[@EricLing64]

If you think about it, bullets are just tiny bombs, controlled by a steel tube. That should keep you safety minded a bit more perhaps. But some people just don't care enough until they actually shoot themselves by accident.

[@wesley4125]

@@EricLing64 I've never known anyone that happened to, and I know lots of gun owners. I do know of a few negligent discharges from assuming a weapon wasn't loaded, but they were always in a safe direction

[@chief7839]

Just a quick FYI. On the XD, the cocked indicator is the small silver pin on the rear of the slide. When it is protruding it is cocked. The indicator on the top of the slide is a round chambered indicator. When it is raised there is a round in the pipe and she is ready to rock.

[@Eric98683]

+Miculek.com- The Leaders in Gun Control! I bought a glock it is a good shooter it is a model 17 gen 4 9mm but if I had it to do over I would have bought the smith and Wesson. From everything I am seeing the S&W is as good as or better than the glock and is around $200 less in my area.

[@tuck234]

+Murat Akkemik If you're talking about after market parts and such you can do the same with M&P handguns too.

[@TheWolfmanG]

+tdej80 I went into a range/shop today.. confident I was walking out with a M&P45.. no way.. I wasn't going to be upsold. And my luck, was a glock event.. So they let me take both the M&P45 and the Glock21 (.45) out to the range and before I knew it, I was buying the glock... and I'm happy with it. I think it comes down to your hand. What feels good, and allows a good trigger pull.. counts for a lot. I shot better with the glock. Both are known for quality and reliability. I'll still buy a S&W M&P45 or the 9mm. But I feel no regrets with my purchase.

[@boxy8438]

XD for life. Was my first pistol purchase. Had to go through 2 waiting periods and background checks. Own 4 now. Would love to see this redone with each companies current versions of these.

[@nowthisis2stupid]

I've owned all three and all triggers come in at right around 6 pounds in my experience. Everyone complains about the M&P trigger reset, I never noticed anything negative about it. In fact I like it better than the Glock, The XD is my favorite though. Just a wonderful pistol.

[@Weazell]

All great guns. I own an m&p in .40 and decided to pick up an XD in 9mm. For trigger, ergonomics, and overall enjoyment, I'm definitely a bigger fan of the XD. As far as Glocks go? I only shot a couple and just didn't like the feel.

[@droks510]

Love my XD45 service, bought it in 2010 have put close to 6,000 rounds through it...and I haven't had even one malfunction with it. I would trust my life and my family's with it. Great video jerry!!

[@srcastic8764]

droks510 I couldn’t agree more. I have several XDm’s and have never had a malfunction on any of them. The guns are are comparable, but the grip safety alone puts the XD family well above the others to me. You never read about the accidental discharges from XD’s like you do from Glocks because with Glocks if something catches the trigger, like keys or a piece of a worn leather holster, it goes off. Not so with the XD family. Won’t go off unless that extra grip safety is pressed. And the XDm’s come with three sizes of back straps, so his argument of grip sizes is out the window. Finally, I’m a trigger nerd. The XD family is extremely easy to work on and you can do trigger jobs to get the trigger exactly how you’d want it. Mine is short and crisp like a good 1911. Can’t do that with the weird ass Glock triggers. They XD’s are just awesome guns.

[@droks510]

I just purchased a Springfield xd 45 service model and I really enjoy it. I had a Smith and Wesson shield 9mm and it ran everything I put in it. I've shot a few glocks but never owned one myself but I think they're all pretty reliable as long as they're taken care of and you have semi decent ammo at least. Great video thanks for sharing.

To be honest I have owned all 3 and still shoot and carry 2 of the 3. Once you get to this level of a firearm it really just comes down to personal choice. Each has their pluses and minuses and are really pretty much the same gun with slightly different ergonomics. Your not going to go wrong with any of them.

When I bought my first polymer gun, I was sure I was going to end up with the m&p9 or Glock 19, but after trying just about every brand, I somehow ended up with the Xd. It was initially near the bottom of my list, but it ultimately performed the best for me. I didn't want it, but I bought it and it grew on me. Now I can't imagine owning any of the other brands' polymer guns. It might not have the big following or be the coolest looking, but the damn thing just works. Mine is completely stock aside from some grip tape.

I carried a .357 for 28 years, now I carry the Glock (9mm) for the last 6 years. I switched to the Glock because when I shot it the first time I fell in love with its simplicity.

@@BPattB Ignore what others say, once you've established that the gun you want or have has been tested by professional competitive shooters, cops, armorers, etc, and declared good. The others do not have better grips and triggers. Nor are they more accurate. The point Jerry is trying to make, I'm trying to make, ANY professional shooter who is being honest with you, is trying to make, is basically that you should weed through the high end defensive pistols, listening to the opinions of professional shooters, armorers, 'smiths, as long as you pay attention to who is paying their paychecks, so you learn which guns are truly top of the line. At that point though, you disregard their opinion. Because once you establish the well made and dependable firearms which have proven themselves as duty weapons, competition weapons, tested weapons...the rest is no longer what's good or bad. It's simply what works for you personally. That's it.

