Glock 19 Gen 5 vs Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0C - If I Could Only Have One...

[@clydegreen3028]

Recently bought the 2.0 and I wouldn't trade it for the world. With big hands, the extra back straps made the fit super snug. As my CCW i have no problems with the aggressive grip scratching me as some have reported. I sent hundreds of rounds down range with both of these weapons before settling on the SW M&P 2.0 9mm

[@Mr.Peanut1986]

2.0 is incredible. I couldn't be happier with this gun.

[@joehelvey5794]

I’m a Glock guy too, still, I own both, my carry more often than not is my compact. I think the Smith is just more pointable, natural point of aim. I’ll never not own both, if I had to pick one, and this is mag compatibility aside, I’d pick the 2.0. It’s close, but I’d give it to S&W

[@kenna.9368]

Agreed!

[@prevost8686]

I personally think that the 2.0 Compact was the most successful new model rollout in a while. No bugs at all. I can’t even say that about the early production P10c I have and I really love CZ products as a whole. I’m also thrilled that an American owned & assembled M&P has grown into a world class reliable pistol. America can compete with anyone when the playing field is level.

[@KSGunGuy01]

That's very true! Thank you and cheers!

[@mannycruz216]

M&P’s grip angle are just much more comfortable than the Glock’s. M&P looks 1000% better. M&P has metal sights, guide rod and magazine, as supposed to Glock’s which are all plastic. Glock’s hideous sight picture is another turn off as well lol. The winner is very clear :) Great video btw!

Great video. I never dreamed anything but a glock would serve as my EDC..until i sent the first 15 rounds down range from an m&p 2.0 compact. They're both wonderful guns but this 2.0c is everything I wanted it to be and more. Great video KS. Keep it up.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you Dustin! I agree, the 2.0c is an awesome gun and has really turned into a hugely popular option. Cheers brother!

[@spankyboy123]

I agree. I own both and after leaving the glock in the safe for a couple months and shooting the m&p , I pulled the glock out and it feels horrible( ergonomics) and I am shooting the m&p much better.. now if smith and Wesson would just offer the apex trigger from the factory..

[@KSGunGuy01]

[@davidlane6808]

white man from town I agree. I can’t believe with so much online about people putting Apex in their MP pistols, SW should just buy Apex and install them from the get go.

[@summertime2433]

The M&P 2.0 now come with a completely different trigger now. It is now a flat face trigger and it's amazingly good trigger out of the box. It's better than the Gen 1 M&P Apex trigger imo.

[@stephansmith3570]

it's 4 years in the future and I just got a compact for $400. It's still one of the top few guns on the market and has better grip angle, texture, better sights, looks better is equally reliable, has a lifetime warranty and is $100-$200 cheaper than a Glock 19.

[@mlone7]

I love my 2.0c. I put in the Apex deluxe kit where you can adjust the trigger pull with the curved trigger. I also got rid of the non adjustable sights. This is one of my favorite guns to shoot for accuracy. I have H&K's as well as Glocks but S&W did a great job on this gun.

Sounds like you can't go wrong with either firearm. I rented a glock 19 at a indoor range and it fit pretty comfortable on my large size hands and liked it's shootability. Unfortunately there was no M&P 2.0 available for comparison. Both pistols look similar in price online, $50 difference one way or the other.

[@funkyfresh2404]

Nice look. They are very close but the ergonomics and grip texture of the M&P wins hands down. The $400 price tag also makes the M&P the top gun here.

[@Danhall67]

I’ve kinda fallen of the Glock wagon when I picked up the M&P 2.0 9mm compact. It has a lot of great features on it that Glock kinda lacks. Like the textured contoured grip. It fix my hand perfectly! There’s more I could say, but will leave it at that for now. I have been reading other posts saying the M&P 2.0 is the Glock Killer. I’m beginning to believe it.

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

You made this post a year ago and claimed the 2.0 would be a “Glock killer.” As of July 2021, Glock sales out pace the M&P 2.0 by 4:1. Glock is still dominating in world wide sales. Don’t get me wrong, I love both brands, but Glock still wins in popularity with people.

