Getting ready to purchase a new 9 what do you think Glock 26 or sw 9c compact?

 

[Sullivan_pbr]

You can't go wrong either way. That being said, my preference is s&w

 

[lovemachine]

Between the 2, the Glock 26 shouldn't be compared to the S&W 9c. The G26 is a subcompact, while the 9c is a compact.

A fair comparison is the S&W 9c VS the Glock 19.

That being said, go for which one fits your hand the best.

Have owned and enjoy both but the M&P9c with the apex trigger is my favorite!

 

[nra4ever]

I agree I have owned both and still have the 26 and the m&p 9c. I would do a comparison between those 2. I can't speak on sw 9c. Try both or all 3 before u buy.

Glock 19. Only slightly larger than the sub compact, but that extra grip length makes it easier to get a good grip on the gun.

I went with the M&P (though I was comparing full-size models). In the end, S&W being an American company tipped the scales for me.

I love M&P and carry an M&P9C all the time. That being said, either one will serve you well if you have narrowed your choices down to those two.

If you have the ability, set them side by side and choose the one that fits your hands and preferences the best. Heck, choose the one with the better price if you really can't decide.

Both are QUALITY, but what do YOU shoot the best / get QUALITY shots on target FASTEST? Find someone with both (factory original, if possible) to get a good baseline and go from there. Since they are two different animals, you need to get more hands on time instead of just taking our words for it.

I've owned both and I really think the M&P9c is a fantastic gun. As another poster had said, there is enough size difference between the two making it a hard comparison. The size of the 9c makes it fit perfectly in between the G26 and the G19 so it does boil down a bit to what you are looking to use it for. The good news the magazines from any of the full-size versions of those guns will work in them so that is a nice bonus for buying into the M&P or Glock 9mm family if you opt for a full-size pistol in the future. If you do already have a full-size Glock or M&P it would make the most sense to go for the smaller version to help keep costs down because you can probably use the same holsters/mags and mag carriers for that.

In the end, I'm a Glock shooter despite owning and shooting/carrying/competing with the M&P series of autos so I'd go for Glock..but the 19 over the 26.

GLOCK 19. clinton and Wesson should not be in anyone's collection.

 

[gglass]

M&P with an Apex Sear.

As a former Glock owner, you should take my word for it.

Being friends with all of these guys I find this thread entertaining! Oh and forget either the M&P or Glock and buy yourself a Walther PPQ.

Seriously pick the one that fits your hand the best and buy it. Or find someone who owns both, shoot them both and buy the one that works for you.

Tough decision. Make it easy on yourself and get the Springfield Armory 3.8 Compact.

We were just having this conversation the other day, weren't we?!

If you still can't decide, you can always just get a Glock & Wesson 45mm.

 

[bar3353]

it depends on size, whether or not you are comfortable without a safety, and which company you like better. Like DustyDawg said the G19 would be better. It's still compact too

 

[King31]

I have never shot a M&P but have managed to pick them up several times. Personally I like the feel of the Glock better and with all the positive opinions on reliability, that's what I chose. The G19 has the same frame as my 23 and I love it.

 

[THE BIG SITT]

M&Ps can be bought with a safety if that maters to you...

It really is like asking Ford vs Chevy... or better yet... Ford vs VW.

S&W !!!!!

I have both and find myself going for thw S&W, that has an Apex trigger kit, first. Not sure why, but it seems more comfortable.
