You make valid points, but the cherry on top is S&W's LIFETIME WARRANTY!!
S&w makes great revolvers but they had alot of problems trying to make a good auto pistols but have finally getting it right just like Taurus have alot of problems but they finally got it right and at a price most people can afford.
@M Via Glock is made in Smyrna, GA. That would be Georgia in the U.S., not Georgia in Russia.
Glock doesn't NEED a warranty, because they don't break.
Ooooo😏😏😏🔥
You ever wonder why they have a lifetime warranty, Glocks are also very simple Simplicity work's anything that goes wrong with a Glock meaning a worn-out part from shooting the crap out of it you can replace yourself for five bucks.
My biggest selling point. M&P is an American company made in America
Facts. What has the Austrian military done ? Lmao
my gen5 Glock is made in Georgia where i also reside i also work about 2 miles from the factory
I'm seriously beginning to wonder though, if there's a quality control problem that Smith and Wesson right now since they're having to rush out so many firearms. I'm having problems that I've never had with a Smith & Wesson product before
Same here!
@@mustanglx2 yes, my Gen4 G22 was made in Smyrna, GA. also.
I’m a Glock, and 1911 fan. I carry both! Having said that, I picked up an M&P 2.0 9mm compact to check it out. Since the I’ve purchased 3 of them the sub, compact, and full size. The reason being I really like the contours of the handgrip, and interchangeable blackstraps, and the grit finish on the grips as well. Looks like Glock has some competition now!
I bought the S&W M&P 2.0 and love it so far. Also American Made!!!
How many rounds THRU your Smith/Wesson?Thanks
Cant get past the 2 x 4 looking grip. Good shooter though
Totally agree! Steel sights, steel mag that drop free, steel guide rod with flat wire spring, stronger more rigid frame.
steel sights is for a butterfinger . in combat you dont want your magazine to fall free, take it with you. this is not a movie. the texture of the rod and spring doesn't matter, if it works. a lighter frame is good for easy carry. the weight should be on top. with respect.
Polymer sights break a lot easier than steel
@@RobRoyR8R let me guess. Your speed reload consists of taking out empty mag and carefully placing it on a cloth draped table or carefully inserting back to mag holster so that it won't get scuffs....
@Bigbore -- You left out American made and lifetime warranty... but I have the 2.0 Compact 4" and my wife has a 9 Shield EZ, both pistols chosen by pretty much the same reasoning described in this video. That, and how easy they are to shoot well.
@@RobRoyR8R You absolutely want the magazine to solidly eject out!! In combat (literally fighting for your life) who gives a crap about possibly losing a $25 part?? The necessity for reloads are fairly uncommon anyways among police, and virtually nonexistent in a civilian shooting incident. But if one is required, you want it out of the gun ASAP and a fresh one in immediately after. Pick it up later if you dont have the extra $25 or so to spend.
Watch the gun cam video of that cop shooting the guy in the van in Vernon, Texas. The reason the cop fumbled his reload is bc when he hit the mag release (on his Glock) the mag only released about halfway, so was still in the gun when he tried to load the new one. He had to manually pull the mag on out and then attempt the reload again. If he had been actively being shot at in that moment, it could have cost him his life.
My M&P 2.0C ejects all of its mags fully and forcefully, even while the pistol is turned upside down. And that's exactly what you want, a magazine that you know is absolutely going to fully drop every time you hit that button.
You forgot to say:
M/P are just plain sexy!!
LOL he didn’t want to offend the sensitive types. But I agree with you.
Im from PR, I was very close to buy me glock or smith&wesson, but after ssen your video, I'm going for SW, I like the life time warrantie.
Flawless & perfectly designed! I’ve had no issues with any of my m&p’s.
M&P’s have great price... glocks cost too much for what they are

@@caneloweight175weightdrain5 Camels often live in the desert.
