M&P 40c vs Glock 27

- Опубликовано: 10 апр 2011
- Two similar carry guns from totally different companies are compared. I get quite a few requests to compare these two popular firearms, side-by-side. Well, here's my take. You know I'm biased, but I try to give you a somewhat objective comparison. Just factor in my Glock bias. :-)

I'm going to have to stop watching your video's my wife say you're a bad influence I have purchased like 56 guns. lol I already have owned the Glock 27 then I went out and purchased the Smith & Wesson Compact 40 after watching this video you make the perfect salesman
John Doe
😂😂😅 same
Which do you prefer then?
Only a presenter like Hickok45 can get me to watch a man measure weapon parts in the forest for 32 minutes.
Ain't that the truth.
Dude I just did this because my buddy was debating between these two guns. So I looked up a "vs" video, this popped up, and I watched the whole damn thing.
@ Ancaporado LOL i know this is 5 years old, but I have to say i totally agree with you.
Him and nutnfancy
😂
My experience with other guns tells me none of them are any better than Glocks. All a matter of opinion, I guess. :-)
hickok45 i'm a Glock fan i've many types of pistols for about 6 years. I have two Glocks. The 20 model and the 27 model.
I agree, glock rules.
Every super gun guy and competition person I know prefers glock. Lol
@Frank Bonazza III well go watch hk videos
I shoot glocks better. I love them all but shoot them better🤷🏻♂️
I'd take the S&W anyday. Glocks aren't the only gun on the market.....just sayin....lol
Agree 100%
Ive got both sdve 40 light primer strikes swapped it out doin great have Glocks older than me I'm 28 and original oem parts shoot fine never had a problem I think both are great I will say the new shields do give a Glock a run for there money considering smith and Wesson improvements on trigger fuckin nice I will say but Glocks do hold up to they're name I will say so does smith and Wesson both great fun nowa days
@@mikecamacho6968 sdve is 1 1/2 steps better than a Hipoint... easy with your "experienced opinions" 🤣🤣🤣
Facts I have 40 shield 🛡️ over 20k without a malfunction
First handgun I ever shot was my dad's Glock 23 .40 cal. I loved it but I now carry the S&W M&P 40c as my EDC and love it. I've put 5k+ rounds downrange and never had a misfire, stovepipe, failure to feed etc.
@boltjet135 , 9mm is about .36 caliber; .40 is about .40 caliber. Caliber refers to the diameter of the bore.
Thanks for the very informative videos. Just bought a S&W M&P 40C. Looking forward to shooting it. Much better than the M9 that I fired for many years during my MP days.
@chrisjbrunson , That's right. Thanks.
Please revisit the 40cal Glock. Just got my carry permit and was considering the 45 (g30) but when I was at Walmart and saw that 40cal ammo was cheaper than ammo for my 380 I was amazed. We know that ammo prices will rise and fall upon demand (but it's a shame we can't find 22 LR). An ammo price/which cal. your shooting cost concerns) effect is all. We all need a gun we can afford to practice with. Big fan, please keep em coming.
Hickok45, this is one of the best and most important reviews you have done.
A lot of people debate between these two guns for their edc.
As always, you bring great info to the table.
Thank you.
@Solareffects , Yeah, you don't want to leave one out on the deck; a good gust of wind can take it away. Amazing invention.
I enjoyed my Glock since the day I first got it. (G23). I got it new in 1995. in 2010 I wanted a concealed carry pistol and looked into a Glock. I came across the M&P line. After shooting and reviewing and holding and shooting. Sorry Glock. It feels like I am cheating on you. But, This girl is HOT!!!! From the looks and feel of it. I am hooked. I retired my Glock.
😭great story
@jomomma193, Yeah, those full size pistols have a way of not being around when needed.
Love my M&P 40c . Standard full size M&P magazines fit it as well. Haven't had any issues after firing it several times. Fits perfectly for any hand size and feels great overall. Perfect for EDC and home defense.
I've owned both guns. I liked the M&P 40c. I love the Glock 27!
@malikeight, Lots of us "poor" men around, I guess. I can't tell any difference in accuracy between any of my Glocks and my Sig 229, other than the fact that I can shoot the Glocks more accurately. :-)
Hickok sir, if I may be so bold... I know this is an older video but I’m rewatching. I agree with you- the M&P has a “better” trigger, but I too shoot the Glock better.
I believe this is because of the “surprise” effect. Something a state trooper once taught me.
