M&P40c vs g27

[SixPointEight]

I know it's been asked before, but I'm looking for some opinions on the two. If you've owned one, or both, throw your thoughts out. I just sold an XD and am looking to pick up a carry gun. I was originally set on the M&P, but now it's out of stock, and exceptionally hard to find at the moment. The Glock 27 is however in stock.

In my mind the pros of the Glock are that it fits my Glock 19 holster, it has the same ergonomics to simplify training, and it's points the same as my 19. My holdback is mostly that, I reload, and I've seen the stories of the glock .40's and case head failures. I know most of these are attributed to bad reloading practices or double charges etc.

The main pro of the M&P is the outright better designed grip mostly. The biggest downside is I'll have to pout some money into the trigger, and a new holster, because I hate the impossible to locate reset on the M&P.

Anyone have anything to add to either side? If you reload .40 for your glock, what do you look for in your brass to ensure that the case head is still strong? Or do you just stick to low pressure loads and reload as usual? I'd be reloading plated 180gr bullets at low to moderate pressure levels.


Thanks

I can smell it coming... mmmmm glock vs any other kind of gun thread...

Get the glock if you like glocks better. Get the M&P if you like it better. They are both reliable guns, will work and do what they need to do.

I would get the M&Pc because I do not like the ergos on the glock. The M&P has great ergos, IMO. I would still use the glock if I could not use the M&P.

You have a lot to think about. I feel for you.

I am a 1911 guy,I carry a 1911 almost daily. I say almost because sometimes I will carry my Glock 27. I have allot of other guns I could carry but the 27 is the back up when for whatever reason the 1911s get the day off.

I also own a G-22c, XDm-40 and a Beretta in .40. I reload allot of .40. I do not separate the cases am not worried about the "Glock bulge" and have never had an issue with my .40 reloads in any of my guns. I size and inspect my .40 the same as my .45, 9mm, .38 and .357. No extra measures need to be taken good solid reloading practices and sticking to your reloading data is all that is needed with .40 as with any other load.

I know it'll happen, but hopefully there will be nuggets of good information thrown in.

I gotta try to shoot both back to back. The local range only has the M&P in 9, none of the small guns in .40 around. So I'll have to see what I can do
