I like the M&P9 and M&P9c but I sell more Glock 19's. I sell more Shields than any other pistol (well unless we start counting AR pistols). Usually an M&P will be cheaper, and if it is not, you are shopping at the wrong place or you qualify for blue label guns...
I will say one thing I have observed. Guys that buy Glocks just come into the store and say I want the Glock XX, guys that buy M&P's usually try a few different pistols then pick one. That is just a small sample size over a short 3 months. I have only had one woman come in and say "I want that gun" and it was a purple Ruger she had been looking for.
I figure they're virtually the same for my purposes, but I plan on getting a Shield a little bit later down the line. I've handled both and both felt good in my newbie hands. This gun will be my workhorse, I plan on putting a few thousand down range this year and doing a few training classes with it, truck gun, and eventually CC. I was leaning towards the Glock, but is there any reason to go with the M&P just because they're (9c and Shield) from the same line if they don't share mags or any other parts?
dont forget about the ruger sr9c, in my opinion, its better then the M&P and glock 19
Oh my...dont forget about the ruger sr9c, in my opinion, its better then the M&P and glock 19
Oh my...
if it means anything to you i just bought a glock 19 this week, its my first 9mm, my first polymer gun and my first glock, i levied between the glock 19 and M&P for a while but im hapy i bought my glock, i dont think you can go wrong either way
as someone who does infact own a Ruger sr9c, and a glock 19, but not a M&P but i have shot a shield a number of times, i can honestly say my opinion is that the Ruger is more slim, has better sights, and a better trigger then both the glock and M&P
So... which is it? Or did you buy both, and determine which one was better based off of what, one trip to the range?
