One thing I've always wondered is why there is such a huge disparity in price between a Glock and S&W M&P? Right now the S&W M&P 2.0 is $379 on Grabagun, vs. a G19 5th gen is $594 (or thereabouts). And the same on the secondary market.

I'm not an armorer. Is it quality? or brand religiosity, like Harley Davidson?

MadPick and I have great fun tossing insults at each other re: the Glock vs. S&W M&P models. But even Ford and Chevy are roughly comparable in quality/longevity/features.

Glocks are Nikes, M&P's are Reeboks. And everyone knows Reeboks suck!

You get what you pay for.

Glocks are Toyota Camrys and M&Ps are Honda Accords.

And while I trust a Glock to work every time, I would much rather have an M&P in my hands because they just feel better to me and I prefer shooting them.
And they're made in America! Go USA!!

There ya go, talking smack again.

Yeah Glocks are Austrian, so the Tariff are making them cost more. Fucking Trump.

I have both and like them both, in different ways..

The big difference for me, is that I can make a Glock trigger 'nice' for ~$35 , but it takes $150 or so to get a M&P trigger I like..

Its like eating a turd muffin or a poo sammich. Its don't matter which costs more, they both taste like shit!

Manufacturers, in general, have been known to adjust pricing in order to change their market share numbers.

Although I love my Shield...Well said.

Glock built a successful brand and is cashing in on it. If sales are strong, why lower the pricing?

In my opinion based on my experience M&Ps are just as reliable as Glocks. Were there recalls on M&Ps? Yes, but Glock has had recalls too, so to me it's a wash there. If one feels and shoots better for you, get it. Having trained a lot with both, I greatly prefer the M&Ps (with $40 Apex triggers). Toyota doesn't budge on their pricing, cause they know people will buy one anyway. Same thing here.

Well that settles the 650 vs lnl argument :)

Glock > M&P solely because M&P has yet to get off their asses and make a 10mm

By that logic, XD > M&P, which is sheer insanity.

Although, gotta say S&W really does need to get off their asses and make a 10mm M&P. Being heavily invested in the 40 game I can reload 10mm for almost the same as 40 (just a bit more powder) and I really want a 10mm for the woods.
