Thanks for all the input
I have been using Glocks for 20yrs. Happy enough with them, though I think the stock sights are bad from a durability perspective. Very little experience with the M&P - I prefer the Glock grip and trigger, but the M&P comes with nice sights. I feel confident recommending the Glock, but not the M&P (due to lack of experience).
If reliability and durability are about the same then I will tell him to try both and select which one feels better to him
