Bottomfeeder = mag fed
I am not an expert on either Glock or S&W M&P's, but, I personally have both Glock and S&W M&P "bottom feeders" as the saying goes.
I cut my teeth on the old M&P .38's in the Army, as well as the 1911 .45's.
I enjoy the different aspects of each. The greatest part of the M&P are the improvements that won me over versus what the Glock has in .45
The replaceable backstraps, the loaded chamber indicator, just as easy to clean, the incentive for rebate or free mags, the fact the Sheriff Dept in my area switched to it, etc
I used to believe .45 in 1911 was the way to go, but, it is hard to argue with having extra rounds in each mag, a nice grip, easy return to target, etc.
The Glock is comfortable, but, it is generally a one size fits all...you can make the grip bigger with grips overlays, but smaller isn't an option.
The compacts are comparable to the full size in the S&W M&P series too. The Glock compacts seem uncomfortable to me, I have to change my grip due to the small size in comparison to the full sized model.
I plan on getting the M&P 45C as soon as I can afford to, I am still keeping the Glock as well. Never get rid of one that has worked well for me in the past.
