Hey everyone I'm just wondering what's your thoughts on the quality of the guns? Finishes and ect... I'm not sure if it's just me but the M&P seems like a cheaper gun... I know they both work magnificently and are great to shoot but what's your thoughts?
 
I liked the trigger and sites on my buddies MP9 more than my plain jane gen 2 Glock.

But it's hard to argue with Glock's track record for durability and reliability.

That said, either would serve a person's need for a poly pistol I'm sure.
 
Both are great and I've never seen either fail with factory ammo. As stated Glock has been proven numerous times to be extremely reliable; however that does not mean the M&P isn't. I can't tell a difference in finish at all between the two.

Like Coke & Pepsi to me :D
 
there both good quality guns and both shoot great too :)

if your going 100% stock trigger then Glock wins, but the APEX trigger in a M&P beats the glock any day.
 
Shot both (Glock17Gen4 and M&P9), would own both if money grew on trees, but picked a Glock, felt and shot better for me

No it's not just you! I've had 3 M&P's and over half a dozen Glocks (gens 2, 3 and 4) and find Glock esp gen4 to be better quality.

I do wish Glocks came with Novaks tho instead of plastics.
 
To say one of those two are better is going to come down to a matter of opinion. Millions of people own Glocks for the sole reason that so many internet commandos recommend them. Shoot them both and decide after that.
 
had a glock and sold it, never really liked it. Carried an M&P 40 at work. thought they were a better gun than the Glock, but then there were some issues. one of our duty guns mysteriously had a sight pushed way the hell out of wack and nobody could figure out why. it got repaired, and it happened again.
The M&P shoots wicked straight.
I know that Glock has come a long way, and I honestly couldn't see the difference in the 2 being produced today. they both have adjustable back straps, they both have readily available aftermarket equipment ( mags, holsters etc)...
I think it just comes down to price point. get the one that fits your budget.
 
I've shot both and prefer the m&p. The only reason is, the glock feels like a 2x4. Both are pretty much equal in terms of reliability (from reports of long use by LEO's).
 
While similar in that they're both poly framed, they don't have much else in common.

Either the Glock grip works for you or it doesn't. The MP's contour seems to adapt to a slightly larger audience.

Even though the MP is much newer, it's caught up to the Glock in terms of aftermarket parts and accessories, so both are pretty equal there.

What's turned me off about Glocks are the '' voluntary product upgrade's '' AKA defects that they don't want to deal with openly. Yes Smith has had issues to, but they've been alot more straightforward in dealing with them I find.

The other + 1 for Smith is innovation. You can see the user feedback and improvement process from the Sigma to the MP. I don't really notice much evolution in the Glocks. The i.c. backstraps seem to be less well thought out than most other makers. Hell, its' been 25 + years and they still have crap sights.

If shtf I wouldn't turn down either one but for my money I'm leaning alot closer to an MP Pro than a Glock atm.
 
Generally speaking, for the average user, I'd say they're equal but different. The M&P has an out of the box trigger than could use some work, the Glock has out of the box sights that could use replacement - cost for the changes? About the same. Reliability? On average, equal. Shootability? Gen 4 Glock, versus current production M&P on average, equal. Durability? On average, equal. It's like Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge - which truck is better?

I wouldn't really used the LEO's "long use" as much to stand on. All those guns do is sit in a holster and a yearly qualification, That's not much use IMO. As to which one is better I'm not sure I own one of each and like both.