Unless its Blue Label. Lol
Indeed Mr William💪
Not true
Agreed, I switched from a Glock 27 to an M & P 3.6 inch .40 caliber for the reasons that you outlined.
I own a glock 22 gen 5 and a m&p40 2.0 4” and love both equally.
I'm not much of a debate guy, more of a "to each your own" guy. I have both platforms and believe whatever your comfortable with is better than no gun. We are blessed to have freedoms to choose whatever we want. Thanks for your input and time.
Amen on the “blessed” part
Thankful every day!
Both good, I very much prefer M&Ps and Sigs. To the point I own one Glock and that is enough. For me it is the ergonomics. I've shot 700 rounds through one gun in a day and couldn't (wouldn't?) through a Glock. Pick what you like. I also like H&K and CZ. The bedside is a Sig, if I could (in Cali) get a CCW, it would be the shield. After a few thousand rounds, no complaints on the tigger on the Shield 1.0.
You can't have whatever you want in california or Massachusetts
@@mortemtyrannis7468 good to hear Happi! I agree
My M&P’s have been amazing insofar as everything that matters in shooting. Thousands of rounds; days of training; no issues.
I agree with you my brother. If you consider the better grip angle of the S&W, lifetime warranty, almost $100 less than the Glock, and the better look them it is definitely a better deal to get the S&W
I have always paid less for a glock then an M&P. Maybe glock gives a better LEO discount?
@@jr303official that's exactly how they built their brand, along with their trade-in program. I've not picked up either using leo discounts, but M&P is generally $50-100 less than Glock. I picked up my M&P for $450. It came with a third mag and night sights. A standard Glock with 2 mags and their plastic U sights at the same store was $520 at the time.
@@theumpteenthtime8854 who has a trade in program? I have always got my guns through LE stores and glock ran me about $365 to $450 and my M&P run me $400 to $500 all depending on with or without NS. I just picked up my M&P performance center M2.0 5" and it was $800 and $950 at cabelas. I find the M&P to be a far better built gun.
@@jr303official I believe they both run the trade-in program now, but Glock invented it. They buy back used leo guns, give a discount for the new department guns, then refurbish and sell the used guns to the public. That's how Glock built their brand and became the standard in the US for so long. It's that pedigree that gives them the ability to sell at a premium to the public even though they have fewer standard features. I agree, the M&P is a tank with more features and it has almost 2 decades of use now, so it is considered tried and true.
@@theumpteenthtime8854 the reason I say M&P is better is because the parts are SS and when you look at the internals the parts are just higher quality. I polish the internals and I find glocks parts are steel or steel coated with other metals where M&P are solid SS parts and you don't sand or polish through metal layers. Glocks are good basic reliable guns and the original striker duty gun. I feel tho S&W being their materials, the lifetime warranty, also that they are over 100+ years old and American made make them are superior product. I do own glocks as well and I appreciate them as well don't get me wrong.
Yep, Glocks are over priced, and the grip angle is just wrong. (for me)
I feel you, I wanted to like the G19 but it just feels so bad in the hand, and I'm a guy who always felt the 92FS fat grip was great
I own an M&P 9mm full size with the 4.25 inch barrel and I love it. My favorite handgun I own! I completely agree with you. I will definitely be purchasing the M&P 2.0 in 45 Caliber next.
I absolutely love the different size back straps for different hand sizes as well as the 17 round mags in my M&P 9. I love good mag capacity.
That's not the full size. The full size has a 5" barrel.
I have the Shield as my CCW. Even though I have the 40 cal, I can handle the recoil better than most 9mm I have. I registered my gun on S&W website, and they enjoy customer feedback.
I had glocks for 15 years and switched to S&W for the Shield .40. After having it a month I ordered a full size M&P .40. Never looked back.
Nice! Just got the 2.0 PC shield in 40 with trijicon sights and ported barrel. I love it
@@marklower007 Try the Civil Defense 60 gr 2000 FPS loads. Very lightweight, light recoil, extremely accurate.
