S&W M&P9 M2.0 Compact
The direct competitor to the Glock 19, and in some respects it answers better. Four interchangeable backstraps instead of two, a grip angle that's more natural for most people, and an Armornite finish that resists corrosion very well. The main gap in Glock's favor is availability in Israel, not performance.
What's good about it
- Four backstraps — a precise fit to your hand
- Armornite finish that stands up exceptionally well to sweat and corrosion
- A more comfortable grip angle than Glock for most shooters
What's less good
- Fewer holsters and parts in Israel than Glock
- Slightly heavier
- Mediocre trigger on the base version
