Glock vs M&P vs XD comparison with world champion shooter, Jerry Miculek 

A black belt is just a guy who finally gets the white belt stuff right.

Word

If you think about it, bullets are just tiny bombs, controlled by a steel tube. That should keep you safety minded a bit more perhaps. But some people just don't care enough until they actually shoot themselves by accident.

@@EricLing64 I've never known anyone that happened to, and I know lots of gun owners. I do know of a few negligent discharges from assuming a weapon wasn't loaded, but they were always in a safe direction

***** I misspoke but what I actually meant was external safeties.

+Miculek.com- The Leaders in Gun Control! I bought a glock it is a good shooter it is a model 17 gen 4 9mm but if I had it to do over I would have bought the smith and Wesson. From everything I am seeing the S&W is as good as or better than the glock and is around $200 less in my area.

+tdej80 pls check www.glockstore.com and you can see the diffrence, you can customize your glock gun

+Murat Akkemik If you're talking about after market parts and such you can do the same with M&P handguns too.

+tdej80 I went into a range/shop today.. confident I was walking out with a M&P45.. no way.. I wasn't going to be upsold. And my luck, was a glock event.. So they let me take both the M&P45 and the Glock21 (.45) out to the range and before I knew it, I was buying the glock... and I'm happy with it. I think it comes down to your hand. What feels good, and allows a good trigger pull.. counts for a lot. I shot better with the glock. Both are known for quality and reliability. I'll still buy a S&W M&P45 or the 9mm. But I feel no regrets with my purchase.

Yes! That's the one I picked

Dick Wang, very insightful

Amen. Mr. M is a class act 100%

Well said!

I've been in competitions and seen Jerry shoot many times in the last ten years... The man is truly a legend and his skills are super human.

Jerry you are the man.

You’ll notice that grip safety when you must pull your gun in an awkward way during a self defense encounter and the handgun does not go bang

MrAwsomeshot i

I'll buy it of you sir that in the box g17

When you have guns you don't remember if you ever shot or not, you probably forgot more about shooting than damn near anybody will ever know

that is a gen 3 glock. look at the finger groves and stippling on the grip.

@@zanekrienitz3263 You must have missed where he explained he bought his first Glock in the 1980's, and it's still in the box, likely unfired. 3:22

I totally agree with u.

Agreed

100% the same for me. I went in looking for Sigs and Glocks and I left purchasing the XD. I have never felt a handgun that felt so good in my hand.

I have all three like them all very good guns,just personal choice,don't care for xd grip safety

@@bigmacfullerton7870 It was the M&P Shield or Glock 19 for me. Did all my research on these 2. Just happened to ask to see the XD-9 and the ergonomics of it was so much better then either of the other 2

Finally someone without bias thank for showing both the respects they deserve the world needs more people like you

You dont carry the XD i assume

Well put all very similar firearms only difference is what feels best in your hand... oh and the S&W is $150.00-$200.00 cheaper

Well said... I have a glock for the truck and a couple more in the house... I was raised shooting Glocks and I'm just extremely comfortable with them... I've shot the xd and it seemed like a good gun but I prefer the glock

El Cucuy *M&P

droks510 I couldn’t agree more. I have several XDm’s and have never had a malfunction on any of them. The guns are are comparable, but the grip safety alone puts the XD family well above the others to me. You never read about the accidental discharges from XD’s like you do from Glocks because with Glocks if something catches the trigger, like keys or a piece of a worn leather holster, it goes off. Not so with the XD family. Won’t go off unless that extra grip safety is pressed. And the XDm’s come with three sizes of back straps, so his argument of grip sizes is out the window. Finally, I’m a trigger nerd. The XD family is extremely easy to work on and you can do trigger jobs to get the trigger exactly how you’d want it. Mine is short and crisp like a good 1911. Can’t do that with the weird ass Glock triggers. They XD’s are just awesome guns.

@@srcastic8764 Damn man well said!!! I couldn't agree more with everything you said, it's an amazing pistol and I always feel very safe having it close by.

I just watched a video of a guy that runs a tactical camp saying that "XD's are most likely to puke on a heavy day at the range" I got an XD last December and I've had it out twice with no problems. Any truth to what the guy was saying? Edit: I went back and found the link here's the video of what he's talking about ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PShoOEUjlGg.html

Get a CAA conversion kit for it they’re sick.

@@BPattB none whatsoever.

@@preacherF-15 yeah since I made that comment I've had it out a lot and probably put a couple thousand rounds through it and not had one problem.

@@BPattB Ignore what others say, once you've established that the gun you want or have has been tested by professional competitive shooters, cops, armorers, etc, and declared good. The others do not have better grips and triggers. Nor are they more accurate. The point Jerry is trying to make, I'm trying to make, ANY professional shooter who is being honest with you, is trying to make, is basically that you should weed through the high end defensive pistols, listening to the opinions of professional shooters, armorers, 'smiths, as long as you pay attention to who is paying their paychecks, so you learn which guns are truly top of the line. At that point though, you disregard their opinion. Because once you establish the well made and dependable firearms which have proven themselves as duty weapons, competition weapons, tested weapons...the rest is no longer what's good or bad. It's simply what works for you personally. That's it.

