Thinking about a new gun.

[kowalzekc]

So I am thinking about getting a new carry peice, my current one is a Kimber Custom Carry 4". I must say, other then it is similar in weight to the loose brick on my fire place, I love it. What I am looking at getting is a Smith and Wesson M&P .40 compact. I have shot a sub-compact glock and loved it, and I am wondering how similar M&Ps shoot to a glock.

Thanks
Chris

Head up to Bill's. They sell/rent both models. You could do a side by side comparison.

The M&P won't be as similar to a Glock as a... wait for it... Glock. If you shot it and loved it, then get it. M&P is the new XD, which was the new Glock. Wait until after the next shot show. The next great plastic contender should be along by then.

So who did HK follow with there polymer frames?

Welcome to the forum Kowa

Is HK the new M&P? I might have missed a memo

I have a Kimber Ultra CDP II and it's a very nice carry piece. It shoots very accurately for a 3" and the local gunshop by me said that the Kimber was a better built piece than the M&P. In regards to what, I don't know. I know it's expensive, but isn't the M&P similar in price? Or am I thinking of another gun?

Welcome from Savage. The Glocks and M&P's are both excellent choices.
Don't pass up the XD's, especially with the 3 free mag promo going on from Springfield and the $50-70 better price.

Ahhh.... nobody! Remember the VP-70?

[Pezhead]

VP-70 I was thinking that too.

[gman1868]

Go to Bills, rent a couple at a time. find out which one points/feels better. Then buy one

And the P9, which was designed five years before the VP70, used an awful lot of polymer as well.

i was thinking about the usp hasn't that been around for a long time?

[kowalzekc]

The only reason I was thinking about getting the M&P over the glock is because the hand grips on the S&W feel better in my hand and I found a SCREAMING deal on one NIB! I just want to make sure the M&P is a good quality piece and not a good quality paper weight.

Then that's what you should git!

My buddy jest picked up a Ruger SR9c ... nice little gun ... might be werth a look, too.

Nothing wrong with the M&P. My wife shoots it better than a Glock. I like it too.