[@JacksonWalter735]

@@colt10mmsecurity68 unless Laser guns are released in the near future, I honestly think Glock is too big to fail at this point. Too many people grew up shooting it/had decades of experience with Glocks, they're always in stock, police and military all over the world use them, it's popular in the entertainment industry, and the aftermarket support/services are unmatched. Even with better stock pistols that have more features or have better aspects like the M&P, CZ P10, FN 509, Sig P320, Walther PDP, and so forth, people will still gravitate towards Glocks and it will never be killed. Microcompacts are selling like hotcakes, but the Glock 43, 43x, and 48 are still some of the top sellers even with less capacity and being larger. People living in places like California with gun restrictions almost exclusively carry Glocks too.

There is no excuse for "Glock knuckle" on a 5th generation gun. When the Canik has a better trigger than a Glock at the Canik's price point... and the CZ P-10C is more refined than a 5th generation G-19... and you can have an M&P 2.0C WITH Apex trigger kit installed for the price of a Glock... it's folly to claim that Glock makes the best guns.

My brother had me tag along to help with his first purchase I asked the gun store if they had a bore sight. He picked up the Glock 19 and pointed at a target. Then when he felt the M&P over the Glock he was shocked. Once he presented he was closer on target. He fell in love. With a Mod 2 sub compact. That’s still a nice shooter, and the price was $400 new, couldn’t beat it.

[@kenwilliams8179]

Both are fine guns and I would trust my life to either gun. I personally am a M&P person. I own 5 of them. (including the M&P 2.0 Compact) I have shot alot of the Glock models (17, 19X, 19, 21, 23, 26, 40, and 43) My personal favorite is the 19X because I have large hands. I agree that changing the sights out to a good metal combat sight is a good idea, beyond that, I am not a fan of modifying a carry/self defense gun for a couple of reasons: The manufacturer knows best what combination of components work for safety, reliability and function and anytime you alter the mechanical components of the gun,you are possibly sacrificing said safety, reliability or function. Another good reason not to do it is if you actually have to use the gun to defend your life, it and every round you fired will be in the hands of a court that decides whether you are justified or prosecuted for your decision to use deadly force. How would you like a DA to say something like, “Mr Jones, isn’t it true you installed a better trigger in the gun to make it easier for you to hit your target, which in this case was the deceased ? “ I don’t reload defensive ammo for the same reason. Train, shoot the gun, learn to use the gun as it came from the manufacturer. The trigger will smooth out as you use the gun and you will become used to it as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpXGc6eFfpyDiqc

[@MrPhillyval]

Well I would not say it works like that. A manufacturer is limited to what the price he wants to sell the gun mays includes in terms of specifications. Nothing to do with te reliability or even safety. An Apex trigger improves the gun with no loss of any of that, for example. They are not crazy. A trial for the loss of safety or reliability would cost them too much. Anyway, you won't have any DA who will tell you that your gun was technically so bad that you had no chance at all to hit (or kill) anyone, so why did you even carry it in the first place.

[@Spark789lui]

Ken I agree with you

[@sesarman]

the DA will say the same about the sights and everything else regardless of your gun/mod choice, and the honest answer is "yes, I would like to be more reliable with my home defense weapon incase of such emergency"...etc, a revolver tends to be the most favorable weapon in the eye of the DA in my opinion (but I do agree with the reliability concerns of changing a trigger unless you know exactly how the internals operate).

[@SetThaHookD]

@@MrPhillyval thanks for clarifying that nonsense none of what he said is factual. Just repeating what he’s been told. Think for yourself. Trigger upgrades almost always lead to better accuracy how this works against you in court in a justifiable defensive shooting from a legal Firearms owner is just not true

Thank you InSight! I agree, they are both great guns. Both do excel with some minor tweaking which turned out to be a lot of fun for this edition. I prefer Glock triggers out of the box but I may be in the minority there! Thank you as always and cheers brother!

[@josephoh2176]

I bought M&P 2.0c a couple of months ago just because I couldn't get my hands on G19(I really wanted G19 due to so much hype). Today I went to the range and rented the G19 to try it out. I'm so glad I bought my M&P 2.0c. To me, G19 felt pretty good in my hand but the stock trigger was almost strangely lame. I couldn't tell when I was hitting the wall when I pulled the trigger. I had to almost guess when it was going to fire. With M&P, you know exactly when you've hit the wall before that final pull to fire. Don't Believe The G19 Hype!

