Top 7 Reasons The M&P Is Better Than Glock
When it comes to handguns, the M&P 2.0 and Glock are often put into comparison.
Both of these pistols are known for their quality and performance.
They are great for civilian use, especially for personal defense and concealed carry.
You can put other pistols in the fray. But the conversation should start between these two.
While many people are huge fans of both the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 and Glock, I still deem
that the former is better than the latter. Of course, I have my own justifications for that.
And if you disagree with them, then you can put your contention in the comment section below.
Hello everyone. This is Dylan from Click Clack. And in this video, I have listed all the reasons
why the M&P 2.0 is better than Glock. Stick until the end so that you'll see the relevant points.

Now, let's get back to the video! Concealment
Let's start with the aspect that these two guns don't set apart from one another.
Both the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 and Glock are technically similar in height.
They don't differ that much, so when it comes to concealment,
the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 and Glock 19 don't one-up each other.
When it comes to the grip, the M&P 2.0 Compact is somewhat beefier than the Glock.
But then again, the difference isn't that significant.
The thicker M&P 2.0 also has a rounded grip, which indicates that it is slightly easier to conceal.
Aesthetics Now, aesthetics is
something that people tend to avoid discussing. When it comes to gun discussion, people would
want to pretend that performance, ergonomics, and reliability are the only things that matter.
But secretly, they also look for guns that are aesthetically appealing.
Both the M&P and Glock are almost identical in appearance.
But a closer look would reveal the difference in the design and layout of these pistols.
Of the two, the Glock is the one that has simpler looks.
Of course, that doesn't mean anything bad. A lot of shooters prefer to own handguns
that don't look flashy. Because of this, they might prefer the Glock to the M&P.
Since aesthetics are subjective, I believe that the M&P is a more appealing option for shooters
who like to have good-looking guns. Frame
The next point that I would want to highlight is the frame of these two guns.
The frames of the M&P and Glock aren't that similar.
But both of them will provide you with the ability to change their respective grips.
The Gen 4 and Gen 5 of Glock feature removable back straps that you can include to the grip,
effectively increasing your trigger reach. They can make the gun a little bit bigger.
Meanwhile, the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 comes with three backstrap sizes. So
you are still free to improve your trigger reach while using this gun. Furthermore,
Smith & Wesson did excellent work in the installation of these backstraps.
Specifically, you will use a tool pin in the installation. The same tool pin is also used
for disassembling the pistol. On the other hand, Glock 19 back straps require you to
have a specialized Glock tool so that you can punch the pins in and out of the pistol.
The entirety of the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 doesn't have finger grooves. This design only came in the
Gen 5 of Glock pistols. The previous generations did have finger grooves, which annoyed many users.
I feel that the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 fits better in the hands than the Glock Gen 5. But
it is not a ground-breaking difference, either. I just think that the gun fills my hands better.
Sights The sights
are where the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 draws a clear line.
Fresh from the factory, the M&P 2.0 arrives with a three-dot metal sight. Of course, these sights
are already decent and usable right from the get-go. You still have an option to replace them
with iron sights if you think that they aren't enough for your preferred shooting applications.
Glock, on the other hand, comes with plastic slot fillers that appear bland. Between the
metal sights and these plastic sights, it is evident that the former is the better choice.
Fortunately, Glock offers AmeriGlo sight upgrades these days. These AmeriGlo sights feature an
orange front that is extremely visible when you are shooting the gun, even in the daytime.
But of course, we are just strictly talking about defaults here. It's evident that there are more
aftermarket options for Glock sights than for M&P. But for factory sights, it is clear that the M&P
is better than Glock. Safety
Another impressive aspect about the Smith & Wesson M&P guns is that it gives you the freedom to
include a thumb safety on them. Glock guns don't have safety, as many of you are already aware.
Meanwhile, you are free to acquire ambidextrous thumb safeties on the Smith & Wesson
M&P 2.0 handguns. This is a desirable feature for many dedicated shooters.
I also have to emphasize that the thumb safety of the M&P
2.0 has a great design. It is somewhat akin to the safety of 1911 handguns.
You can ride your thumb on the safety so that you will be able to handle the recoil
when firing the gun. I know that it sucks for Glock fans out there, but the safety of the M&P
is one of the biggest reasons why the M&P 2.0 is the better striker-fired pistol.
Trigger There are several upgrades in
the trigger of Glock guns. The trigger of the third-generation Glock has an extremely stiff
wall. This became a little bit better on the Gen 4 versions. The stiff wall disappeared, but the
trigger didn't give you a rolling break. When Gen 5 came in, we already had rolling break triggers.
These triggers feature light take-up before they reach the rolling break zone.
Once the break takes place, there will be a short reset. So that's Glock triggers for you.
On the flip side, the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 has a hidden-style trigger. You will never
have trouble engaging this trigger. Once you pull it, you will experience a light take-up.
It will not take long before you can hit the wall. After getting to that wall,
you will feel a slight creep before the break.
In all fairness, I can attest that the trigger break of the Smith & Wesson M&P
2.0 is clean and light. I personally like it better than the trigger break of Glock handguns.
Furthermore, they are extremely consistent and help you shoot straight.
Shooting You will enjoy shooting Glock guns.
They can fire rapidly, and they cycle quickly, as well. They enable better control over the
gun. Furthermore, they ensure that you can get back to your target in a jiffy. However,
if you are a first-time shooter, this mechanism of Glock guns might give you a little complication.
The thing is the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 shoots similarly to Glock guns. The only
difference is the aggressive texturing on the M&P pistols. Because of the texture,
you will be able to shoot comfortably and steadily, regardless of your skill level.
I have to make a point that the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 shoots better than Glock guns,
especially if the one who is shooting them has the same skill level. Of course,
others are more comfortable shooting Glock than the M&P, and there's no problem with that.
