Whack something with a 10 mm and your mind will be made up, glock 20 all the way.
+1 I just got mine a couple of months ago and am looking forward to whacking a deer next season with it.

NY, I shoot a Glock 22 in the limited major division and put 5000+ through it during each season. Some refer to them as plastic ashtrays, but bottom line is that they run and keep running. You dont have to be a master gunsmith to replace the parts, and there are so many companies out there that make aftermarket parts. Just to make you aware ahead of time, most of the aftermarket parts are configured for the gen1-3. This is because the gen4 slide fitting is just a hair thicker than the gen1 thru 3 pistols. Dont get me wrong, a 1911 is THE original 45, but if you want a no non-sense hi-cap go with a glock.
Just my 2cents,
ERIK

You'd be amazed at how inexpensively you can get into reloading and how easy it really is, especially with a straight wall pistol cartridge.

They're both good guns so I'd simply suggest that you pick the one that fits you better - which will likely be the S&W. While the Glock is arguably a bit easier to "mechanic" on, that's not an issue for most folks.
I prefer Glocks but cannot deny that the Smith & Wesson M&P line has better ergonomics.
Don't discount either pistol for hunting game up to the size of deer at close range. Keep the distance relatively short, refrain from taking bad angle shots and shoot a good +P load. I've taken four deer with four shots, (2) with a Glock 21 and (2) with a Colt 1911 and it worked just fine.

I would go with the mp45 because you can get a 460 rowland conversion and hunt with it.

I'm I the only one on here that likes the fine German engineering of Walther and Heckler & Koch ?
Personally, you couldn't give me a Glock for free. Too many accidental discharges,and they are very hard to shoot in high stress situations due to the different trigger pulls between the 1st & 2nd shots. Once the local cops were allowed to carry anything they wanted, most of them dropped the department issued Glocks in favor of the H & K P2000 or Kimbers. I learned this directly from police buddies.
