Gen 4 Glock 26 vs. Smith & Wesson M&P 9c: The Glock Killer?

About this video

Colion compares the Glock 26 (Gen 4) to the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9C as compact concealed carry options, evaluating aesthetics, ergonomics, trigger design, features, capacity, and overall suitability. He describes his personal experience owning both firearms and explains why he ultimately prefers the Glock 26 despite acknowledging strengths in the M&P’s design. Colion emphasizes that his analysis reflects his own preferences and that firearm choice should be tailored to the individual.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues the M&P has a more visually interesting design with purposeful lines and texturing, while the Glock’s simplicity has its own appeal.
• Colion strongly criticizes the M&P’s two-piece trigger design and unclear reset, preferring the Glock’s positive, tactile trigger reset for safety and performance.
• Colion concludes he personally prefers the Glock 26 for concealed carry due to its proven reliability, compact profile, and ergonomics (particularly the trigger guard indentation), though he views the M&P as a close second and still trustworthy.
