If buying a polymer and it's between one of these two which would you go with? Thinking .45 if it makes a difference.

I agree ^^. I have a XDM and I love it. People with Glocks will tell you the same. Go hold or shoot both. Buy what feels best.

I vote glock. Easier to take apart. When society decays sooner or later there will be more spare parts to be had.

If the trigger reset was as good as the Glock I would never own another Glock. The mp is the much better shooting weapon.

Never could get my follow-up shots the way I like them with it though.

personal preference, you really need to shoot both and then make a decision. both are fine guns
also whats the primary use?

the reset on the M&P is shorter. glock has more of an assisted reset, though i.e. it pushes harder. you have to let off of the M&P a little more

I absolutely hate the feel of a. 45 Glock. The grip just feels huge. Now I know how small handed shooters feel.

The long barrel XDM is a tack driver of a pistol.

I have a G23. I just bought a 1911 as a carry and now want to go all .45. I have a guy that will trade straight up my 23 for a XDM 45. Was just curious what the OB thought.

That would be a good trade.

My other option being sell my 23 and buy another glock in .45. Mainly as a truck/nightstand gun.
