I am looking at two pistols. When you #### the M+P the barrel looks "loose and pointing in the air slightly". I assume as the action goes forward everything lines up. Which would be the more accurate and longer lasting gun. Both are 9MM?
 
M&P 100% just kinding. Both are good. If you try a search on the topic you will find all the info you are looking for. Lots of topics on it.
you can't go wrong with either.
 
people might jump on me but I'll say this:
Both pistol have a comparable design and construction (polymer) and have one purpose: service.
Let it be in mud, desert or swamp, it's supposed to work.

But for our very honourable Canadian purposes, just pick the one you think looks better
 
The barrel slant upwards is to assist with feeding a bullet from the mag into the chamber AFAIK. There is nothing to worry about.

100% agree with this, they all shoot good and better than the shooter, buy the best looking gun in your eye. Anyway I have a G17 and I like it, but M&P is a better gun over all, better sight, better flame/grip construction base on you can custom fit your hand.

Look a little closer and you'll see that both guns angle the barrel like that when the slide is back. It's not only to aid in feeding the next round but it's part of the delayed blowback operation cycle. It's also the same back and hinge down style found in 1911's, CZ's, Browning High Powers and many, many other center fire semi auto pistols. Only the smaller center fire and most rimfire cartridges use a fixed barrel direct blowback style of operation.

Its called the Browning tilt action. Used in most semi autos.

It's a short recoil system. The barrel and slide recoil together until a cam in the frame engages a lug at the bottom of the barrel chamber, driving it down and seperating it from the slide. Delayed blowback is something entirely different.

And the fact that it appears "loose" when the slide is retracted has absolutely no meaning at all.
 
Look at after market parts, along with replacement parts. Last time I checked Glock mags were $40, S&W mags are around $70 (someone correct me if wrong.)

More mags is a good thing.

Myself, I perfered the workings of the Glock pistol.
 
I sold my m&p 9 for a g17. The interchangable palm swells were great but the mag safety was annoying(i removed it). I like the fit of the glock better....and its a copy of a glock anyways. This time they didn't get their asses sued(re/sigma).
