Default M&P45c or M&P9c

I'm looking for a new carry gun. I prefer the size of the 45c because I'm assuming I can get a more comfortable grip on it. Does anyone have a 45c with pictures comparing it with a glock 19 or a M&P FS 9mm?

I know how a 9c feels like bc I used to own a 40c.

If you're trying to compare to the Glock 19 then look at the middle M&P 45 with the 4" barrel.

I should just look up the dimensions but just wanted visual confirmation. I would've thought the handle on the mid 45 would be longer than a glock 19 handle.

You're right. The handle of the mid is the sane as the full but instead of the 4.5" barrel of the full, the mid has a 4".
The Glock 19 is between the 45c and the 45 mid. I'd rather go one up than down. I wish I had a photo to show you.

As noted, the 45C has a shorter grip than the FS. My first M&P was a full size LE model which I sent away for a burwell trigger job. Excellent shooter but not what I consider a CCW. The 45C is noticeably smaller and quite manageable. I prefer the 45C simply because it's easier to carry. I also have a 9C which is definitely smaller than the 45C. This goes with me when I travel because it is smaller, carries 4 more rounds, and is a very accurate shooter.