Dettweiler I have that ammo

Yeah man he's great.. I just want to know what slo mo cameras he uses.

+The Tactical Texans You may have missed his point. He was saying that Jerry uses the gun because it is good, and not just because he is getting paid to.

+The Tactical Texans I wouldn't say that I'm stupid at all. "I" can read.

+Rob O (REO3) THIS.

+The Tactical Texans Typical fanboy, shouting out his ignorance before he even read the post.

Have you seen him shoot? He could win competitions with a Hi- Point!

Plus they tell you where your hands go."grip zone"

G R I P Z O N E

Nothing wrong with that I dont see why we have to assign fan boy to whichever brand of pistol we enjoy carrying or shooting best I myself am just a gun fanboy I love all of them

Same. I'm a XDm guy too!

I have the XD in .45. I have to agree on the trigger pull, it breaks clean and crisp. I can shoot nice tight groups with it, and it's comfortable. Great gun.

The m&p is the heaviest so yes it is more accurate because it helps to manage the recoil because of the weight.

What did you have to get fixed?

Yep. Glocks do have to be fixed a lot.😄

@@robs4517 do they? I have heard exactly the opposite

Springfield X.D. .45 ACP 14 shot Tactical ROCKS!

@Tim Noneyabusiness Glock stinks like a bad ass

My P99 was my first handgun and has been fantastic. Has never had a single malfunction of ANY type.

DaVuddha A friend of mine had an HK VP70 back in the 70’s. I remember it being space cadet ugly with a truly HORRENDOUS trigger pull. Had to be at least 20 lbs. Not kidding.

jeremy doblinger, he’d ask them if they are sure they want to rob him. If they say “sure” all they’d hear is his timer beep before he goes Guinness world record 3 gun on them.

Read all the responses up to this one; 'bout choked on a potato chip. Laughed so hard. Fun reading what you all have to say. Me: I have all 3 and have shot them side-by-side. Guess what? They all go bang, they all hit where I'm aiming, they're all good. Glad you all own something and hopefully you're all out training, competing, dry firing, and are safe and responsible.

I disagree about the timer... he probably doesn’t need the timer... can give you the splits from experience...

The last thing they hear is *BEEP*

you won't regret it

I have the 40. I absolutely love it. The trigger is smooth and it sits higher in the hand for a good line of sight

+efred22, the overwhelming majority of that entire video has been debunked in its own comments section. It's nothing but a clickbait hit piece to boost John's view count. There are several points in that video that are flat out lies. Extremely disappointing to see a formerly reputable firearms trainer sink to this level, but not surprising after his allying himself with Kaepernick.

efred22 how many times are you going to post this? Btw, can you develop your own opinion or do you rely on others' videos?

Grip zone

Recently got a P-07 and it is amazing

I agree. I own a CZ 527 carbine and it's a great little rifle. That's one of the biggest reasons I chose a CZ pistol. Great value for your money IMO.

i just got the newish sig sp2022 in 9mm, its also new to the polymer world, but i freakin love it. the sig trigger and tritium sights set it apart for a 500 dollar gun, CZ's are amazing too

***** I don't own an M&P, but thanks for the info. CZ is probably one of the toughest and most reliable guns on the planet though. Which is what I own.

Michael Lingard yeah, i love cz's buuut i wouldnt say their the toughest, they are nice guns, but their are others id trust more to throw in the sand and work every time

How is this different than M&P?

Owning all 3 of these guns, they all are easy to disassemble with simple tools, all easy to modify, and all 3 have many after market modifications. For me the only mods that matter are night sights and a lighter shorter trigger pull. Anything after that is pretty much just competition or for looks.

@@commonsense7787 The Glock has been around longer and has much higher acceptance among law enforcement and military. This acceptance leads to more aftermarket support. I am not saying the M&P isn't a good pistol or that it hasn't been proven by law enforcement, or that it doesn't have some aftermarket support. But I just haven't seen nearly the level of acceptance the Glock has, nor the dizzying array of aftermarket support. The Glock also has a more complete lineup, and this helps draw a larger crowd. With the M&P you're limited primarily to 9mm and .40, with a few .45 models thrown in almost as an after-thought. With the Glock, you have those calibers in multiple different configurations, as well as cartridges like the 10mm Auto and the .357 SIG. The 10mm in particular gives the Glock the potential to reach markets other than personal defense. The 10mm Glocks are popular among outdoorsmen looking for protection against wildlife, and are issued in this capacity to several agencies in Alaska and Norway. I love my Gen III Glock 20. It is the pistol that got me into Glocks. I'd love it if S&W came out with an M&P 10, esp an optics ready model, but they don't, and this limits their market acceptance.

