GLOCK 17 Gen 4 vs M&P 9 Shooting Review

About this video

Colion presents his shooting review comparing the Smith & Wesson M&P9 and the Glock 17 Generation 4. He evaluates both handguns across multiple criteria including recoil management, trigger quality, sights, and accuracy, sharing his personal experience and preferences with each platform. Despite describing himself as a Glock fanboy, Colion concludes that he would choose the M&P9 based on comfort, shootability, and his personal accuracy with the platform.

Key takeaways

• Colion finds the M&P9 has superior recoil management compared to the Glock 17, making it feel softer and easier to control during rapid fire
• According to Colion, while the M&P9 trigger lacks a tactile or audible reset, it performs better with live fire than dry fire suggests, and he prefers the M&P9’s three-dot Novak sights over Glock’s stock sights
• Colion reports being more accurate with the M&P9, stating it points more naturally and allows faster sight acquisition, leading him to prefer it over the Glock 17 despite his admitted Glock bias
