Glock 36 vs. P220 Compact

[navy09]

The Glock feels to me like holding a brick and the trigger pull is not smooth. It seems to hang up slightly just before it goes "bang". That increased resistance always causes me to pull down and left.

True story. I bought a Glock because I was looking for a solid CCW piece. It's definitely not ideal for any serious marksmanship. That's why I've been looking @ Sigs (and even considering popping my 1911 cherry).

I guess I should give the M&P a shot too... Call me gay, but I just don't like the way it looks.

I have an M&P and I really love it, its an awesome gun! Feels really smooth through the trigger, and its extremely comfortable to handle. Keep in mind though, mine hates Remington ammo, everytime I shoot remington I have stove pipes, never with any other ammo though, I know 90% of the time its user error, but I've heard that from several M&P owners.

This seems to be a Glock and HK thread, but if you guys have not taken the Smith and Wesson M&P series out for a test drive, you are cheating yourself. IMHO, they are superior to the Glock in virtually every respect. The two differences that jumped out to me were the superior trigger pull of the S&W and the ergonomics. The Glock feels to me like holding a brick and the trigger pull is not smooth. It seems to hang up slightly just before it goes "bang". That increased resistance always causes me to pull down and left.

The trigger pull of the S&W is smooth all the way through. All of the M&P models also have an adjustable grip so you can custom fit the weapon to your hand. No matter how big or small your mitt is, the M&P will fit you.

If you only have experience with S&W's Sigma series (affordable, but not outstanding), go back and give the M&P a try. It's worth the 10$ rental at the range before you make a $500+ purchase.