I have the Gen 5 Mos. Corrects issues and adds front serations as far as cosmetic issues are concerned. Just never cared for Smith's hinged trigger and there magazines generally run more expensive then Glocks.

[@Sportimus]

I've been seriously considering a G19 Gen 5 for a few reasons. 1. Glock is proven to be highly reliable. 2. Access to parts is plentiful, easy, and inexpensive. 3. Mags are inexpensive compared to most others. 4. TONS of aftermarket options. That said, the M&P has proven it's worth in a crowded market. I was disappointed in their customer service, though. The 2.0 looks great but I don't like the white lettering on the right side, nor do I like the busy look of the controls on the left. The cutouts above the rail don't help either. I like a clean look. Functionally, but the 2.0 Compact and the G19 Gen 5 are great. Your video is great, but I am still at a standstill as to which one I'd like to go with.

Good review. I chose the Glock 19 Gen 5 as my first Glock to buy. I have owned M&P's Sig's and Beretta's and mostly over the past few years have been a revolver shooter with .38 Special/.357 Mag. I recently decided to go back to a semi-auto and looked at the M&P 2.0, CZ and others. I rented both the Gen 4 and Gen 5 19's at my local range and decided that I liked the Gen 5 better. I have never owned a Glock so this is my first time with this gun and I love it. It feels great in my hand and I shoot it well. I'm now considering getting the Glock 17 as a new home defense gun to replace my 6-round .357 Mag Ruger. Thank you for the informative videos.

Gotta say the 2.0 Compact is a great carry option and recently made its way into my EDC... it’s bigger FDE 5” brother spoiled me a bit though at the range throughout the year.

Well said! Thank you and cheers!

[@xXUnrulyXx]

i'm gonna be that guy, i have a 5 inch 2.0 smith and i just bought my first glock 19 gen 5.. i actually like the trigger on the glock better. they are both GREAT triggers, but i prefer the stiffer glock trigger over the smiths.. but both are great!

[@gilleonard7378]

I definitely agree. Also like the feel of the stipling better on my Gen 5 .

[@milehighed52801]

Wow, KS! I can't believe I'm watching this video five months after the fact!!! It's one that I was looking forward to seeing you do and actually suggested it to you (if you remember) back in Nov. 2017. You thought it was a good idea and would make it happen, soon. Hey, it got you 26K views! So, I guess it was worthwhile after it's all said and done. I said all of that, just to thank you for following through and for doing this video. Great job, I enjoyed it! I agree, the M&P M2.0C wins by a nose. I own both the G19 Gen4 and the M2.0C, and I enjoy them both, but for me it's the ergos and in hand feel that gives it the win, IMHO. Six months later, my opinion hasn't changed. What about yours? Again, thanks for the vid, KS! I appreciate you getting it out there. I apologize for not seeing it sooner! 😎👍🏻🇺🇸💥

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much MileHigh! I do remember the suggestion and it's much appreciated. As for what I think now,... same outcome, though either one are 100% fine choices. You really can't go wrong regardless of which camp you fall into. Cheers brother!

[@douglassalley9117]

I'm glade you chose the Smith. What is the distance you have your target, 10 yards?

[@KSGunGuy01]

Depending on the video, the targets range from 7 to 12 yards. Thank you and cheers!

[@socc6991]

I own several Glocks, I've shot them most of my life. The M&P feels better in your hand and has a better grip angle.

[@stevenadams6964]

Which is more reliable? You welcome!!

[@Smokey_IT]

I love my glocks but the m&p 2.0 has them beat without a doubt.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Right on! Thank you and cheers!

[@jimoyler1780]

Hey KS, Just got the Glock 19 Gen 5. I had moved away from the Glock 19 for a while. Always loved the Gen 4. Been through the CZ P10 C but never owned a Smith and Wesson. Shot a few. When I recently picked up the Gen 5 G19 it was like bumping in to a long list love... well almost. Had to get back together with the Glock but all said I've never really met a gun I didn't like. Although some are obviously more likable than others. I also just bought a B&T GHM 9. Can't wait to get it in. Happy Thanksgiving KS!

