Scratched the Glock itch and moved on

Got the new M+P Compact today….to me the ergos are better than the Glock

Only have one Glock, a 43x.
As I have posted, not sure I’ll live long enough or shoot enough to ever like the Glock trigger.
But it’s as reliable and a backup or family pass down.
I’m gunning up, I ain’t gunning down!

The factory trigger on the new 2.0 Compact is really nice.....better than the factory trigger on the Glock. I don't have any plans to replace or mod the Compact trigger

Not a Glock fanboy but I've owned a few and still have a G23 and a G36 and have no argument with the aesthetic judgements. However....if I had to trust my life or protect my families to one semi auto in a do or die situation.....it would be a Glock. I just know it will work when I need it.

Cleaned and lubed the 2.0 Compact and made it to the range this morning. Bottom line is I fired a little over 100 rounds today of my reloads. 124 gr Extreme bullet with 4.2 grains Titegroup. Every round fed,fired and ejected perfectly....as if somebody already broke it in for me. I am impressed and have no regrets switching from the Glock 19 to the M+P 2.0 Compact

Did the trigger feel lighter and break quicker compared to the G19? It’s good to find a tool that fits and works for ya. Enjoy!

Got plenty of poly, Sig, S&W, Walther. Got some metal too, Ruger, RIA, Berretta.

No Glocks. Not a hater, just don't "fit" me. Have shot plenty. Every time I think I should have at least one, I rent one at the range and reaffirm my apathy towards them.

About 8 months ago I got the Glock itch. I never owned or shot one but started thinking about it and before long was at my LGS putting down cash. I bought a BNIB Glock 19 Gen 3.No mods...shot it bone stock and the gun did very well. Put about 600 rds thru it and it was 100% reliable and easy to make meaningful hits on a sillouette target every round a mortal wound.Sights I can see and a decent trigger what's not to like? In a word ergonomics. The slight forward angle of the grip and the girth of the grip just didn't work for me. So the Glock got sold. Yesterday I got a email flyer from the gun store telling me about a 2 day sale(today and tomorrow) with a M+P 2.0 Compact 9MM w/4" barrel on sale for $529. I also got both my tax return checks in the mail yesterday so you can guess what happened next. I was waiting when the store opened and this morning and now I have a M+P 2.0 Compact in Kalifornia DROS prison haha. The ergonomics of the M+P are great and I haven't had an opportunity to try the different backstraps to fine tune that. Grip texture is good no Talons or any of that needed. I snapped it once and the trigger is the best trigger I've felt on a striker fired gun.... no trigger mods needed here. It's gonna be a long ten day wait......Mike

I absolutely hated the standard Glock grip…
SCT Glock clone frame makes all the difference in the world. I now have 2. Assembled a 23 & 19.
Finding I carry them more than my shield but still have 3 full size M&P.
See how it goes ?
I still like the M&P ergonomics but the SCT frame has been winning out against the shield lately.

My son is a self-described Glock fanboi and a Glock Advanced Armorer. Over a few decades, he has probably owned every model Glock has made except an 18. And he always wanted me to try his new Glocks. Every. Danged. One.

I can shoot Glocks okay, but I don't like the way they feel. When it comes to the characteristics of the highly-regarded Glock 19, mine is an M&P Compact. The M&P feels like it was made for my hand and it is nearly effortless to shoot. Everything is simply right about it.

One thing the M&P does not do is use Glock magazines. OTOH, my favorite PCC does use Glock magazines and I wanted a companion pistol that would share the many magazines I had for the PCC. A Palmetto State Armory full-size Dagger, which corrected what I did not like about Glocks, was my solution. My son recently got an RXM and it may also become a PCC companion now that MagPul is making a full-size grip module.