Nice to see some people still enjoy the fat bullets
@@NYG5 I picked .40 a long time ago. I have way too much ammo to ever change.
What an awesome presenter! Total gentleman, very knowlegeable, puts things in perspective, and displays great communication skilla. Love your channel. This is the gold standard for discussing the technical and performance aspects of firearms..
My very first gun was a S&W Shield and it was a great gun but when I got my first Glock that’s when I felt at home. Both are good options but I’m most comfortable with my Glock
@@blueslime1703 neither are inferior... Ok...
Great video. Thanks for the time and energy placed into quality content.
I absolutely love the m&p large insert. When i think about a master grip and the way it fills every void and still allows room for my other hand to get some grip.
Nowadays almost all brands produces at least one "glock-like product", better than glocks out of the box. Pretty much like smartphones, it comes to personal preference, availability and budget. I am not a fan of glocks but hey, its like apple products, you can't deny that they had a massive impact on the industry.
Key word being HAD.
Yeah but like he said if big impact as in both Apple and Glock moved the industry in the direction we are in and with out them I don't think technology would be where are are now with out them. I personally dont buy either product for a few reasons but reliability or advancements isn't one of them.
@@luccianomolaro7114 I disagree on the advancements you mention. Especially with glock. Their living off of their past reputation. Weres that going to put them in 20yrs time? They need innovative ideas now, not later.
Glocks. are the i- phones of the gun World👍😆
@@DS..69 Devil's advocate. Mind you, I'm probably a lifelong S&W fan. But Glocks seem to age like fine wine. After all, their platform has changed relatively little since introduction, yet it's still relevant. Flexible enough to absorb innovation (Glock 43 anyone?), and arguably the largest aftermarket of any handgun in history. Standard-setting in the pistol market in all areas. A G.o.a.T. conversation would be remiss if it didn't mention Glock Perfection. Again, I absolutely love the M&P, and prefer it over all the glocktards out there (lol). But without the OG Plastic Fantastic there would probably be no M&P as we know it. Or M&P 2.0 series, for that matter.
Long and short of it, we live in a great age to be a pistolero.
I've recently purchased the MP 2.0 9mm subcompact and love it! Luckily I had the chance to try out glocks and really felt comfortable with the MP. Love the choices for palm swells and the magazine adapters for 15 and 17 round compact and full size. Made in America 🇺🇸 lifetime warranty were also great 👍
Just got a Subcompact 2.0. How you still liking yours? It's pretty rad
@@PTurbo86 couple hundred rounds and problem free! Have the two factory mags plus a 17 round one I use with the adaptors. Actually taking my sister-in-law to try it out. Also put on a 500 lumen light and actually found a IWB that holds it with the other
I like the M&P shield. It looks good, the feel is great, and the concealability can't be beat
Both pistols are great, and it’s up to the taste of each one, I love the simplicity of glocks, and they looks prettier to me, but I don’t mind carrying m&p, and I trust the quality of S&W, the company that produce the best revolvers in the world
Love my M&P M2.0 Compact 9mm with the 3.6" barrel
Agreed, Best ever!
Agreed. I have one as well. Love it
Got me one brand new for $375
I really like mine. Made the mistake of trading it for a Sig P365, thankfully my buddy traded me the 2.0 back after I realized I didn't like the Sig as much.
Love mine so much am gonna get another one to get some work done on one & keep the other one stock...well maybe change just the trigger
After testing both personally (g17 gen 5 and m&p 2.0 compact), I thought m&p was better because of the trigger and the sights.
Shoulda tried the fde 5inch 😍it’s a lot better than glock 17 feels lovely and more accurate
m&p 2.0 is better than glock in every way and looks 100x better too. why would anyone with any sense pick the glock over the m&p? i don't get
@@cagneybillingsley2165 But the M&P failed the element test.
