I am new to the handgun game. I have been told you are either a S&W lover or a Glock lover. The more popular census is the M&P9 2.0, which I can buy brand new for $600 (tax in and shipped) in Ontario.
Can someone give me a comparable Glock to the M&P9 2.0? Or should I just buy the M&P 2.0 (new or used)?

Thanks in advance
 
Are you ever planning on adding other pistols to your collection?

If so, you may want to consider the M&P since the Glock has its own unique grip angle which can/may cause you issues aiming other pistols.
 
closest comparable for glock would be the glock 17 , there is a dime a dozen of those on here for sale at some good price points. good luck with the search.
 
As far as I’m concerned, the Glock beats the m&p in every and any which way possible.
Compare the amount of people who use Glock over smith and Wesson, the numbers are staggering and there is a reason for that. Actually, many reasons.
 
I own both brands and I use both regularly.
They are both reliable polymer handguns. Neither are ###y. They just work and require very minimal care.

The advantage of the M&P 2.0 is it has a better trigger, price and better factory sights than the Glock Gen.1-4. Glock has slightly better aftermarket support than the M&P but that is changing now with the increasing popularity of the S&W.

You won’t go wrong with either. Neither have high resale value as they are just that common. I would buy a used one of either and save $100s.

I’ve used Glocks for close to 30 years. If it came down to choosing one, I would pick the Glock. But I won’t feel undergunned with a M&P.
 
M and p 2! great pistol, love the grip angle compared to Glock. Haven’t had any issues with it. The stippling is awesome and it’s just a great gun all around. Glocks are pretty cool but I just don’t like how it handles personally.

And what are these many reason?

Glock was around before the M&P and at the time it was the best polymer SF option (and only) so thats one of the reason they are everywhere

And to me it feels like S&W doesnt really care about the market outside the US so another reason why there is more Glock around. M&P 2.0 is an amazing gun even if you dont like it. Most modern polymer sf are amazing gun you just got to find the one you prefer.

To me that is the M&P 2.0
 
I will see if I can try both out at the range before I decide. But most likely, I am leaning towards the M&P 2.0 (if I can find it on EE for a decent price).

The one for $800 on the EE has the Dawson Precision sights ( which are really good) and the Apex trigger upgrade. It’s also the range kit which comes with all you need to start competing. The basic guns can be found for $500-$600.
 
Had the same question.
I owned both. M&p 2.0 I liked better. I had the 5” m&p 2.0 version.
Sold.
Now I own a cz p10c and will buy p10f.
Cz p10c or p10f is where it’s at.
Thats my experience.
 
Perhaps being a Glock fanboy is the most important one? ;)

M&P’s are in service as duty pistols with many Police forces and can stand toe to toe with Glock’s all day long.

Handle both and see which fits you best. Both are great polymer pistols.

Glocks are a little more common in my circles, which is nice when you forget your mags when packing for a match!!!!
 
I love Glocks, my wife loves M&P's.
The question is do you wear pants or panties :)


Just kidding, both are absolutely excellent, buy the one that fits your hand best
 
I have owned both, and continue to believe that the 2.0 really is the best bang for buck. As an additional note, don't ever hesitate to buy used - lots of great pieces that have barely been used. In truth, only a small percentage have the time to really put rounds through a gun.

That said, the M&P 2.0 offers a far more usable trigger, solid sights, and rivaled performance to the Glock. For comparison, the 17 or 19 will do. The ergos are where they really shine, for all hand sizes as well. I think the advantage here is the translation to other pistols. As the ergos and angles provide a grip far more consistent with traditional pistols, I find less concern jumping between platforms. My Glock grip seems to cant far more that normal, relying heavily on the long squared trigger guard for a mechanical advantage.

The Glock is well...a Glock. Though you'd have to replace the sights if not already done, there is little else you'd have to do unless you wanted to. This is where the Glock has the M&P beat - customization. Other than that, you're really just dialing into the name and reliability. Hell, that's why I'd purchased mine previously. Haha.

You can't go wrong with either, but I would really say that you should buy what feels right. Like, physically. That'll make the difference in the way you shoot, and the enjoyment you receive. Truly.

If you have any questions, don't you hesitate.
 
A Gen 2 M&P at $500 - $600 on the exchange is a steal. Just buy it if after you try both.

The Glock Gen 5 and the M&P 2, are new pistols with improvements over their past iterations. The M&P in my mind has a better grip angle and overall much better ergos than the Glock from any generation. Both gun designs are dead nuts reliable. For most shooters both guns in stock form will out shoot their owners. The Glocks come with usable but not great sights, which a lot of folks change. You can buy all kinds of trigger groups for the Glocks mainly because it comes with a lousy but usable trigger compared to just about any other brand. Each have huge fan bases, who for the most part defend their turf with enthusiasm.

While I have settled on the PPQ Match and that family and the SIG 320 X Five line as my lasting search for Bob Vogel performance (A fail by any standard), I might just as well have stayed with my M&P but egos being what they are...the more you spend the better you shoot despite what the targets say. My advice would be to buy which ever one feels good in your hand and shoot the hell out of it. Both will last you a life time.

Take Care

What gen is your p10c? From what I read there is an issue with the backing plate for the striker sliding down and messing things up, also the striker can rotate out of its position.....

Listen to this man..he knows what he's talkin' about.

But me personally I have been using the M&P.
