As an M&P fan boy, I shot the Xcarry at a range as a rental and I REEEALLY liked it. I liked it in a way I can’t really explain honestly. And yes….. the sights were awesome.

[@wreckagevic]

I went with the 3.6 M&P. I have small hands and this has been the best fitting double stack that I’ve tried and I love the aggressive grip. The S&W came in nearly $200 dollars cheaper after my initial browsing and the mags are certainly cheaper too.

[@matthewmusselwhite591]

The modularity of the sig is for me the game changer! P320 can convert to: P320 X5, Full Size, XCarry, Compact or XCompact as well as the following calibers: 9mm | 38 | 40 S&W | 45 ACP All via x-change kits You can even change the grip sizes to better fit your hand size. It’s the AR-15 of hand guns...

[@user-Patriot1776]

I’m fortunate to have both and like them equally. Both have different qualities I enjoy. The shield 3.1 performance model is great concealed carry option. While the sig sauer p320 Xcompact is also a great carry option. Shoot ability goes to the p320. While the shield just feels great all the way around. Very hard choice. Great review!

[@acfresh2762]

You said it best at the beginning, if you are looking at either of these you are doing it right. Cannot go wrong with either as this just comes down to personal preference! Stellar review as always.

I just love the subtle (& not-so-subtle) disdain for SIG you can always find in the comments😂 If there’s one place Glock, S&W, HK & Beretta can come together, it’s across from SIG🤣 This was an *EXCEPTIONAL REVIEW* & earned you a new sub! I truly enjoyed it. #P320XC4Life

[@srsatlaf4730]

I don't like the hinged trigger either which is why I put an Apex trigger on my S&W M&P 2.0 sub compact, along with Truglo TFX Pro day / night sights. For me this is the perfect combination for my EDC carry. Love Sigs too though, I have a couple of Sig pistols as well.

[@My_world1979]

I have the m&p 2.0 3.6 with night sights and apex trigger ,its def a hard choice. But I will be getting the p320 x-compact cuz well it’s amazing and why not have another one to play with. Can never have too many pistols.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Right on! Both are definitely great. Thank you and cheers!

Ditto. Just bought the M&P 2.0 3.6 a few weeks ago. Haven't even shot it once. I bought my son the P320 X Compact, hasn't been received yet but I want one myself. I want to order it due to limited inventory but waiting for son to receive his so I can check it out in person first.

Didn't see one for the Romeo 1 pro that I just mounted. But thanks for showing that there is an option.

[@prevost8686]

Well, we do know that the M&P 2.0 Compact came right out of the production gate with ZERO issues. The thing has been superbly accurate, impeccably reliable, impressively ergonomic, exquisitely affordable, uniquely American and astoundingly durable. Though I don’t own the Sig, the grip frame felt like it was made of a cheesy grade of plastic. Note I said that it “felt “ that way to me. I have no clue how durable the plastic really is. The M&P appears to have more attention to detail to me. The chassis design really isn’t a selling point for me though I could see how some would like it. I also have to be honest and say that the rollout of the 320 was a disaster and it’s takes a long time to overcome a bad new product problem even after it’s been corrected. Obviously, they are both good guns but I just feel more confident with the 2.0 .

Fair enough! Thank you and cheers!

[@williambowen3801]

I recently bought the Sig P320XC and I love it, the trigger pull is excellent for a polymer gun. The X-Ray night sights are well illuminated at night and the grip stippling could be a little more aggressive but none the less still a very well performing firearm.

[@GreyPilgrim406]

Tough choice for sure, we are so spoiled these days with so many great pistol options. I love the SIG X-Compact and X-Carry, but if you Apex the M&P 2.0, it's really hard to beat.

Very well said! 100% agreed about an Apexed M&P. Thank you and cheers!

[@KENAHIGHLANDER]

Once the M&P has the APEX installed it is very similar to the 1911 trigger.

[@CaveWyatt]

Well, I don’t have these but I do have the X-Carry and the 2.0 9C 4” and, while I like both these guns a lot, I don’t think that anyone who owns an “X” in any size is surprised by your conclusion. To me, the X grip feels a bit better all around. Then there’s the trigger. It’s like Glock reviewers used to say, “All you have to do is throw in the (pick a custom trigger) and the (pick an improved sight) and the Glock is the better gun.” As if the extra $250 was baked into price and not an issue. Except then it is in no way a direct comparison. And spending $175 for the Apex trigger system is the only way to make this a toe-to-toe faceoff. You are pretty much buying a custom trigger in the X (no, not the snapping icicle but maybe the snapping carrot, as Bill Geissele would say). You’re also getting built in night sights. I’m not a fan of these but the Sig X-ray system has won me over. Very, very nice. So, we’re talking about a pretty big price difference here, stock, but I really think you are getting every penny’s worth for the X. And, remember, I really do like my 2.0 Compact. It’s a beauty. So maybe you can’t really lose either way.