@@cagneybillingsley2165 You kidding? Glocks are SEXY AF! With that said, my daughter has an M&P 2.0M (only because the G43X didn't fit her well because of her long fingers) that I bought for her (I thought to myself "where did I go wrong in raising her?" LOL), and it's a fine shooter. I actually tried to buy one for me, but the price went like stupid up, and that was for a USED one, and picked up a NEW G43X for less.
My M&P Pro CORE had a terrible factory trigger so I installed a Apex Trigger and now I love it!
Love my Smith&Wesson M&P compact 40 s/w. Been carrying it for approximately 3 years now. Recoil is not bad at all.
I carry my M&P 2.0 9mm Compact everyday for the last 2 years love it !
I've also been carrying one for about 2 years. I did put an RDS sysyem and Apex trigger tho!!
M Via my personal opinion I have a shield .40 don’t much care for it idk what caliber your shooting but when you shoot rapidly it feels like it’s gonna jump out of your hand and you have to readjust
what holster you use mark? i have a few m&p ..but havent seen alot i like for the 2.0 compact...om ki da considering the owb holster because the texture is a littlentoo much, but love it on my hand
@@nathahwelch567 Try the 45 Shield, very manageable recoil, more of a "push" than a "punch"
I have two MMPs 9 mm 2.0 and a 45 shield love them both I agree with you
I like how the s&w m&p 2.0 trigger guard is bigger for gloves.
Glocks look good to me and I love S&W too but Glocks are to damn expensive I go with the 2.0
Before I bought my first pistol (Dec ‘19), I went to the range and shot 6 different 9 mm guns. None of which were M&P. Got to the store, saw the 4.25” M2.0. Apart from looking better than any pistol I have ever seen, the stippling on it and the angle sold me on it. I was going to spend a lot more on a SIG. I am glad I chose wisely. I EDC my 4.25” with Alien Gear Shapeshift 4.0 IWB.
Smith and Wesson all day everyday!
BOOM!
I've been a 1911 guy forever... but I've been shooting M&Ps lately and I'm going to buy an M&P 2.0 in .45 ACP. I just bought my wife the Shield 9 EZ and she loves it. She put 250 rounds through it today and I put 50 though my 1991 Compact Colt. I feel like I shoot the Shield just as well and I've only put 24 rounds through it. The M&P is amazing.
Stfu
Love my S&W, will probably upgrade to the Apex Flattie some day. I like the look. The S&W trigger is fine as it is.
The 18 deg grip angle is huge for me personally. The foundation of my military training back in the day, early 80's, was instinctive shooting on a customized 1911. When I use a sidearm with a different grip angle, 22 degrees, it throws me off on the instinctive, muscle memory type of shooting I prefer. Can I use the sights and shoot effectively with the others? Yes certainly, but it just isn't the same.
I think you get more bang for the buck with the S&W because of price and out of the box configuration, just my opinion. I own 9 Glocks and 1 M&P. They are both fine guns, but they are only as good as the shooter
Rev. Gunn agreed very much so everyone always saying glock carry’s more rounds you can get a 16 round mag for the m&ps I really don’t know why you need more than that if you can hit a target even if it’s moving
Looked up the M P to get some info. I found this comparison very informative. You make great points. I will try them out. Great video.
I actually have both brands. M&P Shield 2.0, which is my carry weapon, and a Glock 17 for home defense. I like both weapons, but the M&P line, at least for me, has a more natural grip angle, and sights
I agree. Glocks are over priced.
But wouldn't trust my life to anything else
@@fidelgarcia5683 Why? They have the same problems any other pistols do. Glocks are good pistols but they are not the perfect pistol they claim by a long shot. Glock is losing ground. There are a lot pistols on the market that are just as good if not better than Glocks and have a lower price tag. I don't own a Glock for two reasons. I won't own any gun that does not have full chamber support and the gun must be pointable. There is a lot to be said for the huge aftermarket for Glocks so you can upgrade and make a Glock into anything you want like LEGOs. Times have changed. Now you don't have to upgrade a gun if it comes standard out of the box like you want it and for a lot less money. Also most new guns are now modular so you can change frames for the chassis. Glock needs to catch up with the times or get left behind.

