I've shot a lot of plastic pistols but only own a Glock 19.
I gotta admit I basically liked them all...........they were all pretty easy to shoot half way decently, which is all I am capable of anyways. |

I carry and compete with Glocks (19, 17, 30S & 21SF), my wife carries and competes with an M&P c and a full size M&P, both 9mm. A lot of my friends and fellow IDPA shooters carry/compete with XD & XDms. I see them have some problems with them every now and then. I tried the XDm, but didn't care for it.

I've never shot an M&P so I have no opinion on that brand. I believe Glock has a simpler and overall better design. Add to this the aftermarket and LE support for the Glock and there is no competition.

Can't go wrong with Glock, HK, FNP, or M&P
There are enough good brands to use one that best fits your hands and naturally points the best for you. |

I'm really liking the CZ75-P-07. Only had it for a couple of months but love the trigger. http://ssguiderods.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/CZ-75-P-07-Duty.jpg dp View Quote I've been thinking about picking one of these up. I really enjoy my Steyr S9 for carry |

Glock with the hump pushed in. The M&P a close second with Apex parts. I'd skip the XD's. FN worked good but mags are expensive and not as much support.
Had all 4. |

I'm talking about Glock, S&W M&P, and Springfield XD mainly. Not into Taurus, Sig, and so on. Anyway, I was thinking of getting either a full size competition model like G34, or a carry model like a G26 for my next pistol. Got one of the Austrian made G19's that came in about 5 years ago and it shoots great. View Quote XD all day long |

Hand size, and bore height vs how you naturally aim should be factored and the only way you do that is shoot all the potential pistols.
For me its S&W M&P. Out of the four pistols XD, USP, Glock, and the M&P. The smith was way more accurate for me. The USP was a close 2nd. Triggers all suck from the factory, but really How much Koolaid do you have to drink to say a Glock trigger is better than a M&P? |

I have HK,Walther,Glock,S&W and SIG plastic guns.
The Swiss frame/German slide SIG is the best made and has the best trigger.It was also the cheapest. |

How much are Sigs? Please, don't say 2022, because it does not have a better trigger than any of the guns mentioned here so far, let alone a PPQ. Not being a fanboy, as I own 7 handguns, including a Sig, Walther, Glock, CZ, and S&W. |

I agree with all those that say you should try them all and pick the one you shoot best.
For me it was an XD-40. I have it in all three sizes. XD-40 SubCompact is my carry gun. XD-40 Service is in nightstand. My XD-40 Tactical has 30,000+ round through it now, mostly shooting USPSA matches and still going strong. |

I have owned or currently own the following polymer pistols Glock 17 and 21 Springfield Armory XD H&K USP and P2000 S&W M&P 9 Although I cant say anything bad about any of them, I now only own the Glocks. I just shoot them better than the others. It is a personal choice for any shooter |

Winchester White Box yielded a 6' circle at that distance. Should've used some match ammo |

No, they suck if YOU want to hit a target. I have no issue whatsoever hitting it with a Glock. Dont project your inadequacies on others. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I have had Glock and Springfield and prefer the XD because, it has a grip safety, ambi mag release, loaded chamber indicator and striker cocked indicator. The XD I had ran great with everything and was very reliable.
|
|
I have a Gen 3 G19, and a M&P 9 with APex parts.
I shoot the M&P much better, so to me, it's the better of the two and what I carry. YMMV |

S&W M&P 9 with an aftermarket trigger or a Glock 19 with aftermarket sights.

For plastic, I prefer the M&Ps.
Are they " the best"? Damned if I know; but I like their ergos more than the others. Mine have been reliable for a total of almost 17,000 rounds of assorted ammunition right out of he box,which makes them reliable enough IMO. There are quite a few fine plastic guns to choose from these days. |

Check out pistols offered by FNH. I've shot a FNS40, very nice pistol. Wouldn't mind one in 9mm myself.
