I'm probably the only guy on here who owns an M&P compact before owning a Glock. I always hear and read so may good things about Glocks. So, last night I decide trade in my Sig 226 for a Glock 26. The Sig was my first gun, A very fine firearm, but frankly I have grown very fond of the polymere and the Sig to me is just boring. I Love my 40c, Its got some pizaz! I like a little kick back, makes it fun to shoot. After all my primary concern is owning a gun thats fun to shoot and that I can carry comfortably for self defense. So after much debate i traded in my Sig and bought the Glock. Now, I have never shot a Glock before. I wont be able to until the end of the week when I get a chance to go to the range. But so far my intial impressions are these: I came home and compared the two very closely aesthetic wise, since I havent shot it yet.
The Glock 26 and 40c are almost identiacl in size and shape.
Personally I like the way th M&P feels in my hand, much more natural.
I like the Glock gripping texture better.
The M&P seems to have a better line of sight and like the sights better.
I like the Glock trigger gaurd with groves across the front, looks very agressive.
I like the M&P metal magazine
Overall the M&P is a bit sexier.
They both field strip almost the same, no advantage here.
Glock has a great name and I like owning one.
Smith & Wesson has a great name and I like owning one. Made in the USA is a plus.
Glock has proven reliability, the M&P is still new.
These are my intial impressions and I will report back once I fire the G26 and give my feelings and comparisons.