[@nathansloan7412]

Both are great pistols. For me it all comes down to looks, I like the m&p style better

[@KSGunGuy01]

Right on! Thank you and cheers!

[@mikeross6043]

S&W left nothing on the table with the 2.0, it's a world class pistol. Zero advantages to having a glock over this pistol ! IMO both the 2.0 and the Ruger American compact are better than a glock .

[@jamesrowe6632]

I will always love my gen3 G19 however I am really liking my 2.0c its flat shooting accurate and looks great. Happy holidays to you!!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much James! Both are awesome shooters for sure. Happy holidays and cheers!

[@jeffstevens156]

I’ve been looking at both of them to be my new carry gun. Thank You.

[@Firearms101]

KS great video. Maybe I'm seeing things but recoil management seemed minimal on the Gen 5 alot less hand movement. Did you notice a difference? I love my Gen 4 I've done minimal upgrades and must have got lucky with a awesome factory trigger. The M&P is a great firearm and a smooth shooter. People think I'm crazy but aesthetically I love Glock. Simple nice clean lines, flat minimal machanics. To me Glock looks like a gun. Lol just my opinion. Thanks brother. Digging your channel.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Great observations! I have a lot more trigger time behind Glocks so they shoot reasonably naturally for me but the Smith really is a great shooter. I agree, Glocks are synonymous with Gun for many people. Thank you and cheers!

[@gunfreak565]

I’ve had a 4.5” XDm for years and love it. Always wanted a 19 and the time was right with the Gen 5 being a lefty and it became my favorite really fast. It’s the MOS with a 407k on it. Recently picked up a 2.0 4.25” with the thumb safety (I’m a 1911 guy so it made sense to me). Anyhow these 3 pistols rounded up my ultimate polymer 9mm collection. Finally took the 2.0 out today and I was blown away. I still love my 19 but the 2.0 just may replace it as my daily carry gun in the big rig. The XDm however has become the nightstand gun and probably will never shoot it again but the wife loves it in the nightstand so there it will stay. She’s comfortable with it

[@MattChat56]

I spent a lot of money converting my holsters, mags and pistols from Glock to the S&W M&P 2.0.

[@114castillo]

This channel consistently has great content, should have more subs!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much John! Cheers brother

[@Nanonapplicable]

I love my 2.0 Compact. Thankfully, I got the newer version with the optics-ready mounting plates. While I didn't use the factory plates, the gun just comes so feature-rich. I love how robust it is and how it just has such a natural point of aim. I now have just completely tricked it out. My favorites are the factory sights and new style triggers. This is everything I've thrown on this gun since I know some will be interested.

[@Mr.Peanut1986]

What is a sidecar?

[@scottf.3808]

I am leaning to the S&W...Nice comparison vid as you give some info I don't see from others so I always learn something...It comes down to personal preference for sure as either is a good choice...Good stuff....

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you Scott! I agree, both are great and you can’t go wrong with either. Thank you as always and cheers brother!

[@jn3750]

Two different professional firearms magazines recently ranked the MP 2 HIGHEST among the Glock 19, Sig P320, XD, FN and others!

[@Dont_Poke_The_Bear]

I went with the m&p.

[@RegularGunGuy]

Jarrid O'Bryan me to. 😁

[@TheBostonranger1]

I did too

[@dan43213]

Me too. Love mine. I have the 4" barrel

[@SoccerVJ2011]

[@davidvermont]

TheBostonranger1 k

[@supervong1]

Great video. The M and P is my next gun. Hope I can find one soon!

[@zackinblack]

Glock! Availability of parts and mags makes it superior, but the m&p is decent. But glock takes anything you throw at it, red dots you name it.

[@rednblackdawg1410]

Nice comparison KSGunGuy. Thanks for the video. Any thoughts on whether S&W will be coming out with an M&P 2.0 9c? I hope to join you all on a Wed night soon. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much Red! I haven't heard about a 9c yet, but that would be awesome! We hope to see you back soon and Merry Christmas to you as well! Cheers brother

[@socc6991]

how much did the apex trigger kit cost you and how much did it cost you to be installed ? I kind of like the 2.0 trigger it's not that bad.