@@rbm6184 I have owned different guns and yes had issues if not one thing was another and let me tell you that I hated glocks just because people would always talk about them. Anyways after owning one that's it that's the only gun I really trust it's not the prettiest but always works under any condition, that's just my experience and personal preference
@@fidelgarcia5683 If it works for you, is accurate and reliable and does the job then that is what counts. I have a number of pistols that are not Glocks that I trust and they always work under any condition, and that's my experience and personal preference. I look at the gun, not the name on it.
RB M See the new Gen 5 43X and buy the 15 round mags for it then you will change your mind.
Glock 43x owner here. I was on the purchase fence w.the M&P also. Its a beautiful pistol absolutely. The handle fit (not as skinny as m&p) was the selling point. The Glock just felt better overall & their long reliability sold me. I still would love to own that M&P though. Great review also, thanks.
I'm a proud Glock fanboy. My daughter preferred the M&P 2.0M over the 43X. The M&P was more comfortable for her. NGL, I really liked the way it shot as well, and I actually went to the gun store to pick one up for myself as an alternative to carrying my G19X or G30S. The one good selling point for the M&P was that it was considered the "poor man's Glock". Not anymore. The shop wanted something like $625...for a "slightly used" one, when we paid around $500 out the door for a new M&P a year prior. Fortunately for me, they had ONE 43X in the back, brand new, that I paid $650 out the door.
I think you’re pretty much spot on. Both guns function great, have great accuracy, and decent triggers. I personally like the look of the M&P better. But very difficult to dislike either one. Also to spend an extra $100 or $200 or to save it off of one over another to me personally is never an issue. It’s a very small price to pay to have something you prefer and will pretty much last a lifetime.
As a new gun owner I really appreciate all your input on the different firearms. Your reviews of the firearms are extremely helpful. Everyone push me towards glocks, it great to know there are other great options
Take a look at the CZ 75 models ..
ISig Saur p365 XL with a 15 round mag . I Have never had an issue with mine …. I absolutely love it !
They’re all great for enjoyment. We’re all gonna have our own preferences. Great review.
Great video on the the M&P and Glock! My choice is the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact, I have both the 4" and 3.6" 9 mm pistols with some aftermarket upgrades. Love the ergonomic grip with the medium palm swell and was surprise that I like the texture on the handle of the M&P 2.0, as well the same of the Shield 2.0.
Just because your personal preference is the M&P doesn't mean is a better gun, I go 100% with the Glock, if the M&P was a better gun then why most law enforcement officers accross the country the police departments , FBI, US Marshall use Glocks? They could save a lot of money buying the M&Ps right?? 🤷♂️🤷♂️

Great video. I can’t wait to get my MD HQL and pick up my M&P.
My m&p 2.0 has never had a misfire, no malfunctions at all. I've put 800 to1000: rounds through it with 0 malfunctions. I bought mine for $410 out the door at Bud's gun shop on line , I sold my Glock 19 gen 4 because it keept having malfunctions.
Shame. I had a Gen4 G19 and never had one single issue with it, with WELL over 1000 rounds through it. For the record, I'd still own it but I wanted the G19X, and the 'ol lady said I would have to sell the 19 first. Still mad about that.
Love the S&W. They do need a staggered stack shield to take on the P365/Hellcat. I love the stock sights. S&W need a few hundred rounds and then the triggers are awesome!
Shield Plus!
I own a Smith & Wesson 6906 which is a compact 9 mm with a staggered magazine. Holds 12 rounds.
I bought it brand spanking new in the 1990s and it was very popular with law-enforcement and corrections officers. If you drop the magazine, the firearm wouldn't discharge.
Had the pistol for 30 years and it is still has good as new.
