Today: I got the chance to shoot the M&P and Sig with
different slide mounted dot sites on each side by side to do a comparison. I still want a pistol with a dot, just not
sure which direction I should go.
I really like the Sig and the M&P. I’ve been carrying the M&P9 for about 5
years now and really like it. Smith is
trying to update the platform but not doing it fast enough to keep up with the
market at this point. They should be out
with all the Red dots on top of them, but they are not yet. I think it’s a marketing ploy that they are
waiting to introduce the M&P 2.0 with slide mounted dot.
The only thing keeping me from switching to the Sig 320 is
money. It’s an incredible amount of
money to switch platforms, holsters, magazines, training time, back up gun, and
the like make the endeavor way more than just buying a pistol and
switching.
Here’s what I found shooting them side by side:

Why I like the Sig:
Natural Pointing and AimGood TriggerHigh Bore Access (Feels like shooting a 1911)Manual Safety OptionGreat Feeling Guns always liked the 250 when it
came outLots of Options
Why I like the Smith & Wesson M&P
Great Grip Angle and FeelShoot StraightWorks better than a Glock for meSmith was going the right way with optics and
then chokedNew M&P makes the old one better in almost
every wayHaven’t been able to break it… totally yet.

all with it, but the sig outshot it on the slow fire groupI think it was the clarity of the optic over the
gunBut I have outshot groups with the Sig over my
M&P beforeI will not be putting and RMR on anything, I
will be buying a RomeoIf I had unlimited funds I’d probably switch to
the Sig 320 pistols and just go with them… but I’ll probably be buying another
M&P and putting a Romeo 1 on it