[@ThePatriotsway]

Have a G19 Gen 3, very good gun......but like my recently purchased 2.0 4.25 quite a bit better. Nice review. 🍻

[@KSGunGuy01]

That's awesome Sean! Thank you for sharing and cheers!

[@icee934]

Sean Go I like my gen3...sw and gen4/5 glocks...blahh

[@skipmars7979]

Thank you. What distance were you shooting from?

[@yortukfenstruk]

The grip angle on the S&W suits my hand better. That's what settles it for me. If you can't hit the target, the rest doesn't matter.

[@dootdeedootdeedoo]

I kinds want a M&P 2.0 to go with my first gen full size, compact and shield. I went M&P personally due to comfort and looks. Both guns are soooooo Brilliant

[@LiorIPSC]

Other manufacturers haven't been as successful as S&W in offering palm swell grips that actually offer different widths on their service size pistols. Agree with the video.

[@DailyCarrySolutions]

I plan on uploading a video about my experience with both. In short, bought both a few months back. Today, only my 2.0c remains. This Gen 5 is probably the first Glock that I did not like at all, which is surprising since I own quite a few other Glocks.

[@GoldtriggerDude]

Nice stuff. I was on the fence. I'm going with the S & P. Thanks!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much! Cheers!

[@GoldtriggerDude]

Hi: I went to the range yesterday and used my M&P for the first time. It jammed every other shot and the next round wouldn't load. sometimes the brass wouldn't eject. Any Ideas? Could it be the ammo? My gun dealer threw in a case of Blazer Brass. Much appreciated, I'm going to try shooting again today to see if this situation repeats. Thanks!

[@7up3down32]

Just picked up a 2.0 compact. Absolutely love it! Need to Apex and Trijicon it and she’ll be good to go!! 🤘🏻🇺🇸

[@KSGunGuy01]

Congrats 7UP! That's awesome brother. I think you'll really like it. Thank you and cheers!

[@RepentorPerish77]

I own the G19 and the 2.0 full size.....M&P all day

[@KSGunGuy01]

That's awesome! Thank you and cheers!

[@nick2062]

I’m in the market of buying a 2.0, when you say full size are you referring to the 5 inch barrel? If so, how does it compare to the 4 inch barrel and/or the 4.25 inch barrel? I haven’t shot the 5 inch but I feel it is too big for my ccw. I want the 4.25 because I feel it’ll be more accurate given the longer barrel. Also, how does the second shot accuracy compare to the glock 19? I don’t like glocks because of how heavy the barrels are and I feel it worsens the recoil and second shot accuracy. Thank you if you reply!

[@RepentorPerish77]

Discorama 7 the M&P has been a great pistol thus far. I have the 4.25 inch model. It had been very accurate for me. The recoil management on this pistol is fantastic which helps in the accuracy. I have several 9mm pistols and it’s the softest shooting. The 5 inch model would probably provide you with even more accuracy b/c it would be heavier, and the longer 5 inch barrel would give you a better sight radius

[@nick2062]

Thanks, man, I appreciate your timely response and great information. Looks like I'm pulling the trigger on the M&P 2.0 4.25 inch pun intended!

[@RepentorPerish77]

Discorama 7 I think you will love it. And for the quality you get you can’t beat the price

[@pilotsebastian]

Great Review! I really love the line of the Smith and Wesson.

[@RTree613]

Just added a 2.0 compact to the collection and I love it. Did you change out the trigger yourself? I am thinking about doing that as well.

[@risteardwest3384]

They are both good guns the only problem is m&p much harder to take down and you have more parts if you try to get in touch with Smith & Wesson they take forever to get back to you once they receive the gun it could take months before you get it back I know people that have trouble with them Glock you could get parts and fix it yourself on the internet or you could send it back to them you'll get it back in about 2 weeks most of the time they never charge you for anything I would just stay with Glock 🇦🇹🇺🇲👍

[@kyle6415]

M&P 2.0C is my CCW and I’m more than happy to depend my life on it. So far around 2,000 rounds through it without any parts breakage. Something else that can be mentioned as of 2023, the availability of mags and parts has been catching up to Glock as well (a factor when I’m shopping guns). Even at gun/outdoor stores in my area, I see more M&P mags on the racks than CZ, HK, Canik etc.

