xd or glock

[gorenut]

It's like asking Asians vs white girls... I'm into white girls some are into Asians. Just personal preference.

Although I find on average people are definitely more lenient and have an open mind on their choice of girls vs their guns.

You can't tell me the grip safety is a defect. For ME, and many others, it is a great safety device that doesn't allow you to shoot yourself in the leg or foot without having your hand on it. We shouldn't necessarily need it but its a real world function that has ABSOLUTELY saved someone from literally shooting his/herself in the foot. Just like a 1911 thats been around the block a time or two, and has been around just a few years longer than the beloved glock, its a great feature to have on a gun.

I think he meant that it doesn't work like it should. It does not work like a 1911. The slide should be able to be pulled without the grip safety engaged IMO also. The makers overlooked this.

On the flip side.. I saw a video of a guy shooting his own leg with a 1911 when he was testing out a new holster. Not sure if this would have happened with an XD in the same situation. Not saying one is better than the other.. but in this incident maybe the XD grip safety would have actually done its job.

Considering he had a full grip and was the fault of him drawing too fast with a Serpa which can make your trigger finger go into the trigger guard it would have been the same thing.

You should look at the Glock XD-1911. I hear it's great!

But yeah, go, shoot, buy.

Ouch! Should have had his safety on!

he had a bad draw on a bad holster (IMO). Any gun would have done the same (presuming you deactivate the safety while still in the holster)

Simply comes down to this

Glock= crisper trigger, bad ergonomics, lower bore axis

XD= Mushier trigger (different type of trigger than the glock) , better ergonomics, higher bore axis.

Whatever is more important to you get. Everything else they are right on par with eachother.

I have a Gen 1 G17.
I have an XD9 Service.

While the XD is a good gun, I would only carry it if my Glock were somehow disabled or gone. In an uncertain world, a Glock is about as certain as you're going to get.

Glock uber alles.

I have a glock 23(with about 2000 rounds thru it) and a XD9 service ( with about 8000 thru it) both great guns both dead nuts reliable.

I personaly like the XD better. It fits my hand better and I really like it out of the box.

I had to put sights on the glock, a new trigger and some sanding down on the grip to make it feel good for me.

So in the end its personal preference. There both great guns.

With guns or girls?

[paul0660]

Evidently, neither...........or he can just afford the budget models.

I have two glocks and have shot xd's, but my fav polymer gun that i've shot is an M&P 40 with a trigger job. I really like the M&P mag release. Heck I might get an M&P 9 just cause lol it felt good. But I'll still prob keep carrying my g26.

I am about to purchase a new pistol and wanted to get some opinions on the two that I am looking at. Either a Glock or a Springfield XD in 9mm or 40 cal. I was thinking 9mm as the rounds are cheaper and I am mostly going to just be hitting the range with it. I own a few revolvers and I want to make the change to a semi-auto pistol. I know it really comes down to preference, and I have shot both, just not enough rounds through each to really make a choice. So I guess my question is, is one better than the other. Any input would be great as I want to order it this week so I can get it as soon as possible. Thanks in advance

Since you said your used to revolvers, might I suggest trying both out and decide for yourself. As a side note, the Glocks can be outfitted with a NY trigger spring which mimics the feel of a revolver. I do not know of and XD that has that feature.
