- Two similar carry guns from totally different companies are compared. I get quite a few requests to compare these two popular firearms, side-by-side. Well, here's my take. You know I'm biased, but I try to give you a somewhat objective comparison. Just factor in my Glock bias. :-)

I'm going to have to stop watching your video's my wife say you're a bad influence I have purchased like 56 guns. lol I already have owned the Glock 27 then I went out and purchased the Smith & Wesson Compact 40 after watching this video you make the perfect salesman
John Doe
😂😂😅 same
Which do you prefer then?
Only a presenter like Hickok45 can get me to watch a man measure weapon parts in the forest for 32 minutes.
Ain't that the truth.
Dude I just did this because my buddy was debating between these two guns. So I looked up a "vs" video, this popped up, and I watched the whole damn thing.
@ Ancaporado LOL i know this is 5 years old, but I have to say i totally agree with you.
Him and nutnfancy
😂
I'd take the S&W anyday. Glocks aren't the only gun on the market.....just sayin....lol
Agree 100%
Ive got both sdve 40 light primer strikes swapped it out doin great have Glocks older than me I'm 28 and original oem parts shoot fine never had a problem I think both are great I will say the new shields do give a Glock a run for there money considering smith and Wesson improvements on trigger fuckin nice I will say but Glocks do hold up to they're name I will say so does smith and Wesson both great fun nowa days
@@mikecamacho6968 sdve is 1 1/2 steps better than a Hipoint... easy with your "experienced opinions" 🤣🤣🤣
Facts I have 40 shield 🛡️ over 20k without a malfunction
My experience with other guns tells me none of them are any better than Glocks. All a matter of opinion, I guess. :-)
hickok45 i'm a Glock fan i've many types of pistols for about 6 years. I have two Glocks. The 20 model and the 27 model.
I agree, glock rules.
Every super gun guy and competition person I know prefers glock. Lol
@Frank Bonazza III well go watch hk videos
I shoot glocks better. I love them all but shoot them better🤷🏻♂️
First handgun I ever shot was my dad's Glock 23 .40 cal. I loved it but I now carry the S&W M&P 40c as my EDC and love it. I've put 5k+ rounds downrange and never had a misfire, stovepipe, failure to feed etc.
@boltjet135 , 9mm is about .36 caliber; .40 is about .40 caliber. Caliber refers to the diameter of the bore.
I enjoyed my Glock since the day I first got it. (G23). I got it new in 1995. in 2010 I wanted a concealed carry pistol and looked into a Glock. I came across the M&P line. After shooting and reviewing and holding and shooting. Sorry Glock. It feels like I am cheating on you. But, This girl is HOT!!!! From the looks and feel of it. I am hooked. I retired my Glock.
😭great story
I've owned both guns. I liked the M&P 40c. I love the Glock 27!
I will stay with the M&P, great review thanks !
Do u still have it
Glock better
@chrisjbrunson , That's right. Thanks.
Thanks for the very informative videos. Just bought a S&W M&P 40C. Looking forward to shooting it. Much better than the M9 that I fired for many years during my MP days.
Please revisit the 40cal Glock. Just got my carry permit and was considering the 45 (g30) but when I was at Walmart and saw that 40cal ammo was cheaper than ammo for my 380 I was amazed. We know that ammo prices will rise and fall upon demand (but it's a shame we can't find 22 LR). An ammo price/which cal. your shooting cost concerns) effect is all. We all need a gun we can afford to practice with. Big fan, please keep em coming.
Hickok45, this is one of the best and most important reviews you have done.
A lot of people debate between these two guns for their edc.
As always, you bring great info to the table.
Thank you.
@Solareffects , Yeah, you don't want to leave one out on the deck; a good gust of wind can take it away. Amazing invention.
Hickok sir, if I may be so bold... I know this is an older video but I’m rewatching. I agree with you- the M&P has a “better” trigger, but I too shoot the Glock better.
I believe this is because of the “surprise” effect. Something a state trooper once taught me.
The M&P trigger is so nice that you know exactly when it is going to break and you “anticipate” (or flinch) the recoil. With the Glock, it’s just a little uncertain exactly when it’s going to go “bang” and this surprise effect eliminates your subconscious to anticipate the recoil. Hence- no flinch.
I find now that ironically, I’ll shoot much better with mushy triggers because I cannot pinpoint the exact moment they will go bang. And no matter how hard I practice not to flinch, I think even the best in the world still find themselves doing it once in a while.
Thanks for all the awesome vids!
M&P, Glock & XD are good pistols but, I like the XD and M&P better cause it feels nicer in my hands.
My Glock 22 40 magazine holds 15, and it fits in my 27,,,,,,,,,,,,?
