[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3351518, member: 5316"] I don’t consider myself a Glock person. I have been shooting M&Ps for several years. A few years ago I started competing in Glock specific (GSSF) matches. Because of this, I spent considerable time training and carrying Glocks. Still when I pick up a M&P, it feels better to me. Don’t get me wrong, I still do pretty well with a Glock, better than most. The M&P is just a bit more natural to me and my scores tend to be slightly better. Earlier this year I shot a match with three entries. 2 Glocks and an M&P. My best total time was the M&P by about 4%. I had not shot any of my M&Ps in a few months vs the two Glocks I had fired regularly trying to focus on the GSSF competitions. There still is not a lot of difference. They are still very similar. If you keep an open mind and shoot both long enough time form a valid opinion, you will likely find a favorite. I’m not talking about a couple of magazines. I’m talking about several hundred to several thousand. It is an investment most will not make. Neither will be a fix for poor fundamentals. But spending considerable time with both should produce a preference to one or another.... “for that particular person”. It may be only that it just feels more familiar to you and you cannot get past that. In my case, it clearly shows up on a timer in first shot times and splits on the same target. Less so in the first shot on a subsequent target. I feel comfortable with either and don’t really feel I’m shorting myself when carrying either. I do acknowledge I could likely do slightly better dropping one platform or another after a length of time. But I enjoy experimenting with different platforms and trying to develop my skill with them. [/QUOTE]
