Mp 9MM FS vs G19..

[Guest Fwdftw]

Must say ive owned my glock 19 for almost 2 years now and have put well over 6000 rounds through it. And i recently picked up a used Smith MP 9MM Full Size and absolutley must say its a excellent pistol. Here is my 1st mag at 7 yards.. with 1 aimed at the upper 7

The glock was shot ok.. but must say felt recoil and even the STOCK trigger was OK. Hard to fell the reset on the MP but ofc the glock is like a rock and can definatly feel the reset and a tad more recoil. Must say this ones gonna go to the MP. With that said i HIGHLY doubt ill ever sell my g19.. that gun is just the ****. end story lol haha Think a MP 9c is the future and some stippling to the MP.

BubbaTN let me shoot his M&P 9c and I really liked it. It felt like a Glock with better ergo's. I still prefer my Glock19 but it the M&P is one I wouldn't mind having someday

[Guest Fwdftw]

I originally bought the MP 9c. And then sold and purchased my g19 for CCW.. And have been yearning for a fullsize since.. I really loved and could shoot the 9c GOOD like a ragged hole but couldnt get over no pinky space lol ( i have large hands) lol so sold and got the g19. I think i can get over the pinky thing now.

I just can't get my head past S&W = revolver. Never have warmed up to a Smith auto...

ahhh come on harp. Have you shot an M&P?

[Kenstaroni]

I've heard nothing but good things about the M&P's. I won't trade my G19 for one, but I will likely get a M&P to sit along side it in the safe someday.

[Guest Fwdftw]

You wont be dissapointed kenstaroni

[Kenstaroni]

I agree. I think in a few ways the M&P is a better gun, aside from the trigger which needs some help but is an easy fix....The G19 is just one of those pistols I'll likely never sell. Nothing like a 33 round mag of 9mm to cheer up your day...lol

[Steelharp]

ahhh come on harp. Have you shot an M&P?

Only dry fired. Hated the trigger. No matter what I flirt with for a while, I just keep coming back to my Glock. It just fits me.

[Guest Fwdftw]

Couldnt agree more Hows about 2 im on the left

[Links2k]

Gotta have both.

[Steelharp]

Gotta have both.

Why? I mean, for me, why would I want to have something I really like, and something I really don't care for?

If you like both, then my logic doesn't apply.

Yeah I tend to agree with this. These are combat style guns, each serving the same purpose. I prefer to keep one system with holsters and systematic similarity. I find no real use it having both. I can find other things to spend my money on that serve different purposes. Most will find that they like one more than the other. Pick the one you like most and pick up the various szes which wil work for you and use that.

[Guest Fwdftw]

Idk it would take some hard thinkin to let the flock go but idk!

[Guest Guy N. Cognito]

Tried a M&P. It was accurate enough and completely reliable, but I hated the trigger. Too mushy for my taste and zero discernible reset. I just couldn't shoot it as quickly as my G19.

[Mike]

I have both. I've sold two of my M&P's but I kept buying another. So it's here to stay.

Both are great pistols and both have their strong points.

Mike didn't you get the message. They are both combat style pistols that serve the same purpose so you shouldn't have both of them. I guess that we are rebels for owning a M&P 9 and a g19. Against the grain kind of guys.

Your logic does not apply to me. Sorry for being overly excited about two pistols that I like alot.

I have owned a Smith auto since the '70's. It still runs well, and can't recall any malfunctions. I also have a 3rd generation Smith auto. Finally, I have an M&P that's in pieces right now getting some APEX parts. Point is, they're not exactly newcomers, and have always worked well enough for LE service. Granted, I thought I was "giving them a chance" when i bought my 59 because it has Patents Pending stamped in the slide.

I've never owned a revolver other than S&W, and I agree with you there. I've just come to have some faith in their autos after all these years too.

It's all just opinion and I am sure you have a right to buy what you wish. If you are into multiple types of combat style pistols, then by all means. I don't think he was, and I certainly wasn't , trying to suggest you are wrong. I just don't at this point, and I guess he doesn't either see a lot of sense in buying multiple platforms, or tools, for the same exact purpose. Me I am a systems guy. I carry basically one type of gun. Mainly the Glock, but even my P7M8 and my 19111's I have owned all have basically the same trigger.

If I wanted to buy a whole new set of holsters and such I might buy an M&P, but even though I like them I don't have a use for them I'd rather stick to what I know and what I have holsters for already and make sure I am the best I can be with those. When I carry those I carry them in the same basic places and don't use hugely different platforms. In other words I don't carry one day on my belt and another day in my pocket. I don't carry semi-autos one day and revolvers another.

Then again some people are very in combat or tactical pistols. I only see them as tools and also have my other interests, such as sporting clays, hunting and vintage shotguns. I don't have the money do have everything I want in all of those categories. Enjoy the discipline you like and buy whatever peaks your interest.

[mikegideon]

Both are real competent guns. I picked the M&P, but the choice wasn't easy. If i would have walked out with the g19, I'm sure i would be just as happy with my choice. I'm trying to figure out how to like either one as much as my CZ P01

Hey, don't apologize. That's great for you!

[Guest kdud03]

..... Me I am a systems guy. I carry basically one type of gun. Mainly the Glock, but even my P7M8 and my 19111's I have owned all have basically the same trigger.

may i ask how the glock an 1911's you speak of have the same trigger?

[Guest cheez]

Only dry fired. Hated the trigger. No matter what I flirt with for a while, I just keep coming back to my Glock. It just fits me.

And that Glock will still be rockin when the sweet little M & P is toast.

Yep, 'cause Smith and Wesson is just now learning how to make guns
