M&P's just feel so much more comfortable to me. Neither one is really "better" than the other, some prefer the Glock's trigger, some prefer the ergonomics of the M&P, they're both great choices. Good luck on making the decision. 
+1 to this. And todays market Id say those are pretty decent prices for those 2 pistols. Ive got the m&p I just like the way it feels in the hand and I like the lines of the gun It actually looks good instead of blocky looking. Light small conceals and shoots good.M&P's just feel so much more comfortable to me.

If it is a Generation 4 Glock 26, the magazine release can be changed for a left handed or right handed person. The owners manual shows you how to do it as well. I switched my Glock 17 Generation 4 for my son in about 5 minutes. I bought a Generation 4 Glock 27 last weekend and it came with three 9 round magazines and two changeable backstraps.Well I went shooting today to try out some more weapons. Below are what new guns I shot today
Sig 239- comfortable, nice trigger, I didn't like the grip. I'm also not looking for a DA/SA.
Walther PPQ- didn't like the mag release in the trigger guard and it had more recoil. Bigger than I want for a CCW.
Beretta PX4sc- hated the mag. It was so stiff it made loaded a pain in the a**. Gun shot well but not looking for a DA/SA gun or one with a manual safety
I had previously shot a Glock 26/27, M&P 9c/40c, Ruger SR9c, Springfield XD9c/40c. I posted my thoughts on those in a previous post.
So I have narrowed it down to the M&P9c and the Glock 26. They are really neck and neck. It's going to be a tough choice. I shot both almost identical. Both felt comfortable. I think the M&P has the slight edge with both the slide release and mag release being ambidextrous, since I'm left handed. Other than that they are equal.
I asked the gun store about prices, M&Pc $499 and the Glock 26 gen4 $539. Are those good prices in todays market? And any advice as to why I should pick one over the other? Please don't just tell me which one to pick unless you have a reason why over the other. Like I said they are neck and neck so I am really looking for people who have shot both and then decided on one or the other.
Also what does each one come with? It looks like the M&P comes with a case and two mags, one pinky extended and one flat, and three back straps. And it looks like the glock comes with two mags, three back straps, cleaning kit, although I have read the gen 4 comes with 3 mags. But I didn't see anything on their website.
Thanks for all your help.
My department issues the PX4 FS in 40 S&W. I personally liked our Beretta 96's and Sig P229's better but the PX4 is a darn good pistol and is noticeably lighter when carrying it all day. We use the "G" model which is single/double action, has a decocker and does not have a manual safety.Although my previous EDC weapon was a M&P9c, I now carry a Px4 Compact (and love it). I had nothing but trouble with my S&W so between the two you've listed, I'd go with the G26!
I some what agree with this but I Hated the way glocks felt in my hand until I actually fired it. Once I fired the glock I really liked the way it handled. I Loved the way the Kahr Pm9 felt in my hand but I hated the gun when I finally got to shoot it after I bought it. I think people should really try their best to fire the gun they are interested in. It sucks when you cant shoot a gun until you buy it then you find you hate it.I would pick whichever pistol felt the best in my hand, as both are excellent choices. I personally like the feel of the sub compact Glocks in my hand and shoot them well, but will admit the M&P's do feel better overall(except the trigger). I am learning to shoot my M&P Shield better. The thin grip is hard to get used to after shooting Glocks and full size Berretas for years.
