Is the shield better than Glock?
In my opinion, the Glock seems to have a better feel and be of a higher overall quality than the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield. They’re both polymer, striker-fired handguns with nitrided slides, so there’s not a ton of difference between them, but the Glock texturing on the frame just seems to add value over the Shield.

As far as ease of maintenance, the Glock 26 (like all Glocks) can be field stripped in seconds without requiring the use of any kind of disassembly tool — only downside to this is the user has to pull the trigger to field strip the gun, which can be dangerous if there’s a round chambered in it and the user isn’t careful enough to check.
What’s the difference between Glock 26 and m & p9?

What are the characteristics of a Glock subcompact?
All Glock subcompacts share the same defining physical attribute: they have a short fat grip and a short slide, i.e. they’re all ugly as sin (to me at least). Other than their appearance, they work pretty much like their bigger compact and full-size brothers — they’re all reliable.