Hickok, Thank you and John for your time and effort in providing us with insightful and funny at times videos, Great job!!
One thing you didn't mention is the sights - the Smith's steel sights definitely superior to the Glock's plastic ones. Also a bit better sight radius on the Smith, and the looks are no comparison - Smith hands down. Yeah, I'm biased just like you are, but love all your vids.
S&W has been around a long time. They must know what the hell is comin' off.
Yes, the MP40C has the better sights out of the box...
agreed
I do agree also, I have owned both and my only gripe with the m&p sights is the front sight on my 40c is a dirt collector because of it being a recessed hole vs the glock front sight post. Every now and then I use a qtip to clean it out from every day carry and it can be a pain.
Philip Beal I know the M&Ps are good guns but they are butt ugly to me, while the Glocks are dead sexy. I like the Glock sights too.
Different strokes.
Dont know what it is but i could listen to hickok45 all day long....and never get bored. Thanks Hickok keep the reviews coming.
Excellent T&E work in this vid Hickok!
Side by side, step by step.
Very well put together..Thanks,I learned a .lot.
Just picked up an M&P 40c last week, loving it so far!
I just want to say thank you. Your videos are very informative and are great to watch.
Thank you for this comparison video. I was having some doubts in my 27 and now I think I'm just going to stick with what I have. I would love to come shoot with you on that awesome range sometime but I am sure I would get schooled over and over and over. Great shooting keep it up
@jomomma193, Yeah, those full size pistols have a way of not being around when needed.
I love the M&P series.
These are my top 2 picks for CC and I appreciate the help... I think I'm going to have to test both for my final decision. Since you elaborate on the differences so well you leave the true choice up to personal preference. This video was great and I'm always learning from your videos, thanks a lot!
Thanks Hickok, I really do appreciates you taking the time, like I said i have been enjoying your videos.
Good review bud ! I like the explanation of likes an dislikes . Thanx
Love my M&P 40c . Standard full size M&P magazines fit it as well. Haven't had any issues after firing it several times. Fits perfectly for any hand size and feels great overall. Perfect for EDC and home defense.
Thanks for posting this. I've got a 40c on the way. Glad you mentioned the reset there at the end. I've heard quite a bit about that. We'll see.
Thank You! You have helped me make several decisions on the guns I want to pay money for. After 2 yrs of watching your videos, You are definitely an accomplished shooter. Keep up the Fantastic work!! Regards
thanks for all the great reviews!
you have helped me with so much information hickok! your are the best gun channel on youtube...
How does anyone dislike a Hickok video. I just love this guy!
Great video once again Hickok. I like the comparison videos. Still stick with my G30 through it all
I use to not like Glocks and purchased a S&W Shield. I did not like the S&W Shield and could not shoot it very well. I traded for a Glock 27 and like it,and can shoot it more accurate. Do not asked why ,but the Glock just fits better in my hand and I hit better with it !
I love your vids Hickok.. best on TH-cam. I"m thinking about picking up a G27, and if I do, it will be the third gun purchase I've made based on your recommendations. I'm a relatively new shooter, and I've learned quite a bit from your channel. I thank you for that brother!
Those new camera angles are cool. Keep up the good work guys!
Thanks for all your videos Hickok. You do a fantastic job.
Nice video hickok45, thanks for your professionalism and competence !
Love the videos this comparison is amazing all the details were extremely informative love the videos man blessings to you and your family much love ❤
This is my favorite gun channel by far. Main reason? Just about every video is a CONTINUOUS >20 minutes. That is impressive, to flow so naturally through everything I could think to ask.
I was just thinking the other day..."I wish somebody would do a good video like this, comparing these two guns". I appreciate this video Hickok45 and I was glad to see even though you are a Glock man that you could remain objective and find goods and bads in both guns. I have been doing a lot of research on what pistol to buy and your videos have helped me as much as or more than anything. Keep up the good work!
great vid! From a S&W BG380 owner looking at a 40 this is gold! Just need to see how they feel in my short fingered hands. It really is amazing how fast you sight in the gong at 80 yards and nail it. Thanks from NY
I have enjoyed watching your shooting videos, I currently own two glocks, the 17Gen3 and also the 21Gen3, I enjoy taking both too the range. Thanks for all your info and Videos.
Thanks for this video! I'm deciding between a m&p compact or a SR9c. Think I'm getting the m&p. You always do a great job! keep up the good work!
Have you done a review of the M&P .45 compact, I love hearing your input,and especially when you miss targets and go "oooook" puts a smile on my face
Thanks for the excellent comparison of these two guns, @hickok45!!
I have watched many of your other videos on the pm9, lc9, pf9 etc, and I have been debating looking into the m&p 40c but 1 minute into your video I am sold. great shooting.
