Glock 22 or S&W M&P 40 SHTF sidearm

[Mike1911]

I read the thread on the AR15 SHTF mag. debate. Now I ask you this:

Glock 22 or S&W M&P 40 SHTF sidearm?

I know you're going to say the M&P is limited to only 10 rounds (in Mass. anyways) and the Glock 22 has 15 rounders (preban, of course) but what would you select?

Thanks.

I loved S&W.

But I'm biased.

M&P and my NH SHTF cache of full cap mags

Depends on whos holding the pistol.

 

[Lignum Vitea]

M&P all the way, a dream to shoot.

If you are in the zombie SHTF situtation as described in the AR-15 post, if you have gotten to the point you are using the pistol, it doesn't matter what you have, you are basically f'd.

With trigger time on both firearms, my vote is for the Glock 22.

 

[Pilgrim]

if it was a Glock or nothing, I MIGHT take the Glock.

 

[jpattersonnh]

A shorter AK!

I'd go Glock. Longer history/track record, and I'd hazard a guess that parts and mags would be a lot easier to find laying around in post-apocalypse times.

If you're limited to 10 rounds, why not go with .45ACP for the S&W?

M&P

 

[dagwag77]

Go with the M&P, but thats just my personal preference. (Just make sure you get a trigger job on that M&P before the zombies start coming!)

hmm... maybe?

Of the 2, I'd take the Glock in .40 Alex!
(though no good will come of it)

 

[wolf223]

M&P

even though I cc a glock 23 (3rd gen), i put night sights on it and a smooth trigger to make tolerable

i shoot better with the M&P40 vs. any glock (especially 2nd Gen)

more mags i guess

 

[nanerclip]

Out of the above two, the M&P. That said, I really prefer the 1911.

 

[Erebus]

If you reach that point where you are fighting off zombies with a handgun save the last one for yourself.

That being said I'll take the S&W.

 

[wolf223]

don't any of you back a sword and UV grenades? WTF?

 

[MasterShinken]

Sig!

You like the bi-tone xds Chet? I dont know which ones next....

 

[punx45]

no vote, since i have no experience with either..
but while shopping around I held a couple M&Ps, and thought they seemed top heavy. is that an issue with any of you M&P lovers?

once i put a loaded mag in my M&P it balanced out nicely, still slightly top heavy, but easy to control/handle IMO

Whoever said using a pistol on Zombies is just a prelude to a new, shuffling, brains-obsessed lifestyle was right on. I'd rather extra AR mags. If I'm shooting them with a pistol I'm probably done for and they're right on top of me.

Indeed the loaded mag balances it out.

Since I dont have an AR I'd pull out the 12 Ga Mossberg with pistol grip, collapsible stock, and breacher
