Like anything else have had issues with Glock magazines in the past, have a lot of early Glock 17 mags which after a while would fail to keep the slide open on the last round. Prefer all steel magazines which you shouldn't use in Glocks.
So here’s a true story about the M&P 9mm 1.0’s…. My employer (10,000+ sworn) had the 1.0’s replaced our previous duty pistols from another manufacturer after a long and successful time period. Well after about 4-5 years with our “new” M&P 1.0’s, we were experiencing greater occurrences of nothing but reliability issues with it. So my employer told S&W to either take back and replace ALL of our pistols with something that’s more reliable, or the agency would drop S&W all together and switch to another brand. Fortunately for S&W, they recalled ALL of our 1.0 9mm’s and replaced every single gun with brand new 2.0 9mm’s. I’m glad to see S&W rectified the issue and they did it quickly and quietly because they didn’t want any negative press, especially coming from such a large government agency. I’m guessing it would have been too embarrassing and it probably would have hurt their future sales of the 2.0 as well. Personally I couldn’t stand the 1.0’s fit, feel and function. I also didn’t like the instances my employer had record of when the trigger was pulled and the gun didn’t go (((BANG))). But the 2.0 M&P has been nothing but a great performer for us and without reliability issues.😂
The M&P 2.0 is superior than the 1.0. ….in 9mm. However trying to find M&P magazines without breaking the bank is more difficult and more expensive than Glock magazines of any caliber. The Gen5 Glock 22 and 23 have ambi slide locks and the slides are thicker than older Glock 40cal generations. The Gen5’s are really neat and robust guns. Also , Glocks with a simple glance at the extractor, gives you a visual que on whether the gun has a round in the chamber. The take-down lever on the M&P is ridiculously stupid and unnecessary. I know why S&W made that, but it’s really a few extra parts that just adds to the overly complex mechanism of the pistol. It’s more needless parts that can break at the wrong time. When reassembling the M&P, one does NOT need to push the lever back up as stated in the video. Simply insert a magazine into the gun and the lever moves back up automatically.
Been a Glock on since 1994 M&P has more metal and better economics than the Glock especially the 2.0, M&P also stainless not so with the Glock. Seen frame rail snap off on Glocks pistols, personally don't like the 40 S&W cartridge have seen it ruin more pistols than any other caliber. If you can't make up your mind? Buy both pistols if you can?
The Glock magazine is steel lined polymer coated. The best OEM magazines to me.

Just buy new G17 mags they go for only $25. I've had my Glock19 since 09 & never had any issues with the mags.

Smith and Wesson all day
Just bought a G22. Unfortunately here in CA the m&p is not available. I now own 3 Glocks. You can't go wrong with glocks.
Hopefully that changes some day, and you guys can have what half the country can have including suppressors.
My advice for the 1.0 M&P plastic magazine release is switch them with the 2.0 metal magazine release. Great video.
Glock22 all day every day for me.

All those Glock .40 issues have been sorted out over a decade ago.
Glock now uses hardened steel slide rails. No other handgun maker uses hardened steel.