Just got my Glock 27 and was wondering about the slide resistance with a full mag. Was worried for a minute but glad to know it's common. Thanks hickok45!
@ThePress1000 , Yep. They work.
Absolutely love my M&P 40c, it fits my hand perfectly and lines up naturally on target for me. I found that when shooting the Glock model 27 it was less accurate for me when compared to my M&P 40c. This is exactly opposite of your experience but I believe the root cause is the same, it has to do with the grip angle! Smith & Wesson builds the M&P using the standard 1911angle of 18 degrees where Glock uses a 22 degree angle! Therefore that difference has to be overcome when shooting between these very fine guns.
I carry a Glock 27 and i absolutely love it! I can get 22 round magazines actually manufactured from Glock them selves to capacity isn't a problem! I have owned a M&P Shield 9 and I liked it a lot. I really like the trigger and grip of the Shield Plus 9mm. I would love to get a 40c because, I'm starting to like .40 a lot.
So my comments to Hick is I always mod my triggers. The 40c has a rail. The m&p will fit any full size magazine same as the Glocks. I own a few 33 rounds and drums for my Glocks and use em with my Sig ACP with Suppressor. But to me the G27 recoils more than the SW. I work in Fed LE and carry a Sig p229. But imho don't go by a video go and rent or demo one and try before you buy, its the golden rule. And my SW40 has a thumb safety. Just my LE habit as we use to carry HK's. ;)
Very informative vid. Much thanks.
As much as I love the dependability and ease of breakdown of the Glock, I love my S&W M&P Shield .40. No comparison in how it fits and feels in my hand while gripping, pulling from my Fobus paddle holster and firing.
Hey Hickok45, I love your reviews, they are absolutely amazing. I always go to you for my hand gun reviews. So let me say thank you first and foremost. I recently purchased a new smith and wesson mp40c, but I must ask, where did you go to find an extra mag for it? I cannot for the life of me find any online.
Its 2024, & M&P.40C has been my EDC with Alien Gear 1st gen IWB for about 15 years now & I absolutely ❤ it. Never know its there, extremely comfortable. I shoot 165gr JHP very accurate & comfortable to shoot. Recoil is minimal, people who complain about .40S&W recoil are the same people loading up 147gr +P 9mm ammo and sticking it in micro compact guns! (smh) has 10rd mag also accepts full size mags. Loved it so much I bought a full size and had it worked over by S&W performance center. I carry my EDC totally stock. With prosecutors being what they are and reading Massad Ayoob (? Spelling) in guns & ammo for years I prefer stock to carry for self defense and tuned for range day. These are Great guns!
I really enjoyed this video, keep it up!
This is the best comparison between the two major mini40's I have ever seen. Thank you for your effort on this video. I have much more knowledge for it.
Kudos to the silent cameraman! Great video work on the closeups!
Love my G27, I put +2 mag extensions on all my mags so I can carry 11 + 1. And the loader that is shown is fantastic, worth every penny of the $30 I paid for it.
Hey, do you do any mods to your trigger? Thanks for the vid!
I love your videos. I also love my M&P and they do in fact fit the full size .40 mags and some companies make grip expenders that fit the compacts, if someone is looking for more capacity at the range.
I'm a new pistol shooter with a S&W 9. Your videos have been very informative well done and have helped me. Thanks.
Ok, after watching your videos on the G27 I bought one. Took it to the range yesterday, I am pleasantly surprised at how it shoots! Hope I can carry this soon, as I live in Illinios the only state that still does not have a conceal carry law. May have to move across the river to Missouri. Thanks for your fun and informational videos.
I'm a Glock and S&W M&P owner. I love both, I gotta give them both credit. I'm better with the glock because i've shot it more, and I really do like the standard sights....again because i've trained with em. Had I shot the M&P more I'd be better with it. M&P's advantages are ergonomics (not as much now with glocks 4 gen), and to someone new, the trigger feel. Other than that, I'd say they're about the same, love em both. I'm bias to glocks though, I just do so well with them, and no problems.
John Doe your crazy haha
Nice video hickok always look forward to your views,Thanks
@jtmoney606 , I didn't know they were out yet for the Gen 4 guns.
I own both and it is like comparing apples to apples. The only real difference to me is aftermarket items. The Glock wins out. My EDC is my 27. But my wife prefers the S&W. She says that felt recoil is better on the S&W. Plus, as you stated, she can load the mags easier without using our loader. Which BTW, is the same one you use. Thanks again for the GREAT videos Sir.
Great video. Thanks for the info, think i still like the Glock also. Just almost crazy the way some people responded to the machine gun shoot video on Sunday! My son and i love the videos. Thanks.
love your videos hickok..I'm fairly new to the handgun scene and I have been shopping for a ccw handgun and I'm really leaning toward the G27. My other considerations are MP9c, Springfield xds9, and the G23. I have held all at the range and all feel good. Just want some expert opinion on which you think might be best suited for carry.
