- Testing out my Gen 1 S&W M&P 40 against my SD40VE against my Glock 23
Trigger pull, grip feel, accuracy, and reliability all shooting the same PMC bronze 165 grain flat nose ammo.
A tip on transitioning to a Glock from other handguns. When I go to grip a Glock I use my thumb to guide onto to the grip rather than my trigger finger. This rotates my grip slightly to the trigger finger side. This fills the gaps in backstrap contact which reduces felt recoil and decreases recovery time. More importantly it makes the first shot stop going high left (for me) and makes target reindexing after each shot natural.
Doing this in a nonfire practice I find the sights are perfectly aligned when the sights come into focus. Your first shot is gone long before your eyes focus in both competion and real world scenarios (according to interviews with survivors).
Caliber choice is easy. Find something reliable, you shoot well in a size and weight yiu really will carry. Now read what it says on the slide.
I will try the technique when unholstering and see if it helps.
I wholeheartedly agree with you theory on what to carry- “program compliance” (as Paul Harrell calls it) or a actually always carrying a gun, and being able to accurately shoot it are far more important than the caliber that people tell you to carry
M&Ps are better than Glocks in general. At least in my view. Thanks for the video
@@CarolinaRimfire I really like them. A lot more than my model 23 at least… I want a 22 so I can get a 9mm barrel and shoot it with Glock 17 mags- 2 for 1
@@crankygunreviews I am a Glock guy, so I have the Glock 22, 23, 27, and 35 in the .40 S&W flavor. Honestly, I like the G23 least of all. It is still a good pistol, but I actually like the smaller G27 more than the G23.
G23 has been good for me except these random failures to extract
I own both the Glock 22 and the M&P 40 2.0. The M&P, for me, is a better firearm in terms of accuracy and controllability. I have had no problems with reliability with either one using multiple types of ammunition.
@@kennethbrooks4425 the M&P feels more natural to me
Glock perfection? (I actually own a $1300 Glock 45). I ran into a dude that said "M & P's have Glock reliability" LOL. He failed to understand that M & P's have Smith & Wesson reliability. LOL
@@marodriguezsr 🤣🤣🤣
Is your extractor spring weak? Good comparison, some people don't like the 40 . Looks like you shot the m&p better
6:10 Yes, that is a Gen 2 Glock 23, so it is at about 30 years old, if not older. I wouldn't be surprised if the extractor it the extractor spring has been warn out, which could be the cause of the failures to extract.
@@grahamohea2424 yeah may need a few parts
And the gen 5 Glock 23 shoots way better than
Can easily be mag/spring or pearce grip extension.
Label problematic mags to be sure.
@@TakeAWalkJagoff.38Special don’t think it was the mag
I wish you had a PT840 there to compare, as that would be my pick in that size and price range. My gen 4 G35 was my favorite, but that's not the same size or price as what you have on the table there...
@@BuckeyeBallistics yeah, can’t get my hands on a PT840. The M&P 40 is really good. Awesome trigger, good grip, good size, low recoil, and very reliable (so far)
i like my m&p 10mm.
Yeah, I’m not getting into 10mm- I have too many calibers as it is
Glocks are garbage thats why
@@timjohnson8390 🤣🤣 but perfection!
Gotta say I’ve never had a problem with all the Glocks I own/owned. Been about 7 of em I think. Still have two but they have always worked for me.. even when pretty dirty/wet/snow. I can’t shoot ‘em as good as some others but I damn sure wouldn’t call em garbage.
I actually really like the SR9c and SR9 .. what was Ruger thinking discontinuing them?
@@guaporeturns9472 Ruger made the security 9 which is less expensive than the SR9 and SR9C…
I put a new recoil spring in my Glock when I got it because it was used, maybe it’s a little too stiff or not taken in enough yet… not sure
@@crankygunreviews Yeah I know why , it was kinda a rhetorical question… to me the SR9 and SR9c are a much better pistol.
It’s all about profit… pure capitalism.
Then you have S&W coming back out with metal frame semi’s on modern form, and they’re not too expensive either…
I will say the Security pistols Ruger makes feel a little cheap, but they’re so reliable and feel good when shooting them