The M&P trigger is so nice that you know exactly when it is going to break and you “anticipate” (or flinch) the recoil. With the Glock, it’s just a little uncertain exactly when it’s going to go “bang” and this surprise effect eliminates your subconscious to anticipate the recoil. Hence- no flinch.
I find now that ironically, I’ll shoot much better with mushy triggers because I cannot pinpoint the exact moment they will go bang. And no matter how hard I practice not to flinch, I think even the best in the world still find themselves doing it once in a while.
Thanks for all the awesome vids!
Dont know what it is but i could listen to hickok45 all day long....and never get bored. Thanks Hickok keep the reviews coming.
Thank you for this comparison video. I was having some doubts in my 27 and now I think I'm just going to stick with what I have. I would love to come shoot with you on that awesome range sometime but I am sure I would get schooled over and over and over. Great shooting keep it up
Just picked up an M&P 40c last week, loving it so far!
So my comments to Hick is I always mod my triggers. The 40c has a rail. The m&p will fit any full size magazine same as the Glocks. I own a few 33 rounds and drums for my Glocks and use em with my Sig ACP with Suppressor. But to me the G27 recoils more than the SW. I work in Fed LE and carry a Sig p229. But imho don't go by a video go and rent or demo one and try before you buy, its the golden rule. And my SW40 has a thumb safety. Just my LE habit as we use to carry HK's. ;)
Love my G27, I put +2 mag extensions on all my mags so I can carry 11 + 1. And the loader that is shown is fantastic, worth every penny of the $30 I paid for it.
These are my top 2 picks for CC and I appreciate the help... I think I'm going to have to test both for my final decision. Since you elaborate on the differences so well you leave the true choice up to personal preference. This video was great and I'm always learning from your videos, thanks a lot!
Hickok, Thank you and John for your time and effort in providing us with insightful and funny at times videos, Great job!!
I just want to say thank you. Your videos are very informative and are great to watch.
I will stay with the M&P, great review thanks !
Do u still have it
Glock better
Thank You! You have helped me make several decisions on the guns I want to pay money for. After 2 yrs of watching your videos, You are definitely an accomplished shooter. Keep up the Fantastic work!! Regards
M&P, Glock & XD are good pistols but, I like the XD and M&P better cause it feels nicer in my hands.
My Glock 22 40 magazine holds 15, and it fits in my 27,,,,,,,,,,,,?
One thing you didn't mention is the sights - the Smith's steel sights definitely superior to the Glock's plastic ones. Also a bit better sight radius on the Smith, and the looks are no comparison - Smith hands down. Yeah, I'm biased just like you are, but love all your vids.
S&W has been around a long time. They must know what the hell is comin' off.
Yes, the MP40C has the better sights out of the box...
agreed
I do agree also, I have owned both and my only gripe with the m&p sights is the front sight on my 40c is a dirt collector because of it being a recessed hole vs the glock front sight post. Every now and then I use a qtip to clean it out from every day carry and it can be a pain.
Philip Beal I know the M&Ps are good guns but they are butt ugly to me, while the Glocks are dead sexy. I like the Glock sights too.
Different strokes.
This is my favorite gun channel by far. Main reason? Just about every video is a CONTINUOUS >20 minutes. That is impressive, to flow so naturally through everything I could think to ask.
As much as I love the dependability and ease of breakdown of the Glock, I love my S&W M&P Shield .40. No comparison in how it fits and feels in my hand while gripping, pulling from my Fobus paddle holster and firing.
Excellent T&E work in this vid Hickok!
Side by side, step by step.
Very well put together..Thanks,I learned a .lot.
I appreciate your take on the Smith & Wesson 40, I just ordered one. I wanted a reliable and good quality gun. Thanks for your endorsement.
great vid! From a S&W BG380 owner looking at a 40 this is gold! Just need to see how they feel in my short fingered hands. It really is amazing how fast you sight in the gong at 80 yards and nail it. Thanks from NY
Hey Hickok, always love your videos! Long time watcher here. I wanted to add that if I'm not mistaken, the M&P40 will automatically drop the slide when you clam a fresh mag into the weapon when the slide is in the locked back position. Which will speed your reload up just a bit. The Glock does not do this. Just my $0.02
You are correct sir! I own the M&P40 and that feature is one of my favorite things about this gun, would REALLY be handy when it comes to loading another mag during a gunfight. Some people say its not safe but ehh i disagree, takes a good amount of force to actually make the gun drop the slide in this way so i cant imagine doing it on accident.
