I have been a Glock person for over 25 years. I own several Glocks and love them. Is there anything special about the S&W M&P line that could convince me to buy M&Ps primarily in 9mm and .45 ACP. Pretend you're a S&W salesperson and SELL me!
Convince me to sell my Glocks and buy M&Ps to replace them

If you don't know why then I suggest you don't buy a S&W. Like they say it is better to rent a gun and see if you will like it. I believe a bird in hand beats a bird in the bush anytime.
I agree. Shoot one and see how you like it. I prefer the Shield grip angle over the Glock. It’s a personal preference.
Gunfather , I don’t know what to do.
Smith & Wesson makes this gun the M&P 2.0 and I don’t know what to do.
Should I buy it? I mean I really love my Glock’s. I...I... just don’t know what to do.

I have a few Glocks and appreciate them for what they are, but not a huge fan of plastic guns and would never own any plastic offerings from S&W or any other manufacture. I am sure they all work, I just don't care for striker-fired handgun triggers, their aesthetics or feel.

The 2.0...in my opinion...has a better trigger out of the box, better ergos for my hands, and the option of a safety if you want one (I do.)
But like the other members said, "Try one first, then decide."
That said I only own three striker-fired pistols: 5" M&P 2.0 with apex trigger (sort of gilding the lily) and a Walther PPQ.
I typically carry either a Smith 4513TSW, CS9, or Beretta PX4 Compact. (With a S&W 1911SCe, Sig 245, Smith 642, or Beretta PX4 sc in reserve.)

It's not an either/or thing. You can own both. Don't worry, they won't infect each other in the gun safe. If you're curious about S&W, buy one and try it. Form your own opinion.

M&Ps are nicer looking.
There, solved it for you.
You're welcome!

I will definitely keep both. I can't imagine being Glockless! Not going to happen. I'm thinking of picking up a M&P 2.0 9mm. The price is right on Buds. From what I can gather they have the strength and reliability of a Glock and they take down like a Sig. I like that.

You know, you're right, it's not either/or. I will own both. I can afford to not sell one gun to get another. It's not like there will be a battle in my safe between rival guns! LOL!
To me it would make no sense to switch to M&P's since already love Glocks. I much prefer Glocks, but it's just what feels comfortable to me.
I own a couple Glocks, an XDMc, a Shield and a few other pistols.
The only M&P I like is the Shield.
As many have mentioned already, don't make a decision based on what strangers on a forum write. See how they feel (to shoot) in YOUR hands. If you end up liking the the M&Ps better, THEN switch (or better yet... Add) an M&P to your group.

I agree. Life is short. Own both!
Better ergonomics on the S&W and a more aggressive grip. That said, when cockroaches rule the earth, they'll carry Glocks.
I can't write a reason to buy M&P's over Glocks ( never had one in my hand), especially when I am a revolver type guy. BUT, having said that I own 1 Glock 36 in 45 acp. Besides my Browning Hi Power it is the only semi auto I own, that i have complete confidence in. Never a fail to feed, or a stove pipe like Colts are known for. It just works

Man (or Woman) should choose their own gun(s)!!!!
Advice is fine but only you can decide what is "right" for you!
Often wondered why my Dad carried the same 3 guns for the best part of his 39 years as a Police officer ..... Patrolman to Captain... 1938-77. A 6"Colt New Service .357 magnum worked over by Kings, a 1946 4" M&P he got when he got back from the South Pacific and a 1950s 2" Colt Detective Special. After retiring he had me get him a S&W 640 like mine. Those guns were all he needed and he was on the Dept Pistol Team for about 15 years.
I started buying guns in the mid-70s; got my concealed carry licence 42 years ago. After 'shopping around" for about 10 years I settled on a handful of carry guns....a S&W 3913 for every day carry since 1990; a "high cap" 9mm PC-shorty nine (94) and a 3" Model 66 (1988) for carrying in Penn's Woods. These three have served me well for over 30 years now.....
Got others from Sig, Beretta, CZ, Walther and S&W................even tried 3 or 4 Glocks back in the 90s. There are times I'll opt for a Beretta Compact/Centurion on Smith 915 when I want a few more rounds in a gun...
But; now I understand my Dad choices better; and for me I see no reason to change my everyday (98%) carry guns........ "newer" is just newer.... doesn't mean they're better......" for me" !!!!
25 years with Glocks.... should tell you something!
Good luck!