[@edhillseo]

Thanks for a great comparison of the 3 polymer guns. I really like the reliable Glocks, but lately my wife has been gun shopping and I had my first close up look at the M&P9. She's tried many pistol brands to find a small grip that allowed her to reach the trigger, but not so small that recoil becomes punishing, including Sig, Glock, Ruger, S&W, Beretta & others. Initially she was afraid of recoil and only looked at .380 pistols like the Sig P238. Then we discovered that 9mm pistols like the Glock 17 or 19 and M&P9 had enough weight to absorb the recoil. The M&P9 won out because the small backstrap and curved grip shape allow her to reach the trigger best. The grips on Glocks and Sigs were too large and square so they hurt her accuracy.

I only own Glock because I live close to the factory and they'll fix it for free while you wait.

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

Another advantage of the Glock is how simple it is to operate and maintain. Not just regular maintenance, either. The Glock is like the AR-15 or the Ruger 10/22 in that there is huge aftermarket support. You can fix or replace about anything that can go wrong with a Glock by yourself with nothing more than a pin punch in minutes and can modify your pistol any number of different ways. It makes the Glock easier to keep running and easier to customize than any other handgun on the market.

[@commonsense7787]

How is this different than M&P?

[@916meds5]

Owning all 3 of these guns, they all are easy to disassemble with simple tools, all easy to modify, and all 3 have many after market modifications. For me the only mods that matter are night sights and a lighter shorter trigger pull. Anything after that is pretty much just competition or for looks.

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

@@commonsense7787 The Glock has been around longer and has much higher acceptance among law enforcement and military. This acceptance leads to more aftermarket support. I am not saying the M&P isn't a good pistol or that it hasn't been proven by law enforcement, or that it doesn't have some aftermarket support. But I just haven't seen nearly the level of acceptance the Glock has, nor the dizzying array of aftermarket support. The Glock also has a more complete lineup, and this helps draw a larger crowd. With the M&P you're limited primarily to 9mm and .40, with a few .45 models thrown in almost as an after-thought. With the Glock, you have those calibers in multiple different configurations, as well as cartridges like the 10mm Auto and the .357 SIG. The 10mm in particular gives the Glock the potential to reach markets other than personal defense. The 10mm Glocks are popular among outdoorsmen looking for protection against wildlife, and are issued in this capacity to several agencies in Alaska and Norway. I love my Gen III Glock 20. It is the pistol that got me into Glocks. I'd love it if S&W came out with an M&P 10, esp an optics ready model, but they don't, and this limits their market acceptance.

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

@@916meds5 I disagree. Caliber conversions are immensely popular modifications that can add a lot of potential to a handgun. Some people don't want a 9mm. The support available for the Glock far exceeds those of other designs, and draws a larger crowd. Try getting an M&P in 9x25 Dillon. Or 10mm Auto for that matter. The Glock 20 possibly saved the 10mm cartridge, kept it relevant, and the 10mm Glocks are still very popular in my neck of the woods for protection from wildlife. You just have more options with the Glock. It has been around longer, accepted by more agencies and military units, and its acceptance in the market place reflects this. If you want a 9mm or a .40, there is any number of good options for you. If you want something else, your options go down. The large frame Glocks have about a dozen different cartridges you can convert them to. And really the only trusted name in town right now for a 10mm is Glock. I know Springfield makes some XDs in 10mm now, but nobody who really runs their guns trusts the XD like the Glock. It just doesn't have the following and hasn't been proven for serious duty use like the Glock has.

From beginning to end, the Xd is actually the ashtray to disassemble even faster then the Glock because people don’t take into consideration that you have to rack the slide and pull the trigger first before you disassemble it, they just count the little bit you pull the slide back and release the tabs so they think it’s the fastest.

Paul Harrell, for 1...........just sayin

[@dawud8538]

XD asp Springfield 45cal. Mod2...the grip is what sold me.

[@i.q.3280]

good ole jerry. always a pleasure

[@i.q.3280]

👍

[@WadeinWhiskey]

Awesome video as usual Jerry. Only opportunities I saw is that you could have showed a little detail on the M&P back straps and maybe talked about the the feel of the reset on the factory triggers. Thanks for another video.

[@mnadeau1806]

I would love to hear Jerrys' opinion on the Springfield XDm-45 compact. I recently purchased one in bi-tone, I absolutely love it, it fits my hands well, and came from factory with all the bells and whistles ( lockable case, gun & mag holsters, mag loader, high & low capacity mags, and interchangeable grips.) I didn't have to break the bank or purchase the weapon and then buy all the add ons, like a match barrel, lighter trigger, extended slide release. How it came, is how i like it. Honestly, i didn't even consider a S&W due to price (shame on me), and i have no buyers remorse about it.

