Goodbye Glocks!

[Genthod]

I just bought my first M&P pistol (Shield) for the compact size and thin profile. After one trip to the range I'll say it is a nice pistol, it shoots accuately, and it functioned 100% (review in this forum).

Nice gun, but I doubt I'll be selling any of my GLOCKS over it. I guess I'm one of the "odd-balls" who likes the feel of a GLOCK grip.

To each his own I guess.

I am with you. I bought a 9 mm shield which I like, but would never sell my Gen 4 19 and 26. They are accurate and reliable and will go bang if I need to protect my family. The grip on the Gen 4's fits me. There will be more Glocks in my future and an M & P if they get the trigger of the Shield with the Glock like reset.
Bottom line, I like both!

The Market will never go away for Glock Pistols, but I bought my last Glock. I have a M&P9 and a M&P22 and plan to buy an M&P 40 and maybe a M&P45.

Luckily thanks to everything I felt and read I never bought a Glock. I never liked the way they feel, to blocky and wide. I never sell a gun, I don't want to regret it later. I love the way my M&P9 fs feels and shoots.

Congrats on your new find!

When I started working near the Mexican border in drug cartel land I went shopping for a new handgun cause let's face it, a Tec9 won't fit in a holster!
First gun I picked up was a Glock and I could not get used to the grip not to mention I couldn't stand looking at it, tried a few others but once I picked up the M&P40 I knew that was it for me and after an Apex kit I absolutely love this gun!!

neorebel - nice choice!

The M&P45 is on my short list.

Having owned a Glock22 gen 3 and EDC a Glock26 gen 3 I bought a new Glock19 gen 4 last month. Owned 25 days, put about 250 rounds through it, and dry fired it over 400 times. Today it went bye, bye. I was tired of the erratic ejection, and disappointed that Glock did not slim the grip even with the addition of the 2 additional back straps.

In its place I bought a new S&W M&P9 range kit, and only lost $50.00 on the deal. Basically I rented the Glock for 25 days at $2.00 a day. After getting home with the M&P I cleaned it, dry fired it about 50 times, and went the range and put 150 trouble free round through it. It is very accurate, and a pleasure to shoot. I shot it both strong hand and weak hand, and it felt great

Although the trigger reset is non existent compared to the Glock, I found it functional. Trigger pull felt better overall, and I found the gun actually surprising me when it went off, rather then anticipating it.

The range kit is sweet. 3 mags, double mag holder, and holster. Also included is the a Maglula UpLULA magazine loader. After using it, not sure how I have lived without one.

I am now in search of a M&P9c to replace my G26. I may even add a Shield to the mix sooner or later.

Goodbye Glocks !

I have never cared for polymer guns of any kind.
However , I felt i had to have one, so I bought a 9MM Pro
Until I put a Apex comp kit in it I really did not like the trigger.
Now that I have , its much better.
i also put their "RAM" kit in it it stands for "reset something"
I believe you former Glock guys would really like it as you can really feel the reset now.

If there is such a thing as an "ultimate pistol," you had it with your 1911s.

Don't get me wrong...if my MP9 FS would group like my 19's, I'd love it. I'm shooting center mass, but the spread is unsat. The trigger hasn't been an issue for me as I shoot from reset. I've only missed it once when I first got it, but I have it timed with no further issues. The break is clean and crisp...a little heavier than my Glocks, again not a big deal unless you have poor fundamentals. Just wish the POI was consistent with POA. I have yet to figure out where some of these crazy flyers come from. Someone posted in another thread that he noticed his barrel crown had a lot of chatter, and subsequently smoothed it out with good results. The MP9 drives like a cadillac, very soft, very comfortable...just wish it drove in a straight line out of the box. The 36 foot unsupported group I posted earlier is probably satisfactory for a defensive weapon, but when your consistently clover leafing with a Glock (with inferior ergonomics and similar trigger - stock) under the same conditions...something's not right...and it's not the shooter. FYI. I have six Glock 19's (2xGen4, 4xGen3) and they are all consistently accurate as described above.
