Should I sell the XD9? Stick with one platform?

Sounds like you just need to work on fundamentals. Fundamentals are just that, fundamentals. Once you get it, you can use them across all platforms successfully. Generally speaking, a glock won't shoot anymore differently than any other polymer striker fired gun. You'll just have slightly different ergonomics across the different guns.

IF you want to stick to one family of firearms, go for it! it's your money/time/hobby/choice.

And of course, the forum favorite, get em all, practice to your hearts content with one platform and save the other platform for fun and the occasional something different when you get a little bored. Your XD sounds like it's set up to your liking, I vote keep it and get more stuff. You never know, you might find yourself coming back to the XD after some time.

Keep the XD as a HD gun

The funds spent on PRP trigger, sights, tape won’t be recouped
if you sell it. I also upgraded my XD Tac with the PRP trigger, it
doesn’t hurt to have extra tools. Unless you need $$$, keep it.

I agree^ keep the XD as a beater truck gun. Ive seen them resell for as low as 250$

The barrel axis is radically different from one another. I much prefer the Glock over the SA. It’s all personal preference. I’m not suggesting one is better.

I just cant shoot XDs well for some reason. I can shoot Glocks, 1911s, HK, Sig, S&W, Walther, Canik, CZ... all day long. But I cant hit the broadside of a barn with an XD. I guess I just have no skills.

If Glocks work for you, consider yourself lucky. Ditch the XD and switch to Glocks. To each their own.

Should I sell the XD9? Stick with one platform?

Yes, and Yes.

I sold my XD9 and XD45. Not because there was anything wrong with them. Nor because I didn't shoot them well.

I just used then to fund a STI 2011, cause I shoot 1911/2011's very well.


Since you are on the fence, I would suggest a few range sessions with both platforms, a couple of drills.

Let the feel of the pistol coupled with the results guide you.

Tax return time is a good time to sell.

Pick one and practice.

[LateBraking]

Yes, and Yes.

That picture could have been taken by me as well.

I got rid of all my .40s and .45s since I shoot 9mm the best personally, and then worked my way out of Glocks because they have the Glock angle and I didn't feel comfortable with it personally. Finally, I worked my way out of my handguns that did have double-action first pulls, or did not have a thumb safety. This just got me to be consistent with practice.

I've since added back in a few handguns without a thumb safety, and a few Glocks, but I'm sending all my Glocks to Battle Ready Arms to get their "razorback" fix (that fixes the Glock grip angle). I hate DA/SA personally because of the inconsistency, I know it works great for some folk but just not for me, so I'm still sticking with single action triggers (with one exception, a revolver, but that's consistently always double action so that's OK with me).

Point being, everyone's different, so find a formula that works for you and somewhat stick with it.

Let me know your thoughts.

Sell your XD to buy the GLOCK.

No, I would keep the XD9 , it's a workhorse , it's best to be be proficient with numerous firearms , not just one platform

no way I would sell a XD9 that I just bought, it's one of the best 9mm pistols on the roster, after paying for the background checks, DROS, tax, etc, keep it for a while and get some use out of it

Switching between manufacturers that have significantly different grip angles might impact your training negatively, but the answer to your question really depends on what type of firearm owner you are.

If you're in it for the sole reason of being able to defend yourself and others quickly and efficiently, then stick to one type.

Like many of us though, you could be a collector and user, and variety is much of the appeal of the firearms world. Thats why people love C&R (plus the history I'm sure).

You can do both though. Bring however many guns you want and enjoy shooting them, but when you shoot your defense gun, make sure you put fun aside (just a bit) and focus on actual practice.