[@buckragland6822]

I have several Springfield's and the XDM Compact in 45 is my absolute favorite !

[@wadehaefner3999]

"Which is pretty trick" ...I haven't heard that term in a LONG time. Love it.

[@danrugbyman]

Thanks Mr. Miculek! A world champion making his own videos!? I love how you make yourself so available to the public to support the sport and our rights. Thanks for your ideas about this pistols.

[@TreBlaNoJ]

good video was looking at all 3 for my first pistol. I'll have to go try them all 3 out but mostly leaning towards the M&P

[@TheFeralcatz]

I'm pretty sure that the first polymer handgun was the HK VP70Z. Not the Glock.

[@MiculekDotCom]

Thanks for the correction

[@TheFeralcatz]

***** No problem bud, keep doing what you do!

[@toddy2519]

Actually, S&W made the first polymer pistol (Nylon) many years ago, but the president of the company at the time said, as far as he was concerned, S&W will never make and market a plastic pistol, so the project was shelved and the prototype destroyed! Luckily, as new leaders came in, that policy was ousted! (This info comes from the AGI video tour of S&W and it's present historian) AGI = American Gunsmithing Institute

[@davidcollis4758]

I used to own a H&K VP70Z while stationed in Germany back in 1982. It was not accurate at all.

[@sandygrungerson1177]

@ David - pretty funky looking handgun too IIRC

[@JDsgreatz28]

my XD had about a 5-6lb trigger in it, in fact it was just as good as my dads XDm trigger, he was upset when his "match" model had a worse trigger.

[@patrickreda3280]

Detailed presentation and easy to understand for a newbie.

[@brianbarnesggvideos4600]

I want that core..... thanks for the video Jerry. Love your trophy room.....

[@bushwookie1345]

I own a glock 23 and the m&p not real familiar with the XD, but the glock and smith are perfection as usual

[@Rhyno430]

No Springfield XD(M)?

[@xtremearmor]

Great comparison video. All three of these guns are fun to shoot.

[@tombutler8651]

Great video Good comparisons. I am a fan of the M&P line and may get another soon. The fit and feel of the M&P for me is perfect. Never had a failure of any kind. Not having a need for an optic, I would like to see S&W put their ported barrel on a non CORE model as an option.

[@lyodbraun]

Hey jerry, I'll gladly take that old unwanted Glock you have off your hands ? LOL...

[@thejoshbtv]

M&P>all. The ergonomics on those guns are absolutely perfect for me. I love them.

[@zacharywest5646]

Thanks for this video, it was super helpful

[@rdean45acp]

Jerry, you are the man! That's all I got, thank you for the videos.

[@TyeWills]

Video of your first Glock would be sweet!

[@luckyluciano4075]

Absolutely agree with you!!!

[@brianmccarthy8444]

I have become a springfield XD guy. They are the most accurate for me and seem to be the best quality made. It's excellent craftsmenship.

[@ricksworlddereaux2397]

Springfield my A... Go try a swiss Rifle then you know what Quality, Precission means. 🇨🇭👍With that you shot a coin in the middle at 300yards.

[@AtlasJotun]

@@ricksworlddereaux2397 Not really relevant in any way to polymer pistols from the 3 manufacturers discussed in the video, but you're right: Swiss straight-pull bolt-actions are excellent. Kinda like saying "Oh you like Honda Civics because they're durable? You should get a Cummins." Bit of a non-sequitur.

[@ricksworlddereaux2397]

Not made in USA, Steel, Craftmanship is sloopy, because for the yanks profit is first not quality.. Like in Germany, Switzerland, Austria.. first is quality, reliability, precission, then they think of profit, So we think the other way around then Yanks. 😉👍🇪🇺

[@ricksworlddereaux2397]

Mc C. You are a foolish ignorant, yea keep on dreamin.. MADE IN THE USA IS BEST... 🤔🇺🇸🥵THATS WHY YOU GOT 470BILLION MINUS WITH GERMANY IN TRADE😁😁🇩🇪such a smal Country like Virgina .. Exports triple then the whole USA.

[@spookypunky]

@@ricksworlddereaux2397 your sentence doesn't make any sense. In America, Virginia is a state. As for GPD, just the state of California alone makes more than tdd he country of Brazil.

[@claymcwilliams8544]

love your vids keep it up Sir

[@Bullwinkle4133]

Very well put together vid

[@2xManyHobbies]

Hi Jerry, what have been your impressions of the Mag-na-port autoporting on your C.O.R.E M&P?

[@ironcladpatriot5829]

"alot of horsepower in the magazine" Love it!

[@froochie123]

yeah im definitely keeping that one for my lexicon

[@antoniorobbs9965]

Thanks for what you do, I’m looking at the XD40.

[@johnnyberetta9533]

What a great, informative, and entertaining video ! I like the Smith & Wesson M+P the best ! They are all really fine pistols of course.