My Police Department just went from 40 S&W M&P to 9mm M&P 2.0. I purchased a M&P Shield in 9mm for EDC/back up.
Heard they’re budgeting the high point is what you guys are getting next
This is my first time buying a gun and this trying to decide between these 2. The m&p looks much better. Thank you for your help.
You can’t go wrong either way. But smith has great prices. Check your local gun shop and see if they have sales.
Love my 19, but I totally agree!
I love both. Having said that I carry a Lock 43x with a s15 mag. I got the glock new for $395 with my military discount putting it in the same price range and the S&W. I like the simplicity of Glock but if I had to pay full price for both I would own the S&W.
You should have added how easy it is the disassemble to clean...very easy & one of the main reasons I bought mine.
Grate vid man keep it up
I like all guns, I don't judge!

Yes I agree...jst take what works for you🤙😎
As long as it shoot right. LMAO ! !
So, no Taurus Judge then? 😂
Nice video. Valid points about preference of S&W over Glock. One other reason I prefer the M&P is the way you take it apart for cleaning.
I agree totally , thats why i bought my M&P 2.0 compact...every one of those reasons. And it just felt so perfect in my hand as soon as I touched it. Easy to grip , my grip doesnt fall apart after 5 quick shots. Best grip out there to me
All solid points. Thanks for a great channel
I am superficial, the MP looks nicer.
Every gun looks nicer than a Block.

Yes glocks are square but also 1000 tines easier to get than the smitties unless of course you kive in Massachusetts aka messyuseless
@@gusfraba4715 nah glock looks better
@@jaedn_5100 agree 100%
Don’t know why but I like the way Glock looks

I think Glocks look great too, most say they are ugly, idc what people say I think they look awesome.
I own both. I like the glock look as well, both are nice looking to me
People are strange. The A10 is called the "Warthog". The B52 is nicknamed "BUFF" (Big Ugly Fat F**k). People think Glocks are ugly. IMO, all 3 of the aforementioned are S.E.X.Y.
I have the 9 mm version, and it’s my favorite for so many reasons. I’m not quite a gun enthusiast and I’m by no means an expert. But I know enough to appreciate what this gives me and it’s my personal choice to carry.
All very valid points. I'll have to try an M&P out.
I have a M&P as well as my CZ, Canik's, RUGER's, and I still stick with my CZ although I love my other pistols!!!
CZ is the next thing I plan to try out.
David Philpott I assure you it’s worth it all the way it’s not hype !!
Yes, love my P-10c!
Its all about personal preference, the 2 guns are realy good
Both really good but the value is in the sw. Either go bang if you don't mind spending the extra 150 for the Glock plus the 100 bucks to put better sights on them
Ruben Jimenez agree
i just cant afford a glock you pay over 500 for it new then have to pay 100 for sights and drop in a trigger then melt down the stupid hump i just cant do it i like a stock s&w 2.0
Agreed! What I Ended Up Doing Is Buying A Used Gen 5 19 And It Came With The Steel Night Sights. Whoever Owened It Prior To Me Really Didnt Shoot It or Use It That Much. Had It For Over A Year Now And Its Been Through A Bunch of Different Kinds of Ammo And I Just Love The Reliability And The Ammount of Accessories I Can Buy. I Really Want To Get The M&P Too Though. Prior To My G19 Gen5 I Never Really Owened A Gun Before It. I Think I Understand Why People Buy Tons of Guns Now .... Its Addicting And I Want More! LoL
I love both of my M&P M2.0 9mm compact FDE and full size pro Series 9mm
Thanks this is my first gun I’m getting I’ve decided I want the M&P 2.0 9mm
Thousands of fan boys just had heart attacks. Thanks brother!! 🤣😂 almost boomer been buying, selling and trading pistols for 21 years never owned a glock. Not knocking them just never been much of a Volvo fan.