[@ecosby100]

I bought my wife a used mp only because it was mint, it had the original packing grease and no wear marks on the internals for 300. Shot it and I was really impressed. I like it, way more then my glocks.

[@jbw503619]

Recently picked up the M&P9 2.0c (4”) as my first gun and I love it. It shoots accurately, has safety features, aggressive grip texturing that keeps the gun put, stainless steel slide, sights, and mag release. Plus, it’s a beautifully designed gun. I think I’ll be shooting this for a long time and I’ve kept it stock. Quality and attractive pistol.

[@KSGunGuy01]

They are great guns for sure! Thank you and cheers!

[@Youngguns173SW]

This is one I can honestly say I couldn't choose 1 over the other. Im blessed to own both and it would be like choosing which brand of bottled water is my favourite Lol! They are both that Good.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Definitely one of the hardest ones I've done! I love them both as well, though I admit, I prefer the Gen 4 over Gen 5. Thank you for watching and cheers!

[@mikeharvey7308]

I bought S&W M&P 9 2.0 compact over the Glock 19. I have shot my brother's Glock 19. I also extensively shot a gen 1 M&P compact I gave my son. The Smith was $80 cheaper, had steel sights not plastic and I think it looks better. Both are good guns.

[@douglassalley9117]

I've watched many of you vids. and I like them. When you do your range footage, how far are you from the target? 10? 15? yards. One gunner on you tube shows the target in the upper right hand corner on his range footage. This was a welcome change. I don't know if you have to have special lenses or what, but I wish all gunners would start using that format. Enjoy your videos, I liked and sub.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much Douglas! My targets are usually between 7 and 10 yards so people can see them on video. I expand that off camera for my own shooting. Unfortunately due to the range setup, I can’t get the cameras any closer. Still working on a solution, however. Thank you and cheers!

[@douglassalley9117]

Thank you for reply. There are at least two gunners that does have the target in the upper corner while you can still see there grip and recoil control. I liked and subed.

[@KSGunGuy01]

My pleasure! I will keep looking into it. Cheers brother!

[@sonnygunz9207]

I chose the 2.0c. (F-ing love it)But I carried a G19/23 for 15 years. So it wouldn't hurt my feelings if I had to carry a G19 (any gen). gunmagwarehouse has the 2.0c 15rd mags in stock for $25. I got 6... And 12 of the 17rd mags. Were your rebate mags the 15 rd mags? They sent me the 17's. I wanted the 15's. Thanks for the video sir.

[@KSGunGuy01]

It's an awesome shooter Sonny! I agree, either would serve. $25 a mag is fantastic! I may have to check that out. The rebate sent me 2 17 rounders, ammo, and a mag loader. May be different per state or something? Cheers and happy holidays brother!

[@sonnygunz9207]

KSGunGuy I was hoping the rebate mags were going to be the factory 15rd mags but I received 17rd mags too. Makes since I guess, since you get those sleeves of the gun. Thanks again for the video. You chose wisely. 😎

[@ert-7112]

Excellent video. I know they are almost the same size, but diferent capacity, but between the G19 and the VP9sk, which one you prefer?

[@KSGunGuy01]

You are giving me some tough choices! The G19 and VP9SK are two of my favorites. I think, though, if I had to choose one, I’d probably go G19 due to the availability of parts. Thank you and cheers!

[@ert-7112]

Thanks for taking your time to produce interesting and addictive videos and above all for answering the many questions of your followers. 👍👍

[@KSGunGuy01]

Happy to do it and thank you for watching and commenting!

[@TheBostonranger1]

I also choose the 2.0 Compact.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Right on! Thank you and cheers!

[@NicoEl119]

I shot a M&P before I ever touched a Glock...I hated thr Glock boxy grip, and the trigger.....My first M&P was a 2.0 9mm, with the hinged trigger...I had to sell it during Covid. But now I got the M&P 2.0 10mm 4in, it has the flatter trigger with the blade. I'm in love.