Glocks will do it too it's not a feature it's slamming the mag in too hard and releasing the slide lock
@i500x , Better to have checked and not needed to check than to not have checked and have needed to check. :-)
Absolutely love my M&P 40c, it fits my hand perfectly and lines up naturally on target for me. I found that when shooting the Glock model 27 it was less accurate for me when compared to my M&P 40c. This is exactly opposite of your experience but I believe the root cause is the same, it has to do with the grip angle! Smith & Wesson builds the M&P using the standard 1911angle of 18 degrees where Glock uses a 22 degree angle! Therefore that difference has to be overcome when shooting between these very fine guns.
I carry a Glock 27 and i absolutely love it! I can get 22 round magazines actually manufactured from Glock them selves to capacity isn't a problem! I have owned a M&P Shield 9 and I liked it a lot. I really like the trigger and grip of the Shield Plus 9mm. I would love to get a 40c because, I'm starting to like .40 a lot.
@GOD719 , No, as long as it's crisp, I don't care about the weight.
Good review bud ! I like the explanation of likes an dislikes . Thanx
@ThePress1000 , Yep. They work.
Just got my Glock 27 and was wondering about the slide resistance with a full mag. Was worried for a minute but glad to know it's common. Thanks hickok45!
I love your vids Hickok.. best on RUclips. I"m thinking about picking up a G27, and if I do, it will be the third gun purchase I've made based on your recommendations. I'm a relatively new shooter, and I've learned quite a bit from your channel. I thank you for that brother!
I was just thinking the other day..."I wish somebody would do a good video like this, comparing these two guns". I appreciate this video Hickok45 and I was glad to see even though you are a Glock man that you could remain objective and find goods and bads in both guns. I have been doing a lot of research on what pistol to buy and your videos have helped me as much as or more than anything. Keep up the good work!
I have the M&P .40 with a drop in 9mm barrel/mag/spring+rod. That gives you '2 guns' if you want to shoot both calibers. In 9mm, it's a breeze to shoot; .40 is a pretty hot round for most guys to handle.
Caution: Get the M&P .40 with night sights when you buy it, if in doubt. Aftermarket installation is difficult for a gunsmith because the stock sights are very tightly installed and hard to remove. Mine is utterly reliable and the grip stock shape adjustment is nice to have..
Thanks for posting this. I've got a 40c on the way. Glad you mentioned the reset there at the end. I've heard quite a bit about that. We'll see.
Thanks Hickok, I really do appreciates you taking the time, like I said i have been enjoying your videos.
How does anyone dislike a Hickok video. I just love this guy!
I love the M&P series.
Great video once again Hickok. I like the comparison videos. Still stick with my G30 through it all
I own both and it is like comparing apples to apples. The only real difference to me is aftermarket items. The Glock wins out. My EDC is my 27. But my wife prefers the S&W. She says that felt recoil is better on the S&W. Plus, as you stated, she can load the mags easier without using our loader. Which BTW, is the same one you use. Thanks again for the GREAT videos Sir.
I'm a new pistol shooter with a S&W 9. Your videos have been very informative well done and have helped me. Thanks.
The slide serrations on the M&P are awesome. Best in the gun industry in my opinion
you have helped me with so much information hickok! your are the best gun channel on youtube...
I just wish the cost of additional equipment for the M&P would start to come down. My experiences with the M&P's has been amazing...because of your reviews, I've also just picked up a Walther PPQ....excellent, EXCELLENT weapon! Thank you for your assitance!
Love the videos this comparison is amazing all the details were extremely informative love the videos man blessings to you and your family much love ❤
I have enjoyed watching your shooting videos, I currently own two glocks, the 17Gen3 and also the 21Gen3, I enjoy taking both too the range. Thanks for all your info and Videos.
The weight seems easy enough to account for, the sights on the M&P are metal and the extra length in the M&P frame along with the dual slide release there is a little more weight in there. That weight does help tame some of the snap in recoil between the two. It really is a toss up between the two guns, feel both in hand and take the one that feels best. Great video comparison.
I use to not like Glocks and purchased a S&W Shield. I did not like the S&W Shield and could not shoot it very well. I traded for a Glock 27 and like it,and can shoot it more accurate. Do not asked why ,but the Glock just fits better in my hand and I hit better with it !
Have you done a review of the M&P .45 compact, I love hearing your input,and especially when you miss targets and go "oooook" puts a smile on my face
the difference in weight in the frame comes from the S&W having a molded into the polymer a metal frame. Sown on the AGI S&W M&P Gunsmithing Course
If you take the slide off a Glock and grab the front of the frame (by the rail) you can move the frame back and forth slightly. The M&P won't do the same so I suspect the steel frame insert is a bit strong on the M&P. I could be wrong, but those are my observations....
i appreciate how you are not condescending to less experienced shooters, respectful and VERY informative, a wealth of knowledge and, more importantly, experience.
