Glock guy purchases M&P9 FS.

[Freedom's Teeth]

Bought an M&P9 last week. The feel of the weapon is phenomenal and it is sized between the Glock 17 and Glock 19. That says a lot considering you can fit 18 rounds into the platform.

I do not intend to baby this pistol. I will keep you posted as to how it performs.

I'm bettin' you'll be happy. And... there is no shame, lots of old Glock guys around here.

I'm curious to ask since you are a new convert. What are your feelings about the trigger between the Glocks you have had and your new M&P and the ease of shooting?

have not shot it yet-----will give full report ASAP

You will love it. Supposedly S&W spent a ton of money on ergonomics research unlike Glock that used a 2x4 for the prototype mold =P

Ergos - Better

Trigger - Not sure yet

Prefer spending my money on goods made by American companies.

S&W trigger can be cleaned up (Apex) to feel as good as a cleaned up Glock trigger. It is the ergonomics that makes the M&P a winner hands down...... just my opinion.

I think an apex trigger in an m&p is way better than a glock... But I haven't messed with any glocks that are tuned to a high degree, just polished up for smooth feel and a clean 5.5lb break.

I like the trigger on my 19, but my apex trigger beats it. I did polish up the trigger bar in addition to adding the kit.

Another vote for the Apex upgrades. I installed the Apex FSS and trigger kit in my M&P and it is schweeeet! Smooth, short reset, and 4.5 lb trigger pull.

I got away from Glocks about 3 years ago. Traded my G19 for an M&P 9fs and added an Apex FSS. Loved it so much I picked up a FDE 45fs and did the FSS treatment to it as well. But the entire time I always wanted to get another G19. Saw one on Armslist a couple of weeks ago, and picked it up. It's just one of those guns that needs to be in the collection.

In my opinion the new production M&P's with just a polished striker block are equal to, if not better than a Glock factory trigger.

It's either a 10 minute job, or a $30 part. I find that most of the grit is eliminated with a smoothed Striker Block.

My wife carries the M&P9c & loves it, I the penny pincher went with the SD9ve for $200 less & I am happy with it.
I have shot the M&P9fs & G19 side by side at the range.
The Glock is a good gun & I could learn to like it, but the next gun I get will be an M&P F S not sure yet if it will be in 9mm.

We also have a 1911 45 acp 3 1/2 lb. trigger pull & all you have to do is think about the reset & it is there. The only thing I don't like about it is feeding it.
That said it is a range & every now and then a competition gun.
Neither of us would carry or use it for primary self defense.

In my carry & self defense pistols I want a stiffer & some what long trigger, double taping in a stressful situation is not a good idea.