[@KSGunGuy01]

I agree Jake. The ergos are really spot on and I enjoy them more and more each day. The X Ray sights are truly awesome. I’d take them on any gun. Well said on all points brother. Thank you and cheers!

I cannot get used to how high the full and compact SIG handguns sit.The 365 is perfect sub-compact, but anything bigger just feels like a handgun from 100 years ago. That said, I can understand why the military felt that was not an issue coming from the M9. But to any civilian who has significant time on a "wonder nine" it is a bad adjustment.

Sig was something always on my radar with the p226 and p229. The P320 never really intrigued me until the X series came into the game. The grips just fit so well and position your hand perfectly! (At least for myself).

[@BrianWilson-yx1sp]

Sig dropped the ball with the way them slide catches hang way out from the frame I love the gun until I noticed that that's just horrible

[@Kazymedic]

If you held one, you would quickly realize that they are far less of an issue than say a 226/229. I have big thumbs and I never have failure to lock on last round. My 229 usually does not lock back because of the placement of the slide lock.

[@williamhuff8601]

Excellent video! I have used a G19 as my CCW for years, and was looking for something new. It came down to a choice between these 2 in the end. I have a S&W for a different purpose, and it is a fantastic gun. And to be honest, i have never found a Sig that really impressed me. Until i discovered the X Compact..... I chose the Sig primarily for 3 reasons: !. Way more comfortable in the hand. 2. Tritium night sights. 3. Trigger.

[@begood82]

Sig P320 is a winner.. you can abuse the grip, you can replace it in different colors, sizes, etc...

[@1hardluk]

I had a p320xc that bulged brass something awful never owned a handgun that had so little chamber support most on the side like the early X5's . It went home to sig for a some tlc and came back stating it was in spec and still bulged brass making it unsafe with +P ammo and limited options for night sights with limited dot optic options unlike m&p and there 7 adaptors for any dot optic . The Sig went away to a new home and bought a M&P sku: 13144 . Optic ready with thumb safety and fiber front sight too for the same price as the p320XC was ! and was a LE only model for a couple years . I paid $549 brand new at our general store for my M&P sku:13144

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

The 2.0 texture should be the standard for all pistols.. I keep waiting for the day we figure out what smith designed that uses these same mags wo the spacers.. they had a great chance with the shield xl to make the grip just a bit longer to use the 8rnd mags wo spacer.. no one buys extra 7rounders lol.. The more I shoot the M&P pistols the more I’m a fan of the ergos as they simply seem to have really nailed a better grip shape design with the slightly narrower but deeper grips. They carry better and fit my had way way better then any other pistol out there.. Why did sig run the texture all the way up the sides. But soo short on the back strap? The backstrap is arguably where you need texture more then anywhere else in the grip frame.. if I were to design a pistol I’d even try running it under the beaver tail tbh.. it might run you raw but I’d def try it pre production.. no one has ever complained that backstrap texturing was too high but many have too short.. Smith really seems to understand this.. they clearly make pistols that real shooters test not pistols that are tested by non shooters. Odd thing.. till I bought my second M&P pistol I really wasn’t a big fan. Those rifles are second to none for durability, accuracy and price.. the sports out shoot most $1500 guns lol.. but the pistols have always been a different story for me.. I’ve been a p226/m92 fan forever when it comes to pistols.. bought many glocks for carry guns cause well.. they were glocks.. I see a lot of M&P pistol purchases in the near future.. wife wants to replace her 938 with the 380ez, the shield 2.0 has already replaced my g19 as my edc standard. I used to carry it only for comfort in certain wardrobe choices or extended days of carrying, but it’s now the standard for me. I’ve played around with a lot of modern sigs and the triggers for me are just complete garbage.. they feel like a toy gun trigger with sooo much unneeded feedback before they walk. Feels like every part in the trigger group didn’t get finished and needs not polishing but grinding to smooth out. I like zero feedback triggers.. I want air. Wall. Break. The M&P have a bit of cheap.. but a $10 saftey plunger removes that. I’ve never had an issue with the weird hinged trigger design like many though and honestly can’t tell it apart from a glock shoe or any other really.

