Hey guys. been awhile sense ive made a post here. im looking for advice for my home defense handgun. Im debating between my Glock 45 9mm and my M&P 45.
currently i carry a Glock 43x, i am not looking to change this as I shoot this gun so well and i find it very comfortable to carry. So i had been using my Glock 45 with a Streamlight TLR-7 for home defense. I shoot this gun very well however, sense I live in a capacity restricted state I've been debating switching to a 45 ACP handgun sense im limited to 10 rounds anyway. I have an M&P which holds 10 rounds of 45 but it lacks nights sights and i have far less trigger time with it. Also I loose the advantage of having both my guns have the same grip angle and controls.
I understand that the best option here would probably be to buy a Glock 21 or 20 but id rather put that money into upgrading my pocket gun from a P-32 to an LCP 2 or Glock 42.
Also for what its worth both my Glock 45 and 43X have the same Ameriglo Night sights while the M&P has standard 3 dots so id probably have to buy new sights if i switched to the M&P. Also the M&P has a thumb safety which none of my other carry guns do.
So is it worth the switch to the M&P or should I stick with my Glock?
What to use is the easiest question to answer you may have ever asked. Use the gun that you shoot the most accurate and feel comfortable using. The 2nd requirement is follow up shots. Remember, in a dangerous situation even the best shooters don't hit the first time. If your gun is pointed at the ceiling and you can't get off a follow up shot, then that could be as fatal as using a heavier caliber.