I’m sure you’ve shot Glocks, but if you haven’t put 1000+ rounds through one don’t discount it. I’ve had G19’s and G23’s for over 20 years and have never had a single failure. I carried it as a Process Server/PI and depended on it. Now, I do have a Shield 9 as my EDC and I love it - but if I could only have one handgun EDC it would be the G19.
Papahahaha 🤣
Glocks are made in Austria, Volvo is made in Sweden. Just sayin.
Volvo? I compare those turds to a ford
I must be the only person who actually prefers the way a Glock looks. I think it just looks clean and classy.
Nothing wrong with that brother 👊
You're not alone! The M&Ps look a little busy for my taste.
I hear you
Same here. It's got a classic look
Glock is the ugliest gun I’ve ever seen but give it to them for their toughness and their aftermarket goodies but I feel the smith gives you all u need out of the box
I agree, i have 2 M&P 2.0s, love them
Im so glad you made this video cuz I’m looking into both at the moment!
Me too!
@Drew Pabian; after seeing the “Beretta M9A3” i think its love at first sight! Lmao
Nice review!! I was having a major issue on buying my first gun. Most of my friends just talk about Glocks. Well, I am not a crowd follower, I want quality. Thanks for helping me make my decision.
The m&p 2.0 is the way to go
The Smith M&P was my choice for my first pistol.
Metal sights, life warranty and yes way better looking!
I just bought this gun , The Smith, love it
I’m a bit late to your video. When the first 4.25” M&P 9 came out I bought 2 but haven’t fired them much. They are both original. I shoot right handed and when the triggers break, the muzzles pull to the right. I can’t quite overcome the characteristic. Web searches relate to trigger over travel causing the muzzle jerking.
I notice on the 2.0, the trigger stop nub is located at a higher position than the original models. Can you tell me from your experience if the 2.0 improved trigger and other enhancements might reduce or eliminate any noticeable muzzle jerking upon trigger break?
Thanks!

I totally agree. Carried one a LEO and have a personal one for over 20 years. No complaints...
The only weakness of the Glock for me is the way I shoot it. With a lot of practice, I can shoot it well. But when I shoot an M&P, I just shoot it better without trying as hard. I am an S&W convert.
It's more about how you're built. Grip angles on Glocks are a little strange, but Glocks fit me perfectly.
It all comes down to price. I made my decision as a first time gun owner and went with the more affordable gun - Smith and Wesson.
Not only is the M&P cheaper, it is better even at the same price. Easy decision.
I like the ergonomics and reliability of s&w whether it's a m&p or the pro series compact 1911 45 acp
Never owned a Glock. I Do remember firing the Gen 1 thought it was too blocky on my hand.
I have the first gen Shield. It failed after 943 rounds. On the sear block the plunger that pushes up onto the sear was stuck in giving me a dead trigger. I tried everything to get that plunger to come out but it was stuck so I had to send the weapon to S&W.
They replaced the whole sear block. I took it apart and placed some grease in that sear plunger. I haven't had a failure since then.
I have both I am going with my g19 gen 4 both guns is going to end up one why especially if u r on the business end it not going matter if Glock or any other gun dead is dead. Thanks for another great video.
I've traded off all of my Glock pistols for Smith & Wesson or Springfield XD-S 9mm
Why?
@@toddmaek5436 what i was thinking
Xd is like a mcrib
I agree with everything you said . It's the grip and grip angle that i prefer .
Nicely done! I tend to agree with you, having pistols from both manufacturers. I carry both brands. Thank you!
I just wish S&W would come up with a RDS mounting solution from their factory.
Kinda, but
the glock mos is still trash compared to getting a slide cut of any brand gun.
@@ryanbaker7448 im just not willing to spend half or more cutting the slide on a gun i already had to purchase. At least the MOS is there and all you need is the proper screw length. S&W just needs to start a 2.0 CORE like they did in the past.
