Like it says...which and why? I know what I think I want but I am torn between the two. I need help weighing the pros and cons of each from the M4 brain trust. Thanks in advance.

Need more info....duty belt? Concealed?
Also....why the 9mm glock and a .40 M&P? Why not a 9mm M&P as well?
Are these guns you already own? Or are they issued?
Does your agency provide ammo for one or both? Do you have a choice of duty ammo, and if so, what are they? Or are you provided with one specifically?
How much experience do you have with either?
Do you have armorer level support at your agency, or you expected to provide your own?
Are modifications to the gun allowed, or are they defined by your agency? (I.e., could you put the apex kit in the M&P? How about a 3.5 connector in the glock? Are you limited to type of sights? There are more...)
These are just a few of the questions I would want answered before providing advice, and that is just what at near 1 am as I get ready to fall asleep

i would choose the glock 19
due to experience with it and therefore comfort
both should do fine however
The M&P is sized in-between the Glock 17 and Glock 19.
I suggest the OP spend some more time reading. There is a plethora of information on both of these guns on this forum, and neither one would be a bad choice.
Most of the responses this type of thread will garner will be people simply listing their preferences.

Based on this I'd lean towards the M&P, since it sounds like it'll spend more time on the belt vs. concealed, and you seem to have a firm desire to carry something chambered in .40. I happen to agree that it's one of the best handguns in that caliber. It'll be more ergonomic than the G19, and you can address its major shortcoming with the Apex kit without incurring the wrath of the department.
Take a look at the article DocGKR posted a bit ago...
