Both are equally reliable so there is no debate there.
I do prefer the M&P though because of the ergonomics. M&Ps just have a better feel and grip which equates to better control. The newer 2.0 M&P have made this even better. Something to think about, Glock is already at Gen 5 and they still cant get ergonomics right.
I just tried a Gen 5 Glock 45 today thinking that maybe they've improved over the years. Sorry, still just too much of a block gun to me.
There is one other line that I found that exceeds M&P in ergonomics. the HK P30 and HK VP9 VP40. This is on my list of next series of guns to get.
You might also want to consider 'optics ready' options as this is becoming more mainstream just because red dots really make pistol shooting a lot easier. Glock is ahead of the game in this aspect with MOS (optics ready) versions of Gen4 and 5. M&P is lagging as there are not yet any M&P 2.0 CORE (optics ready) versions that i know of, although there are M&P Shield's that are sold with Red Dots already mounted.
If HK releases an optics ready VP9, (especially in fde) i would jump on it in a heartbeat. If S&W beats them to the game and releases a CORE M&P Compact , I'd probably get that one instead.
Hope this helps.
Do M&Ps have a trigger reset yet? I like the trigger reset on Glocks
I don't know... Did Glocks stop going Kaboom yet? I like the lack of Kabooms on M&Ps.
Trigger reset in my opinion is a temporary problem until you get the muscle memory. I have an M&P (original version) that I put an Apex sear into which allows you to sorta notice the reset. But then with lots of shooting and muscle memory I can shoot to reset without needing to feel it at all. Just shoot more, and reset doesn't matter after a while.
They do? Is there a thread on it?
You finally reached 50 posts, so does it really matter?
