1) If anyone handed me a Glock or an M&P, and said ,"It's yours, for free and legally!" I'd be happy to have it. Or even "It's yours, at a crazily low price, and legally!"
2) That said, I find Glocks (though IMO perfectly pleasant to shoot) pretty ugly. Something about that grip angle bugs me, visually, even though they feel OK when actually shooting. It's like the Ruger Mk Is with tapered barrels -- just plain ugly for some reason.
3) I find the M&Ps uglier yet I shot an M&P last March at an outdoor range in MD, and it shot and cycled well, though, no complaints.
With guns, like girls, it would be a lot more convenient to be indifferent rather than obsessed with essentially cosmetic external differences. But that's not how the brain (at least mine!) works -- so I've only got guns which I think are visually as well as functionally appealing.
If it were me, and the choice were between the M&P and Glock, I'd try to throw the XD on the list, too I like the grip angle, the grip safety, and (despite its obvious Glock influence) overall look better than either of the first two.