@@phinmac Outer...something has a package of mounting plates, with both the long an short screws and they go into your rear sight dovetail. (for 52.00, and other RDS sysyeams...RMR, DPP, Holosun and others avalable) I have a Holosun on my 2.0. the Holosun uses the RMR footprint. I've just started my long learning curve to learn to use an RDS and I'll admit..I have a long way to go to get comfortable withn them. I've had them for fournrange trips, Ihave already done what I was unable to do in 2 years with my "stock" TrueGlow TFX pros. Put ten shots in the head, in the two in the center mass and one in the head @ 5 and 10 yards.
@M Via Do they have a 2.0 C.O.R.E.?
@M Via I didnt know that. I will look into it. Thanks!
I'll take an M&P all day long, but CZ's are definitely my favorite!!!
Couldn't have said it any better. 75 p01 is my main carry. I love all my cz
What do you like better about cz over S&W? I almost bought a cz but but was a bit more than what I wanted to spend. And seem harder to find
@@stangurule1017 Honestly in my opinion everything. The CZ feels so much better in hand the accuracy the reliability of them. If you ever get the chance to shoot a cz vs a s and m you will see the diffrence. I have done some upgrades on my cz including polishing all internals but that was just because I had it apart. Quality seems. Far better as well. Just a opinion but if you got the funds and chance to shoot both you will see.
Well, I guess you can't use the "because it's made in America" 'argument'.
I own a Gen 3 G19, a G48 (my edc), both versions of the S&W EZ (9mm and 380) also a S&W Shield in .45. I'm happy with all of them. The great part is we all like different things and we have these choices to be happy with. I don't need to knock one to enjoy the other. Be safe everyone!!!
Hey Hegshot.. hi from Italy.. i use the gun mostly for IDPA or target shooting .. I use a glock since 10 years.. but i had an M&P first version.. Do you think the S&W M&P 2.0 will be better for me? I use the gun plain and simple right out of the production line.. no frills no aftermarket stuff in it .. please tell me something... Hi from italy
I own both and still prefer my G19. I hate the SW trigger.
The trigger is the weak spot on the M&P, IMHO. I'm speaking more about the split-hinged trigger than the trigger pull. The Glock reset is vastly superior. Throw an Apex trigger in an M&P and I think the M&P is superior to the Glock, although Glock still wins on the reset. I own both brands, and I would not hesitate to carry either one for self-defense.
My Gen 4 19 has over 3000 rounds through the pipe with no problems. The M&P is also a good pistol.
I LOVE my trigger? Why does every one hate it? Cleaner break than glock and same reset...the hinge can be replaced for 40 bucks with an apex duty(shoe) one.
@M Via your opinion
Apex can fix that.
I have them both, like them equally, Smith has certain advantage,the Glock likewise 😊
I have an older model M&P.40 and a new 5” M&P m2.0 pro series .40 with fiber optic sights! It is one Beautiful Pistol. I love my M&Ps. ❤️
I have been using the first gen m&p 9mm with no issues what so ever , the way it gripped and pulled up to line of sight was what sold me , also price for the whole range kit
Glocks looks like a black stick of butter with a handle
lol totally
😂
😭😭😭
And there’s a reason you put butter on everything.
@@cliftonsuber to get heart disease ?
My problem is ...... I like them all ...
@John Smith , oh yeah. 👍
I have a 43x (put new sights and a flat trigger on it) and a SW MP shield 2.0 with crimson trace green laser and light. Love them both.
I have the original M&P Shield and out of the box it is really hard to rack. I’m told that’s relatively common. Do you have any tips on how I can either break it in faster or are there any other practice fixes for that issue. Being a lefty also makes this tougher.
Thanks
M&P shield and M&P15 sport ll all great guns. I agree fully with you I am now a sub
I love my M&P 9C!!
I am new in guns and I am planning to buy one, please which one of these two guns guns doesn't hurt ? Thank you.
I ordered my first gun, M&P shield 2.0 power center ported with hiviz, waiting for a week now still not shipped 😭