Keep the videos coming!!
Hey Hickok, Loved this video! I've shot both (in 9mm mind you), and I can/will say... I like the Glock better- both are awesome, and if the Glock wasn't available, I'd pick the M&P over anything else out there, but... I can't feel bad about the outcome- Glock wins in my book!! Thanks for you awesome comparision! Take care, Pete D.---
Best end note of any video I've ever seen. "When you can shoot this much, ya know Life Is Good". Great stuff this would have made me a fan if I wasn't already one.
He really is something else with that Glock. Great comparison video. Liked, commented and subscribed!
I appreciate your take on the Smith & Wesson 40, I just ordered one. I wanted a reliable and good quality gun. Thanks for your endorsement.
Excellent comparison! Just an FYI, not sure if someone mentioned it, or not, but the reason for frame weight difference is M&P uses a continuous steel insert for frame's slide rail & components, whereas Glock uses separated components. Not sure about Gen 4s but prior definitely has that for frame's parts. You can see details in pg 2 of their brochure I have to send via PM as comments are not allowing URLs. It's propaganda, but explains weight difference, more steel.
I like the tune your playing on the plates at the start ;-)
Of all the good things you say and great insight you give......the last words you say every time..........YOU ARE SOOOOO RIGHT.....LIFE IS GOOD! Thank You!
Damnit Hickok why did you upload a 32min video when I'm just about to finally go to sleep after reseaching guns online for the past 6 hours? It's 5:13am right now. Lol, thank you for your time and ammo to make these GREAT videos!!!
The way you so casually switched over to the gong... you make it look so easy. lol
Great shooting, thanks for the video!
I guess I am confused. I have an M&P .40 and I get 15 rounds into a magazine?
Thanks for this one! Quite Interesting!
great video by Hickok45,
In watching the video, most of the misses with the M&P, to me looks like it was hitting/shooting low, i wonder if the sights need some adjusting
hickok45 i have decided you have the best channel on youtube great vids man
How many pounds of lead ya think are buried out there? Love the videos verry informative, thanks hickock!
you have the best gun reviews on youtube period..... ive watched em all
I'm sure you have answered this questions many times already but where did you get the grips for these? I love the sandpaper/grip tape feel and could use some for my bodyguard and m&p. Thanks in advance and nice videos as always!
I don't think your camera man has ever got credit....but whoever ran the camera this day did an excellent job. Great review too. Thanks.
Great video Hickok! I found everything interesting about this video including the weighing of the frames and slides. These are two of my favorite poly pistols I have owned including other brands. For me they are neck and neck. Right not I am contemplating on going from an M&P 9c to a Glock 23 for more rounds and a slightly better 3 finger grip. I think the glock 23 offers a better 3 finger grip at possibly a slight reduction over the M&P with the extension.
Fantastic channel. Informative, comedic (“what’s this got to do with the price of eggs?”), & action packed. Your cameraman does a great job as well. Planned on a Glock 23 but found out Mass Law prohibits it; S.W. M&P .40c is only alternative. Thanks for helping us 'new shooters'.
@GOD719 , No, as long as it's crisp, I don't care about the weight.
I have the M&P .40 with a drop in 9mm barrel/mag/spring+rod. That gives you '2 guns' if you want to shoot both calibers. In 9mm, it's a breeze to shoot; .40 is a pretty hot round for most guys to handle.
Caution: Get the M&P .40 with night sights when you buy it, if in doubt. Aftermarket installation is difficult for a gunsmith because the stock sights are very tightly installed and hard to remove. Mine is utterly reliable and the grip stock shape adjustment is nice to have..
You have addressed it I'm sure, but any chance of getting a detailed video about your hold for long distance handgun shots?
@hicock45 been watching ur videos for awhile now and I have to say, love your videos and reviews. If I can ask for a request, can you please do a px4, glock, usp, & fnp side by side comparison? All in .40? I would appreciate to hear your take on the comparisons for each.
I just wish the cost of additional equipment for the M&P would start to come down. My experiences with the M&P's has been amazing...because of your reviews, I've also just picked up a Walther PPQ....excellent, EXCELLENT weapon! Thank you for your assitance!
That's a nice set of scales that you are using. Also good comparison too :)
Another great video by hickok45
The muscle memory in Bills hands and arms could write a thick novel
thank you sir for your videos. they have been very help full in deciding which gun to buy for me. I have heard that on the M&P 9 mm compact, one can use the mag from the full size 9 mm M&P to hold 17 rounds. I don't know for certan if this is true or not. I would be incline to think this would apply to the 40 as well.