Those new camera angles are cool. Keep up the good work guys!
I love your videos. I also love my M&P and they do in fact fit the full size .40 mags and some companies make grip expenders that fit the compacts, if someone is looking for more capacity at the range.
He really is something else with that Glock. Great comparison video. Liked, commented and subscribed!
Everytime I watch one of hickok45s videos it reminds me of why I went with the Glock after trying out other firearms. He really knows his stuff. Ive been through the glock 36, glock 22, and now Ive found the one that fits me best, the glock 30 .45 cal. Thanks for all the great videos! And not to mention hes one hell of a shot!!! Hats off to ya hickok45!!!
Of all the good things you say and great insight you give......the last words you say every time..........YOU ARE SOOOOO RIGHT.....LIFE IS GOOD! Thank You!
I have watched many of your other videos on the pm9, lc9, pf9 etc, and I have been debating looking into the m&p 40c but 1 minute into your video I am sold. great shooting.
Best end note of any video I've ever seen. "When you can shoot this much, ya know Life Is Good". Great stuff this would have made me a fan if I wasn't already one.
Excellent comparison! Just an FYI, not sure if someone mentioned it, or not, but the reason for frame weight difference is M&P uses a continuous steel insert for frame's slide rail & components, whereas Glock uses separated components. Not sure about Gen 4s but prior definitely has that for frame's parts. You can see details in pg 2 of their brochure I have to send via PM as comments are not allowing URLs. It's propaganda, but explains weight difference, more steel.
Ok, after watching your videos on the G27 I bought one. Took it to the range yesterday, I am pleasantly surprised at how it shoots! Hope I can carry this soon, as I live in Illinios the only state that still does not have a conceal carry law. May have to move across the river to Missouri. Thanks for your fun and informational videos.
Great video Hickok! I found everything interesting about this video including the weighing of the frames and slides. These are two of my favorite poly pistols I have owned including other brands. For me they are neck and neck. Right not I am contemplating on going from an M&P 9c to a Glock 23 for more rounds and a slightly better 3 finger grip. I think the glock 23 offers a better 3 finger grip at possibly a slight reduction over the M&P with the extension.
Horst Wesp was the lead engineer on the Glock design team. Then went to Walther and did the Walther P99. This is very much like John Browning's1911 & later the FN High Power. The P99 was the fix for the supposed flaws in the Glock. S&W partnered with Walther making a licensed copy called the Smith & Wesson SW99. The M&P used a lot of the engineering from the SW99. Trigger and rounded slide are examples. Glock, Sigma & Walther P99 are brothers and the M&P & PPQ are cousins. All related!
Thanks for this video! I'm deciding between a m&p compact or a SR9c. Think I'm getting the m&p. You always do a great job! keep up the good work!
Hey Hickok, Loved this video! I've shot both (in 9mm mind you), and I can/will say... I like the Glock better- both are awesome, and if the Glock wasn't available, I'd pick the M&P over anything else out there, but... I can't feel bad about the outcome- Glock wins in my book!! Thanks for you awesome comparision! Take care, Pete D.---
Nice video hickok45, thanks for your professionalism and competence !
A long time user of a full size M&P 9 and the Gen 4 G9 and also a carrier of the M&P40c and the 40XDsc I notice that my groupings are consistently low with the M&P40c and the M&P9... very nice, tight, 1-3 inch groups (depending on distance even with multiple shot engagement) but they are about 4 inches south of where my point of aim is. I can only conclude by my OCD self critique that my eyes are utilizing the round white circles around the night jewels instead of the black blade edge of the rear and front sights.Considering the way perspective works, the front circle/jewel naturally looks smaller than the two rear jewels and attempting to center and align them visually puts the front sight blade edge lower than the rear sight... causing lower shots. Fundamentals...focus on the black sights for day shooting...when you're in the dark shooting and can't see the black sights, use the glowing jewels ( although you may or may not shoot low in the dark... at least you will be hitting your target...
@TheRyano1971 , See FAQ videos.
This is the best comparison between the two major mini40's I have ever seen. Thank you for your effort on this video. I have much more knowledge for it.
I love the glock 27 its the most accurate gun I have. Its my favorite out of the 37 guns I have. I want the m&p 45 compact. S&w stepped up lately with this style
Nice, comparison. I picked the M&p 9mm myself. Love the interchangeable palm swells because i have short fingers and a big hand. Also, I love the factory sights and grip angle.