@@916meds5 I disagree. Caliber conversions are immensely popular modifications that can add a lot of potential to a handgun. Some people don't want a 9mm. The support available for the Glock far exceeds those of other designs, and draws a larger crowd. Try getting an M&P in 9x25 Dillon. Or 10mm Auto for that matter. The Glock 20 possibly saved the 10mm cartridge, kept it relevant, and the 10mm Glocks are still very popular in my neck of the woods for protection from wildlife. You just have more options with the Glock. It has been around longer, accepted by more agencies and military units, and its acceptance in the market place reflects this. If you want a 9mm or a .40, there is any number of good options for you. If you want something else, your options go down. The large frame Glocks have about a dozen different cartridges you can convert them to. And really the only trusted name in town right now for a 10mm is Glock. I know Springfield makes some XDs in 10mm now, but nobody who really runs their guns trusts the XD like the Glock. It just doesn't have the following and hasn't been proven for serious duty use like the Glock has.

fired it once every decade?

Thanks for the correction

***** No problem bud, keep doing what you do!

Actually, S&W made the first polymer pistol (Nylon) many years ago, but the president of the company at the time said, as far as he was concerned, S&W will never make and market a plastic pistol, so the project was shelved and the prototype destroyed! Luckily, as new leaders came in, that policy was ousted! (This info comes from the AGI video tour of S&W and it's present historian) AGI = American Gunsmithing Institute

I used to own a H&K VP70Z while stationed in Germany back in 1982. It was not accurate at all.

@ David - pretty funky looking handgun too IIRC

Maybe but I though I was watching CNN.

Jerry is a fantastic shooter but that doesn't make him equally well versed with tech and new developments hence the mistakes. Do you really think Michael Schumacher knows anything about the engineering that goes into VW passat?

Well said!

Actually no offense to the man Jerry but he hardly knew how to disassemble an Xd, you lock the slide back and push the tab up then release the slide then pull the trigger. From beginning to end, the Xd is actually the ashtray to disassemble even faster then the Glock because people don’t take into consideration that you have to rack the slide and pull the trigger first before you disassemble it, they just count the little bit you pull the slide back and release the tabs so they think it’s the fastest.

Paul Harrell, for 1...........just sayin

If you have to step up to another level of firearm to compete with another companies base model, you just lost.

Also, would you please consider doing a 10mm semi-auto pistol roundup? I'd love to know what you think about the cartridge, and to see your pick (I'm guessing it'll be the Glock 20). Would also love to see you review USA-made .44 Magnum revolvers against a .44 Mag Desert Eagle...

In case you didn't see it (you had to click 'Read more' above to see that part of my comment), please also consider reviewing one or more .300 Win Mag Semi-Auto ARs such as the Miller Precision Arms MPA-300 Guardian, the .300 Win Mag OMEN by NEMO Arms, Inc., or the Noreen Arms 'Bad News' .300 Win Mag AR, all made in the USA, and semi-auto for those of us who want, and can handle, a bit more boom than .308 Winchester AR-10s can offer!

I have several Springfield's and the XDM Compact in 45 is my absolute favorite !

yeah im definitely keeping that one for my lexicon

Absolutely agree with you!!!

I have a cz75 and it just feels so nice in the hand. I shoot it so much better than any other gun I own including my M&P. I've wondered if the polymer frames would shoot just as nice tho.

Ellopez05 Yeah, my buddy has a 75b, and it's amazing, but my P-09 is just as good. In fact, he's always bugging me to trade him, but my P-09 is my nightstand gun, so I like the slightly higher capacity. I'd say both are just excellent firearms.

how do you like it?

+Blunt Force Trauma Going through his videos it doesn't seem like he has many more videos on MPs than he does any other firearms he uses a lot. At the point hes at in his career and shoot skill level I cant think of many reasons he would even need to cater to a sponsor. When you are one of, if not THE biggest names in the industry youd have to be fed some pretty tasty peanuts to make it worth ditching your self respect and integrity for a company you don't actually support.As someone whos owned glocks and smith and wessons the reason he opts for the MP seems pretty clear to me... They are just better.

+Blunt Force Trauma Funny, because as someone who actually owned a Bodyguard the trigger was, in my opinion, one of the redeeming factors of the gun. Mine had a smooth double action pull and while on the range and doing dry fire practice with a Dry-fire laser I found that my accuracy with the Bodyguard was about on par with my accuracy with the Glock 43.As far as your "strength to pull" argument goes im guessing you've never actually fired a Bodyguard but instead are just going by what you've heard about D/A triggers. My Bodyguard's trigger was smooth right up to the break then it cleared the wall with a clean click.In my opinion the bodyguard isn't a BAD gun, its just not my cup of tea. I also found that, for WHATEVER reason, I actually had an easier time pulling the trigger accurately with my OFF hand rather than my strong hand. I have zero idea why but its something I vividly remember about the pistol. If you have a hard time pulling the trigger on a Bodyguard 380 then my advice is that your fingers are rather weak and you either shouldn't be using a D/A handgun or you just need to strengthen your fingies.

Just go to church and try to treat people right and you'll be just like him
