![]() It's also a much more pleasing gun visually than the Glock, M&P, and the XD. Second, the 509 is without question the best out of the box gun on this list, with maybe the exception of the not so compact VP9. It's far more full size than a Glock 19 or 509, albeit certainly a really excellent shooting gun. Well I have to say after reading this article that the author has an "interesting perspective" on things in my mind.įIrst off, The VP9 really isn't a compact pistol. HK offered that a long time ago, just as they pioneered polymer long before Glock. There will be no end to this, as others move to modular trigger units, we will be able to outfit a small attache case of grips, slides and magazines for specific conditions, all based off just one trigger unit. That's why SIG amplified that modularity with the P365, and if you consider the XL model, you're tapping on the compact door from the other direction. ![]() It doesn't require buying a whole new gun. ![]() Point being, if you really don't like a P320 - change the grip unit, keep your trigger. Colt made that mistake and it's hurt them for years. Goes to their evident bias in selling arms to military and LEO's, not the people. They aren't really innovating any more and certainly took their time getting a single stack in the line up. Another ten after that and they will have used models shipping to C&R collectors. The modular trigger unit is a concept that has shoved traditional framed guns to the back of the line - including Glock, who is, if you think about it, approaching 40 years old. If I have one gripe it's that they haven't offered something like the P320. They are owned by an aeronautical supplier to Airbus and Lockheed, they have the bones to do high quality work. At $200 UNDER most of the ones mentioned they are definitely a lot of bang for the buck. It's basically a Walther yet they have done their own work, qualified for NATO issue by passing the testing, and are an excellent firearm. What am I missing? Is there THAT much difference between the Full Size & Compact M&P2.0 models when compared to the Glock 19? If so, can those differences please be identified? Post's "Best Compact" list also puts the Glock 19 at #1, but I was then surprised to see four other pistols listed before the list mentions the M&P2.0 "Compact"as #6. PPT's "Best Beginner" list puts the Glock 19 Compact as #1 (& that's just fine) and puts the "Full Size" M&P2.0 right behind it at #2. HOWEVER, after I read PPT's "Best Beginner Handgun" & "Best Compact Pistol" lists here, I'm again confused. That's how I got to what I thought was my choice However, the Compact seemed like a more versatile overall choice because, using the 17+1 magazine (& spacer), it has the same capacity & height as the Full Size, but, when using the 15+1 magazine, it might be better for CC use than the Full Size. ![]() Their specs seemed really close to each other. Previously, I decided to start looking for the Compact 4" model rather than the Full Size 4.25". I'm now confused about choosing between two of S&Ws 9mm M&P2.0 models. We have a full breakdown of the generations and a full review of the Gen 5 Glock 19. Glock’s come in three generations for you to buy - Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5.