@GadgetsNGear, Yeah, it's not worth the extra grief and friction.
Kudos to the silent cameraman! Great video work on the closeups!
Fantastic channel. Informative, comedic (“what’s this got to do with the price of eggs?”), & action packed. Your cameraman does a great job as well. Planned on a Glock 23 but found out Mass Law prohibits it; S.W. M&P .40c is only alternative. Thanks for helping us 'new shooters'.
@NeedWarForPeace Depends on what you are shooting for....For Fun/Target-Bullseye/Home Defense/Conceal Carry? If your main focus is for defensive situations then there is no need to go farther than 10-15yds or so and typically in the 5-7yd range is plenty. If you are just having fun then shoot as far as you want. But yeah, if its's for defensive purposes then there are plenty of ways to make 5-10yd shooting difficult...moving/target moving/from your back/one handed/off handed, etc, etc, etc
The way you so casually switched over to the gong... you make it look so easy. lol
@jtmoney606 , I didn't know they were out yet for the Gen 4 guns.
The M&P compact can use full size mags and there is a grip extension available similar to the XD. As somebody else stated there is an ambi thumb safety model which I have. It is very intuative to disengage like a 1911 taking no extra time for the first shot. With as many people reporting negligent discharges when holstering their weapon (getting their clothing caught in the trigger etc) it makes sense to have the safety in my humble opinion.
I guess I am confused. I have an M&P .40 and I get 15 rounds into a magazine?
Plastic sights on Glock vs. steel S&W would account for the half ounce weight difference of the slides.
Yep.
I'm a Glock and S&W M&P owner. I love both, I gotta give them both credit. I'm better with the glock because i've shot it more, and I really do like the standard sights....again because i've trained with em. Had I shot the M&P more I'd be better with it. M&P's advantages are ergonomics (not as much now with glocks 4 gen), and to someone new, the trigger feel. Other than that, I'd say they're about the same, love em both. I'm bias to glocks though, I just do so well with them, and no problems.
John Doe your crazy haha
This guy is awesome! I knew very little about guns before watching his videos and still have yet to purchase my first firearm. Hickok45 has been my #1 resource for education and reviews relating to guns. I can't wait to shoot the M&P .40c!
i wish someone would put a tribute video together making music with the gun shots and the sound of the slug hitting the steel
you have the best gun reviews on youtube period..... ive watched em all
love your videos hickok..I'm fairly new to the handgun scene and I have been shopping for a ccw handgun and I'm really leaning toward the G27. My other considerations are MP9c, Springfield xds9, and the G23. I have held all at the range and all feel good. Just want some expert opinion on which you think might be best suited for carry.
Keep the videos coming!!
Cool guy and a helluva Shot! I hope you can do a review on the S&W SDVE 40 Hickok45. Thx
pbruc brooks I wish smith would create an M&P styled pistol in the same size as the SDVE. SDVE just doesn't float my boat but the price is right and it's a great buy and performer. Just looks bad imho. The market is just screaming for smith to come out with a competitor to the Glock19 or glock23 and smith is not willing to cannabilize market from the SDVE
Workin on all the licenses right now but been debating either Glock or S&W, this has me leaning more towards the M&Ps. Only because it seems to handle recoil well, shoots more accurately, would seem more durable in harsh conditions, the weight and everything makes it feel like a real gun in your hands. Even the 9mm version is a jaw dropper of just how slim and compact it is, but still a high powered functioning and valuable piece of steel right there. Glocks are definitely quality and well made though. I do want all 10 shots though. Will let you know what I end up with. Thanks Hickok45 👍🏻
Well after being around a Compact weapon 2 and 1/2 years im finally getting the M&P 40 c in april or may 2014,I learned alot from the Highpoint 9mm (personally I believe the hi-points garbage (my opinion) but its trained me to examine guns and the abilitys of handguns (as a compact they are bulky/heavy and good as a hammer (not a gun) anyhow after taking you're advice and renting the 40c I found it comfortable so thanx for youre training video's
@Gypscrew Contrary to popular belief the terms clip and magazine are not interchangeable. They are, however, related to ammo and how ammo is ultimately placed into the weapon system. As an analogy you could take a barrel and suppressor. Bullets travel down both and they are both cylindrical with a shaft running through the middle, but each serves a completely different function.
Mp frame has metal insert to strengthen it. So it won't bent when shooting like a glock. Many glock has issue (FTE, FTF) when shooting with rail mounted laser/light because it affect the way frame bent. No such issue with MP. But mp factory trigger is not as good as glock IMHO
