If you've shot both, how much of a difference is there really?
Let me preface this by saying my CCW is an M&P 40c that I've put around 800 rounds through. I just bought a used Glock 19 to serve as a back-up/range gun. The Glock is a 3rd Gen that appears very lightly used. Since I bought it from a shop used, I have no idea how many rounds actually went through it. The clerk said the previous owner only shot it a 100 times, of course, I can't trust that info. SO, my question is does a Glock need a certain number of rounds to allow the trigger to get broken in? My M&P shoots a lot better now than it did for the first 400 or so rounds. I was expecting to shoot better with the Glock than I do with my M&P, but alas, that was not to be at the range yesterday. |

I would say that stock Glock triggers may lighten and smooth out a bit after hundreds of rounds, but nothing drastic. For the most part, it is what it is unless you polish some parts, replace the trigger spring, or replace the connector.
I would say that in comparing stock Glock triggers to stock M&P triggers, the Glock stacks a little more or has more distinct stages while the M&P is a little smoother. However, the Glock's reset is more pronounced than the M&P's reset. I think either one is fine for a defensive handgun. You just need some more trigger time on the Glock to get more familiar with it and you will shoot better with it. |
| I have a G22 with a 3.5lb connector installed, an M&P40, and the trigger pull feel comparitable as far as weight goes. The reset on the glock is a little more positive, but I am getting used to it. I have had the glock about 10 years, the M&P for less than a year. With less trigger time, I am starting to shoot the M&P better. |

I've been able to tune my trigger exactly where I want it. Closer to a single stage trigger feel than a double action. But it's got a bit of grit to the takeup that won't go away. Maybe with aga I hope. It's not noticeable while shooting, unless your just slow shooting a target.
I prefere the Glock as its more tuneable, but the M&P's look sharp, especially the 340 revolver. |

Same views as above, with difference being I have a G17 and M&P 9 Pro. |

both triggers will smooth out within a few hundred rounds....
stock trigger wise, i generally prefer the glock trigger..but not by much i prefer the contours, the pull, and the final break; h/w, i hate the takeup and the weaker reset the only aspect i prefer more on the glock is the surer reset and firm break |

I have a Glock 30SF and a M&P40c.
IMO there is a reason why the first modification done to the M&P by the majority of folks is a trigger job. I really like the M&P, but the trigger is horrible. Glocks have a clean break, crisp reset, and no grit. The M&P trigger is completely opposite. Long gritty take up, dull break, and almost a non existent reset. The reset on the M&P is so easy to miss that routinely I have to release the trigger all the way past the pre travel and take up the pre travel again. Good news is after some work the M&P trigger can be what it should be from the factory, but Glock definantly has the M&P beat in the trigger department. |
| There has been a lot of discussion on here about the Apex Tactical parts to improve the trigger (including reset) on the M&P. I'm not sure if there are equivalent drop in capabilities for the Glock. This could change the debate from 'which is better' to 'yea it's a lot better but the M&P costs more'. |

In my neck of the woods the prices are pretty much equal (within $20-$30 for comparable models). |

I have a 3.5lb connector in my G22, much better than the 5.5lb it came with. I have always shot better with a longer trigger as long as its smooth and not too heavy. Of all the semiauto pistols that I have owned, for me the best trigger for me was a beretta 96D DAO I had awhile back. During my divorce I got hard up for money, sold it for a little bit of nothing 
My point is that its all what you prefer, and both the glock and M&P allow you to customize the trigger to suit you, up to a point. |
