Well a decision had to be made today. One of them to serve as my Carry, HD, SD, Bedside gun. The other to be sold.

I shot 200 rounds of mixed JHP’s and FMJ’s of various weights through both at 10 yards. Shots consisted of slowly timed shots, quick double taps and offhanded point shooting.

Glock wins. With any ammo and any style of shooting, the G19 was consistatly shooting ragged holes in the target. The M&P, while it felt great in my hands, was much less accurate. Not so much that I wouldn’t feel comfortable using it for any purpose, but there was a big enough difference IMO. 3 inch groups with the Glock compared with 5-6 inch groups with the M&P. Double taps with the G19 were astounding. Both bullets were within centimeters of each other.
The G19 now sit’s comfortably in my bed-side safe with a Shield. Hopefully they’ll get along together in a confined space.

Dump the M&P. I’m not a really a huge glock fan, but I own several. I had two M&P 9’s. Sold both, I wanted to like them but nope… Actually I dumped the second M&P for a G19. No regrets.
I think as far as Glocks go, if you just own one, its hard to beat the G19. It would be my bug out gun, and was my IDPA gun (until I bought a G17)

Heh. I did that a few weeks ago and came to the opposite conclusion.
I really need to get around to selling it.
Whew Wishoot…
Thread title had me scared for a second there…
It’s after lunch though so I was able to handle it…
Just don’t pull that crap in the A.M.
Not a Glock fan here, either, but saying that… If I could only afford one, it would be Glock 19. Perfect sixe for all around use, and good mag capacity.
I too have the opposite opinion for me only of course.
I just shoot my M&P better than the Glock.
Having said that though I have no intention of getting rid of either!
I’m also on the Glock train. I’ve owned many of them through the years. Every style of gun like this is just a Glock clone….I don’t own an M&P but I’ve shot several with buddies. In my mind if your going for a gun like this there just is t enough reason to choose anything else.

I’m not a Glock fanboy….
That being said, I ended up selling my M&P compact and kept my Glock 19. Too similar to keep both, but the M&P didn’t do anything better than the Glock.
The M&P’s 17-degree grip angle, round trigger guard, bigger extractor, and scalloped slides serrations are pluses for me; however, I detest any kind of rail for mounting appliances to a handgun. The M&P’s teeth in that area snags when I draw. I realize S&W’s move towards this polymer platform after seeing Glock secure a large portion of the market share they once had, but I miss the steel and aluminum DA/SA products.
I own a Model 19: the only Glock that I own. I shoot one round through it every 2-3 months to check functionality. I sawed-off that insipid hooked trigger guard. Mine is 1st-generation it doesn’t have those stupid rails up front on the frame. I thought about having the grip liposuction done but why waste my money on that when the gun just sits in my BOB.
Pass on both.

I wouldn’t want a rail on my nice steel guns, but they don’t bother me on my plastics. I don’t use the rail and I’ve never had a problem with them interfering with my draw.
I shoot my pastor’s G19 and my friend’s M&P9 equally well, but I prefer the M&P’s feel. If I owned both and shot the Glock better, I’m not sure which one I’d keep. I just won’t practice with a gun that I don’t enjoy shooting.

And I get tremendous enjoyment out of shooting ragged holes in targets.
Glock wins in my book. Just have a good retention holster. I have abused my glocks like nobody’s biz and they are flawless.
