Glock 34 vs. S&W M&P Pro Series (Part 2)

This is PART 2 of the Glock 34 vs. S&W M&P Pro video. We will start off with a review of the targets that I shot while at the range and move on to the shooting portion after about 3 minutes. IPSC Shooter/reviewer "DC" will make a guest appearance to do a brief bit of fast shooting for a little different perspective. In summery, the 34 and M&P both appeal to be greatly. The M&P appeals to me more on the desktop and in my hand while they're both perform essentially equal on the range.

Just watched part 1 and 2. Very informative and non-biased. Thank you, very well done.

@tiltbackjack Really appreciate the view and comments. Thanks for watching man!

I'm in the market for a S&W M&P and had to come to this channel to see a video of it. Excellent video.

@chanderson1 I must say that's it's a heck of a nice Christmas present to have you stop by and compliment one of my videos. I still like the M&P a lot! I'm a glock guy at heart but the M&P just has so much character. I'm a glock and M&P armorer and still can't decide which I like best. I know you'll enjoy yours brother!

@Patriot36 I've been going over some of your videos and came across this one. You do a very comprehensive comparison on the two guns. I think after viewing this, I find that the M&P is a great high value pistol. Do you think your opinions would be different if you had not chosen the "Pro Series" M&P and did the comparison with the standard M&P? Just curious if there was much of a difference between the standard and the pro series.

[Patriot36]

@chanderson1 I probably would have favored the G34 had it been compared to the standard M&P. The reason I say this is because the primary accuracy and confidence inspiring interfaces are the trigger and sights. The fact that its noticeably better on the Pro accounts for a lot in my book. I think the standard M&P is best compared to a G17 & where the dilemma of choice is likewise difficult. I shoot them similarly but would suggest one try both to see if that's the case for them. :)

Great vid, im considering one of these for practical matches it was good to see them in action side by side in competent hands. awesome vid, keep it up.

Great vids. One thing you didn't cover (I think) are the differences in grip. Right now I believe only the M&P offers different backstrap options vs Glock 34 (at least until the Gen4 comes out). My hands are on the smaller side so that alone would push me to buy the M&P pro (actually thinking about the 40sw version).

@Patriot36 okay, makes sense to compare the G17 to the standard M&P. I'm going to shoot several M&Ps at a friends range this week. Hopefully I can pick up one this week. Thanks for the fast reply! Have a great new year buddy!

@SuperShooterX Probably answered before in part 1 or 2 but it's just a preference during slow fire. By completely coming off the trigger, the finger pad is re-sensitized after each shot. In other words you start with a fresh feel and compression of the tissues each time. This would be a handicap during rapid fire, doubles, etc, but works when I'm really trying to feel the trigger precisely. It's an old technique from bullseye and silhouette shooting. Thx 4 watching.