[@minnesnowtan9970]

The Sig's longer barrel should help with velocities, maybe another 50fps. Depends on the powder of course. I have the P320 regular compact and am considering Sig's flat trigger as an upgrade. For me, accuracy improved when I bought (and used) the small grip module. As for carrying it, it's brick like to me but I never carried before. Most anything smaller is two-finger grip territory, and in an emergency I just don't feel confident in the accuracy with such a grip. Hurting a friendly would probably ruin my life.

The thing I noticed most, and appreciated, is that you seem to do your reviews on stock guns. I noticed that you even mentioned and sorta redid this when it was brought up in your comments that you were testing an upgraded, though I guess technically still stock/factory/whatever version of the glock. I can not stand reviews where someone is comparing their favorite with upgraded trigger, grip, sights to a stock gun and just kinda mention that in passing. EDIT: Oh and I subbed.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much asd! To be transparent, I do occasionally have to use a modded gun for videos based on what I have here, but I try to be very clear about that up front to avoid confusion. Cheers my friend and thank you again!

I bought a M&P 9C 2.0 with night sights for $309 at RK Guns and it came with 3 mags, could almost have 2 M&Ps for 1 Sig.

[@JayB-bq7hh]

Thanks , I'm buying a 3.6 S&W ............. Sig is ok , I own one but M&P is got better features for me !!!!

Could you please do a p320x compact vs Glock 19 gen 5? I can't decide which to pick.

[@MrSmith-zo6po]

I was going to get one of these two guns. I chose the x compact because I dont have to change the sight or trigger. As much as I love my full size m&p 9 2.0, I changed the sights and i just dont like the hinge trigger.

[@KSGunGuy01]

I completely understand that! Thank you and cheers!

I find myself in the opposite side of the fence on this one. I'm not a fanboy of S&W but in this comparison I would take the M&P 3.6. The 'bells & whistles' on the Sig are mostly cosmetic and not really worth the substantial price premium. I appreciate that you get the Sig awesome sights and a flat trigger shoe, but is that worth the extra $$$? I guess that's a personal decision. The Sig is retailing locally for almost $780 and for me, it feels cheap. In my hand it feels like a $400 for almost $800. The M&P feels like a $400 gun. As always, thanks for an awesome comparison. I always look forward to these!

[@KSGunGuy01]

$780 is definitely too high for the Sig MD! I do agree that if you aren’t looking for the dot cutout and X Ray sights, the Sig’s value drops quite a bit. The M&P is an exceptional value out of the bot, though I always want to change the sights and trigger which adds to the bottom line. Thankfully, you can choose the sights which gives it an advantage. Thank you and cheers brother!

[@texasghost6725]

I have the 3.6 and an xcarry, the sig is a way softer shooter

[@edselman58]

I have the Smith 3.6.Don't like the trigger design so I installed an Apex trigger.I then put truglo sights with Talon rubber grips to tame down the rough texture on the stock grips for carry use.This set-up helps my old eyes and arthritis hand for better control.

[@kennethelder1425]

@FifaGodd Around 290.Want cheap but I did it myself save some money from letting a gunsmith installed it.The stock sights are of good quality but wanted combination night/day sights for my eyes.Apex trigger is at about 4 pound pull.I have about 3/4's in value from accessories of what I bought the gun for.I feel this is set up for my needs.

[@Bigfoottracker89]

I currently have one pistol the 1.0 shield been looking for a compact size for awhile now.. and I thought that this vid would help me decide on my choice but I'm still broken between the two more then ever Haha. I'll prob go with the 3.6 so I can save money to get a ruger redhawk too. Great video thanks for the detailed comparison

[@KSGunGuy01]

Truthfully, you can’t go wrong with either. Just pick the one you shoot better and feels better for you! Thank you and cheers Chris!

[@davidb8397]

I have the 1.0 shield too you cant go wrong with another m&p love my shield thinking about the 2.0 compact 3.6 for my next one

[@e.l.robbins5614]

Update: After 2k rounds through my sig p320x compact; I can honestly say I do not regret parting company with smith and Wesson m&p and glock 19s. The triggers down to 4lbs and this gun shoots fast for me. Sig hit a home run outta the box with the p320 x compact. I have a p365 and p365xl and I can say I'm a sig fan. The closest thing to a sig I have ever owned before these three guns is a Colt/Sauer rifle in 3006. That's a fine shooting rifle too.

