XD9 or MP9

[gobabygo]

M&P because I don't like the XD grip safety. Too many times I've tried pulling the trigger on an XD and nothing happens (with the way I grip it).

PS. I've disabled all the grip safeties on my 1911s.

Anyone shooting IDPA or USPSA with the MP9 yet? I'd like to hear your experiences.

We have a guy shooting the M&P at our Ipsc match'. The big hangup is dropping the hammer on an empty chamber. There has to be an empty mag in the gun to drop the hammer. Kind of a hassle. Need an extra empty mag in the pocket.

I just spotted one today at the Richmond Limited match! That's a damn fine pistol and it really impressed me so much that I may have to switch out my trusty G17 for it. Anyone know the best price in the Bay Area?

How about an MP9 vs a Sig P225/P6?

I went to the range today. I shot the XD, M&P, Sig Pro/2022, and a G17..

I've decided to go with the XD as it felt/shot better than the others.

The XD has its own issues like the grip safety locking it up tight.

Huh?

I have 14,000+ rounds through my XD AND I am active on XDTalk.com. Never heard of the XD grip safety "locking it up tight." Not impossible since it is a moving part, but it certainly isn't a frequent problem for XD owners.

To me, the grip safety is a non-issue. I can't shoot many 1911s because I have such a high grip when coming out of the holster that I cannot de-actvitate the grip safety. Never had even the most remote problem with my XD. It is a superb design.

Both guns are very good, so you won't go wrong with either.

I posted that in response to a previous post about the M&P having issues. My point was that all pistols have issues. It happens to be the grip safety on the XD. Its not a secret, and its enough of an issue that Bar-sto is coming out with a fix. I'm sure they're not the only ones. David Bowie, who works on a lot of XDs, is also very familiar with it.

I'm happy with my XD9.
