Glocks are great reliable guns. If your looking at 9mm the Glocks have the 33 round mags that are very cheap and easy to find. Also there are a lot of options for the Glock and the mags. Carbine conversions, AR's, Keltec sub 2000's etc that use the Glock mag and pistol frame.
Biggest think I don't like about Glocks is the shape. Squared off, large grip and uncomfortable to carry or conceal. I'll go as far as saying kind of crude, like a squared off 2x4. Glock doesn't seem to take any pride in workmanship. Here's your block of steel/plastic we just didn't have time to finish it up and make it nice.
M&P's are a lot nicer IMO. If you see an M&P you can change the grip to fit your hand, no looking for the right generation to "FINALLY" get that feature. Smith actually takes the time to round off the edges, contour and finish the gun. Very accurate easy to use. No reaching to trip the slide release etc.
If you can get your hands on a Pro Series M&P I would strongly suggest that as the way to go. Awesome trigger and great accuracy. Really nice fiber optic sights.
The only thing is no high capacity mags, 33 rounds, for the M&P. Guess that's never been a big deal as I've never "run" out with just 17 rounds.
Get down to your local shop and handle a few to see what fits you and what you like. You can't go wrong with either one for reliability etc. I've had more than one person admit regret over their purchase of a Glock, FN, Ruger or Springfield XD after handling and shooting my M&P Pro Series 9mm.
