A Farewell to Arms (Why I jumped off the Glock bandwagon)

Evan, you're not alone....

I was kicking around the idea of adding a Glock 19 to the collection, but this and other threads here have convinced me to give a M&P the next spot in the old safe.

Thanks for the great info guys. This site rocks

Thanks for the detailed comparison of the two guns. I have been looking at both of these guns for my next 9mm and this post helps a great deal.

Who likes to shoot when its 15 degrees out? I do!!

I spent the morning down at lovemywoods'. He just picked up a 6-paddle dueling tree from Bobcat Steel and we wanted to give it its first run. I thought it would also be a great time to run the M&P some more.

We are planning a full review of the dueling tree, from assembly to painting to shooting to various games and exercises. Look for that in the near future. For today we just wanted to familiarize ourselves with it and have some fun. And boy did we have some fun!!

I'm still getting used to the new trigger and sights, but so far I'm still very impressed with the upgrades. I'm really liking the blacked out rear sight. Its there for reference but it allows me a better front sight focus.

After having fun with the tree I put a few magazines into some other Bobcat Steel, a 66% IPSC plate. I love making that thing 'sing'!

That dueling tree looks like a blast!

 

[HICKMAN]

what do you think of the sights? Still debating what I'm going to put on my G19 this time. Gonna carry/compete and this looks like a good combo.

 

[RBrianHarless]

Great video esrice. Looks like you two were having a little fun. Any weather is good weather for some trigger time with the exception fo tornado warnings. Have to draw the line somewhere...
Love the triggers of the M&P. Real smooth.

They are the best I've come across so far for my needs. The fact that they are very inexpensive is icing on the cake. I'd probably want a thinner front sight for competition, but as a comp/carry dual-purpose setup I think they'd work just fine.

Great write-up!

Looks like fun! I need to get me one of them dueling tree's.

Great write up, God made every man different and even now I am considering a m&p, I truly love my g22 and feel very comfortable with it, yet my buddy's m&p .45 acp has giving me food for thought.

 

[Txlur]

Hack sights are great. I love them in my G19.

So its been a while since I've updated this thread. Its been really tough to get in some dedicated pistol time.

I finally did last weekend. I got a chance to bench the gun and check the sights after their installation. Turns out they are ever so slightly off. Nothing a few whacks with a punch won't cure.

Overall I'm still very impressed with the M&P series of pistols. Mine has continued to run well with various types of ammo (including some reloads). I'm still waiting on my Raven holsters to come in, so VUPDblue was kind enough to give me an old Fobus he had laying around. It certainly keeps the gun off the ground but I'm reminded just how awful they are for much anything more complex.

I still haven't cleaned the gun. As is typical, I'll continue to run it until it starts to get sloppy, then I might clean it.

A fellow INGOer was showing me his "new" 2nd Gen G19 yesterday and I did feel a bit homesick. But I still like my M&P9.

Gaston dies a little inside every time Evan pulls the trigger on his M&P.

Said INGOer may have been able to see the sadness and jealousy in his eyes.

There is no one gun that is perfect for everyone. I actually shoot the beretta fs92 better than i do a 9 mm glock. So its an obvious choice for me which would I carry. One of the best comparisons I have read in a very long time.

 

[Fordtough25]

I traded for a Beretta 92FS the other day, great gun to shoot. Love my G17, my fiance's M&P 9 shoots great, my brothers XDM 9 shoots nice, and I still carry and love my G19 every day. Gotta love having a choice, and great choices at that!

Very nice! I need to get a Raven holster for my G19, I have several different types but nothing kydex for OWB. Where does that holster hold your M&P? High?

Here was my old G19/Raven.