[@RepentorPerish77]

E. Robbins yo! When I bought mine and shot it I was TRULY amazed!!! For such a small 9mm it is a fantastic shooter!! I still love my P10C and it’s not going anywhere, but I’m seriously considering selling my G19

[@zenos.5315]

I’ll take the M&P any old day,I love mine,and the price difference is a factor for me.

[@justanotherinternetexpert7743]

They are making a AR -15 pistol for Sigs trigger module. Its a after market non Sig product. But pretty cool that soon you will be able to switch between any number of sig p320 guns and calibers, and also throw it into a AR all with one back ground check.

[@KSGunGuy01]

I saw those! They look very cool indeed. Thank you and cheers!

Diaz I, um, sort of forgot to mention purchasing an X-Carry on Black Friday to my wife. In my defense, the “tactical store” I bought it at is in the same shopping center as the camera store where I was buying my wife’s Christmas present. It was calling to me, I couldn’t help it. It was mesmerizing. I’M THE VICTIM HERE!

[@jpg_sig10]

Personally, I see no point at all to this S&W M&P 9 M2.0 3.6" Compact when we already had the excellent 3.6" Sub-Compact model offering better concealability. The 3.6" Sub-Compact comes standard with two 12-round 9mm Luger magazines (1 flush-fit, 1 with the pinky extension), plus two textured grip spacer sleeves (1 for the 15-round magazine, 1 for the 17-round magazine). Between the two pistols featured in this comparrison review, I'd definitely take the S&W M&P. It has a lower bore axis, better grip texturing (for me), less muzzle flip as seen here in this video, and there's the optional frame-mounted ambidextrous manual thumb safety version (something I personally require on all my striker-fired pistols). The SIG Sauer P320 just isn't for me. Why such a high bore axis on a striker-fired pistol? Besides, a pistol design that is notorious for firing when dropped, and self-firing even when holstered... no thank you. Pass.

[@mohawkdriver4155]

I'm a SIG fanboi, so I will always go with a SIG.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Right on! Thank you and cheers!

[@KingLeeThe2nd]

I’ve as the 3.6 optics ready 2.0 and I just got the p320 x compact pro cut…. Definitely prefer the x compact WITH the Wilson combat grip module. The sig has less recoil to me. The M&P feels better and has THE BEST factory grip texture but that means nothing if I don’t shoot it as well.

[@rabbivj]

I have an M&P 2.0 3.6" with an apex flatty and it is a dream to shoot. My experience with the 320 is that i cant stand their sight picture.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Fair enough and I do agree about the Apex flatty! Thank you and cheers!

[@WilliamKister]

Thing that kills it for me on the Signs is the high bore axis. You can see in the video that it has it's way with you a little more. The concept of a 15 round magazine with a 3.6" barrel is awesome though. Also being on a larger frame than the smaller pistols like the P365 and Shield size, they are way more manageable to shoot. Both are great choices. I still feel Sig could have made a lower bore axis and they just kept the P250 DAK geometry. If you're going to shoot a striker fired pistol, take advantage of being able to have a lower bore axis.

[@MikesChannel1108]

Those M&Ps are super ugly to me. They remind me of a fish for some reason. And they're expensive. I bought a SIG P320 Compact. That one was $535 out the door. 15 rounds. I got some SIG X Ray sights coming. Those were $89. The aftermarket for the P320 is huge is what I found out as well.

[@fireguy_75]

Just picked up the X Compact last week, shot it for the first time today and ...wow...EXCELLENT shooter! Fits my size XL hands better than any other handgun I own. That flat trigger, to me, makes a WORLD of a difference; I shoot a lot better with one. My only issue though so far is mags...I ordered a standard size 320 10-rnd mag on Ebay & the seller said it wont sit flush with the bottom of the X Compact's grip module because of the difference in grip module size between the 320 & 320 Compact??? So Im a bit confused there? Theres no stock # on the X Compact mags so how do u know which ones to buy for it?

[@MrPerry61]

I'm not a big fan of the blade type trigger safety. I had a Springfield Hellcat, a Taurus G3, and a CZ P10 I quickly got rid of them all because of that type of trigger. I now own 3 sigs, a sp2022, a p365xl, and the newest a x compact. I just like the smooth trigger face.

[@j228rod]

I am a big fan of steel Sig classic P series guns ( the P226 and P229). When the P320 was first released and had the drop-safety issues, I had the opinion that maybe Sig should stay out of the polymer arena and thought that I'd never buy a Sig polymer gun. The X-Compact has totally changed my mind. For me, it's pretty much the perfect compact sized carry pistol. Since I've gotten the X-Compact, my HK P30 LEM is seeing a lot more time in the safe...
