I have a good friend who's a certified Glock armorer and Federal LEO. He was interning with a Fed Agency the first time he shot a Sig-Sauer, and he shot a perfect score on their qual course. He now carries an M&P9c as his authorized backup to his agency issued P229R. He believes the M&P9c is more mechanically accurate than the G26. He's a natural talent who can make head shots on a standard silhouette at 25 yards, off hand, with subcompact autos. I also shoot M&Ps better than I shoot Glocks, but I believe that has more to do with gun fit in my case. YMMV, but the M&P line has eclipsed Glock, IMO.No contest, the Glock 26 is the leader and S&W is playing catch up and follow the leader as usual
Either way, the M&P9c and the G26 are great pistols. It's pretty clear that the G26 just isn't as good a fit for the OP's hands as the M&P9c is. Because of that the M&P9c is the best choice in this situation.
Reverse the situation, where he owns an M&P9c, but shoots Glocks better; and I'd recommend selling the M&P to get a G26.
You have to look at the factors objectively, and not let emotional attachment to a brand prevent you from reasoning logically.
