The discussion is always Glock vs XD and M&P's are never even mentioned. I have fired all three and prefer the Smith to the other two in terms of ergonomics and accuracy. Just my 2 cents.

I've got a G19 in the safe, held in reserve for anti-zombie duty. But what I strap to my side every day is a Smith & Wesson M&P compact. Let the Euro Weenies bicker.....I'll take the superior looks, feel and shootability of the new American classic!
