle. I would have never considered that before having the M&P in the safe but I did it and haven’t regretted it one bit. It also helps I have 3 other Glocks, but you know... seriously though. The 2.0 is a home run IMHU.
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
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.
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.
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!
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 bought S&W M&P 9 2.0 compact over the Glock 19. I have shot my brother's Glock 19. I also extensively shot a gen 1 M&P compact I gave my son. The Smith was $80 cheaper, had steel sights not plastic and I think it looks better. Both are good guns.
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!
Glock - cheaper made and overpriced Smith and Wesson - quality made, fair priced , and supports your 2nd ammendment rights, also drastically better lookin. What's to debate???
Some of us are a bit slower to forgive S&W for their approval /endorsement/collusion on some anti-gun shit in the '94 Clinton Crime Bill/Assault Weapons Ban Fiasco...
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’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!
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.
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.
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’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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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

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!
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’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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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!
No contest. M&P stock is better. M&P with Apex flatty is vastly better!
Thank you and well said!
Agreed!! Just picked up a m&p with the 4.25 slide and a compact frame with the apex flat trigger kit and was blown away by the pull and feel!

If you tell the same lie enough you'll start to believe it's true
@@andrewn.5117 You must be a democrat!
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'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.

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 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
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!
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!
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!
M&P 2.0 40 the times are changing and Smith and Wesson are making a nice shooting gun.
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.
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
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.
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
Two different professional firearms magazines recently ranked the MP 2 HIGHEST among the Glock 19, Sig P320, XD, FN and others!
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 spent a lot of money converting my holsters, mags and pistols from Glock to the S&W M&P 2.0.
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.
Thank you for making an unbiased comparison video. Great job!!
Thank you very much! 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 .
2.0 all day easy choice🤘🏻🇺🇸👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻
Awesome! Thank you and cheers!
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!!
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.
The Glock G19 is the standard that all other 9mm guns are compared to. The reason for that is the G19 is the BEST for BOTH Reliability & accuracy especially with the Marksman barrel in the G5's. Glock's motto "GLOCK PERFECTION" is totally deserved!
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
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.
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!
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 .
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.
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 🇦🇹🇺🇲👍
I love my glocks but the m&p 2.0 has them beat without a doubt.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
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
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!
M&p all day
Gen 5 19... I've had both,,, for me the ease of detail stripping is not even close. The M&P has way too many parts compared to a Glock. Install of the Apex kit is 5 minutes on the G19. At least a 1/2 hour on the S&W if you get the trigger spring 1st time.
Excellent point Clark! I agree, the ease of care and breakdown on Glocks is second to none. The aftermarket support is also awesome. Thank you for watching and cheers brother!
KSGunGuy Great video by the way your covered both pistols well
I also choose the 2.0 Compact.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
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!
100% agree. I have both and would take my 2.0 compact every time
Awesome! It’s a fantastic gun indeed. Thank you and cheers!
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!
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
Agree wholeheartedly M&P 2.0 awesome

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!
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...
All these people complaining about triggers is pathetic. When shit hits the fan, adrenaline flowing, you will never even realize what trigger you have.
Is shit hitting the fan right now? Its actually just a review and people want the details about triggers. Cheers
I made the switch to MP - never thought I would till I shot one with the apex trigger - seems if you like the 1911 you will like the MP better - 1911 is my favorite to shoot (2011 would be the pick but I would have to sell a kidney)
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.
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
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!
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 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.
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.
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!
I would like to see you compare with the FN compact
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
Just got the 2.0 in 45 acp and after shooting it for a week or so I was approached with an offer to trade my G19 for a rifle. I would have never considered that before having the M&P in the safe but I did it and haven’t regretted it one bit. It also helps I have 3 other Glocks, but you know... seriously though. The 2.0 is a home run IMHU.
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
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.
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.
I’ve been looking at both of them to be my new carry gun. Thank You.
Wish S&W would offer an MOS slide cut that accepts red dot sights as an option
I chuckle every time he says "grenade launchers". I mean, where are we, Mogadishu?
You can never have too many grenade launchers! Thank you and cheers!
@@KSGunGuy01 You're welcome, sir!
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!
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!
What's sadder than a 15 round capable gun with a 10 round magazine? Nothing.
These two have 15 round mags.
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!
Got me a m&p 2.0c 40 for 350. Black friday sale 😁
Got the 9mm 2.0 c 4 inch night sights with 3 mags n box for 309 today. Killer deals at rural king.
I bought S&W M&P 9 2.0 compact over the Glock 19. I have shot my brother's Glock 19. I also extensively shot a gen 1 M&P compact I gave my son. The Smith was $80 cheaper, had steel sights not plastic and I think it looks better. Both are good guns.
I USE TO BE A glock boy, NOW IM M&P 2.0 MAN
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!
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 just bought the M&P but honestly I just want both, I'll be getting a Glock next, 19 or 26 :*)
G19 gen 3 still one of my favorites. M&P 2.O is also a sweet pistol...nothing comes close to the comfort of having my G20 10mm on me though!
Glock - cheaper made and overpriced
Smith and Wesson - quality made, fair priced , and supports your 2nd ammendment rights, also drastically better lookin.
What's to debate???
Glock is proven,so is Smith,do u like blondes, brunettes,or redheads?
Some of us are a bit slower to forgive S&W for their approval /endorsement/collusion on some anti-gun shit in the '94 Clinton Crime Bill/Assault Weapons Ban Fiasco...
@@mdd1963 How about screwing up their revolvers with the Hillary hole?
Glocks are like Toyota's, they just run and rum. Reliability!!!
@@ronwells8806 I like my guns like my women....if you get one of each you never go wrong....lol
