I used to like XD (see screen name) then I tried Glocks. But in the end I settled on M&Ps both FS and Compact. They just feel better and I shoot better with them. Find someone who lives nearby you and see if they will let you try them out. Good Luck

Smith and wesson M&P compact 9mm

The 9c is a great carry gun. I've also taken a 500 round/day class with it and I competed in a compact pistol match with it today. It does everything I ask it.

I know someone selling one (an M&P) if you're interested. PM me and I'll get you the details.

Can't comment as to long term durability and reliability as I don't own one.

I am a Glock guy.. it was my M&P that Paul and I were shooting.. its got a good feel in the hand, extremely accurate and easy to control.

I heard it will wear faster than a Glock, but overall it is a very nice gun.



Can you tell me the difference in recoil between say a glock 26 and the M&PC both 9mm? Is one less than the other one?

I have not shot the glock 26, I have shot the 27 which is a 40 cal.

At instructor school, I was shooting my Glock 19, which is slightly larger that the M&P 9c. Then I broke out the M&P cause some other officers wanted to shoot it. I fired several rounds out of it and was suprised to find that the recoil management on the M&P was a little better than my Glock 19.

Hope that helps.

I've carried the G26, XD9sc and the M&P9c.
I preferred the M&P9c, but all were nice. All of them would blow the center out of the target
and I'm not that good. The M&P has the best finish and looks and it's U.S. made.

Recoil on all of them was minor.

I'm a certified Glock lover. But I just recently tried an M&P in 9mm. I liked it.
I love it when a plan comes together!

I prefer the XD over the M&P.....just fits and points better...

Because of your vast experience with either? Hard to go wrong with the Smith shoot softer than the glock and have a lower bore axis than the XD.
