Glock, Ruger, or S&W?

G26; no contest, IMO. I never liked Glocks, and I wanted to dislike them even more because of all the fanboys. Then I finally tried one. Now I own a G19, and am looking forward to adding a G26, G34, and possibly a G30.

ETA: People seem to be claiming the SR9c has the best trigger of the three. IMO, the Glock has the best, and the M&P has the worst.

I'd be inclined to agree...until you pull the bang switch on a Shield.

I just saw your posts about your new Shield last night. :p congrats man. BTW, I was referencing the trigger on the M&P9. I didnt enjoy the trigger pull on that gun, but IDK if the Shield's trigger feels the same.

S&W is supposedly upgrading the entire line to mimic the Shield trigger.

The M&Ps from FS to Compact feel nothing like the Shield, and I agree that it is a smart decision to change them.

I looked at the exact same pistols and chose the ruger sr9c. I WANTED a thumb safety and if the mag disconnect is an issue, just take it out. The LCI is a non issue. It can't harm anything if it malfunctions. Worst case scinerio, it gets stuck up. Who cares? The gun is always treated as loads anyway. And, if you don't like the thumb safety don't engage it. It's got a pretty secure positive lock and I've never had mine accidentally engage or disengage.

I chose the ruger because 1) it fits in my hand beautifully. 2)the trigger is FANTASTIC(way better than the glock or any other IMO. Of course these are very personal prefs). 3) the ability to make the weapon quickly serviceable but very safe in an environment full of kids by taking advantage of the safety features. If you train with the thumb safety, it is a non-issue.

Just to state the obvious, the "best trigger" is a very personal and experience driven choice. Try them yourself. Choose what you like. And note that your preferences may change over time. 'Best trigger' isn't like best ammo. There are objective tests for ammo. There are some objective tests for a trigger (weight, travel, etc) but you can quantify 'feel'.

Glock because of reliability, ease of maintenance, and the aftermarket for parts to fine-tune it to your preference.

I owned a Ruger LC9 and wasn't that happy with the quality. I owned an M&P40C and was completely dissatisfied with the trigger (I am in Massachusetts, though).

Glock is a step above Ruger and S&W when it comes to reliability and simple quality, in my opinion. The Glocks are really a feat of engineering simplicity. It's what a tool should be: Simple, reliable, and useful.
 
I had an early SR9 and finally sold it because I wasn't happy with the trigger. I've heard later ones are better so it would be my first choice because the ergonomics were great for me.

The Smith would be my second choice - I've never handled one, though.

My third choice would be anything but a Glock. I wouldn't take a Glock if you gave it to me.
 
^^^^ now you just completely discredited yourself. Blind hate of a platform is not intelligent or helpful.

Find friends that have the guns and try them for yourself.

He didn't indicate he had blind hate for the platform. He may have more experience with one than you do and just doesn't like them.

At any rate, the OP's got enough to chew on by now.
