Smith & Wesson M&P

[crispy]

I've owned both and perfer the Glock. I had issues with my M&P9 and S&W failed to correct them when I sent the gun back to them, they claimed there was nothing wrong (even though the gun was shooting a foot low at 5 yards). Sold the M&P and got a G17, couldn't be happier.

Hyperbole (

/haɪˈpɜrbəliː/ hy-pur-bə-lee;[1] Greek: ὑπερβολή, 'exaggeration') is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.

I just can't seem to hold the middle of a 3/4" dot at 15-yards with my M&P40 Pro Series. Should I send it back to S&W?

Was that Hyperbole or Sarcasm? I can never tell.

i dont like the mp trigger NO MATTER the type. i have installed dozens of apex sears for customers and test fired them subsequently, and i just plain dont care for the trigger.

a glock trigger in the M and P would be my dream gun.

in fact the apex makes the reset WORSE. i dont mind a heavier trigger pull for a more crisp reset.

I think that the response to your earlier post was about the Apex RAM upgrade more than about the Apex sear.

I have installed the Apex sear and RAM in all of my M&P's (even the two Pro's), and I think that the reset is as distinct as it needs to be. My old Glocks might have been slightly more audible, but the RAM upgrade makes resets more than distinct enough for a majority of "reset" shooters. I still find that most shooters don't care care about resets at all... Many don't even know what a reset is or does.

HMMM i dont think have have installed, or even put my hands on this socalled RAM kit???

either way, i am not most shooters, and trigger reset is a KEY to quick, and or accurate shooting. the more defined it is, the better IMHO.

to me trigger reset is a more important feature on a handgun than a light trigger pull (within reason)

 

[Plinkuh]

Let's be clear about this. Ergonomically is where you'll find the biggest difference between the two.

I'll grant you that both are reliable, both are accurate, both are durable, yadda yadda yadda.

But the grip angle and how they point are completely different. MOST people generally prefer the ergos of one over the other.

So it may be a "toss-up" as to which you prefer, but it is not a toss-up in the sense that they are the same.

No, I meant in terms of what's best for you. A toss-up meaning one isn't better than the other...

I too am a reset shooter, and that is why I was giddy about the RAM upgrade when it came to market. The reset was the only thing I missed about my old Glocks.

If you get a chance, you really should try an M&P with a RAM kit... I think you would be amazed. Bang, click, bang, click...

I'm with Rob Leatham on how important reset is. (From 2:30 on)

INDYGUNWORKS Install a apex RAM the reset is 10 times better. I think both pistols are great but because to grip and other ergonomics i choose the M&P, but the glock is a great weapon as well

 

[FN USA]

If I were to start all over again and pick between those two, well I would have to go with the smith and wesson.

 

[darthfader]

BTW, for all of those that say the trigger on the Glock is better than the M&P out of the box, let's be sure we're comparing the M&P Pro to the Glock. The Pro is about the same cost as a Glock. The standard M&P is cheaper.

the trigger on the m&p pro is better than the trigger on the glock. i own the pro 9 and a g19 gen3. both shoot well but i like the ergo on the m&p better.

 

[IndyGunworks]

the trigger on the m&p pro is better than the trigger on the glock.

that is very VERY debatable

 

[Clay]

Yes, for me the M&P is better. With or with out apex parts. YMMV.

 

[Tango]

YES, my goodness, YES!

 

[JohnP82]

Does anyone think the S&W M&P is better than Glock?

Me personally...hell no!!!!

Everyone is different, go with what feels best to you.

 

[Deet]

I have shot both and both were ok. I like the M&P a little better mainly because the mag release can be switched for a left hand shooter. Both would work in a pinch, and both have very loyal followers, but I still like my Kahr way more than either of these two guns.

 

[lovemachine]

1911 is better than both of them anyway.






Hey, somebody else would have said it

 

[Taylorz71]

I agree that both are great guns, and that you need to pick the one that fits the best. The Glock fits my hand a little better I think and aim is more natural. I didn't think that I liked Glocks until I shot a friend of mines and then I was sold. So if you have a chance to shoot them that would be even better.

 

[jgreiner]

Does anyone think the S&W M&P is better than Glock?

For me it is, simply because the ergonomics are far better for a big fella with big hands and that is a southpaw. Would i own a Glock? Sure, if I found one that fit my hand as well as my MP.

 

[jgreiner]

Not in my book. I shot both. Hands down, the MP Pro trigger was far better. The standard MP trigger......worse than the Glock.
