Glock 27 vs XD

[Yodax109]

So I know glocks are great guns, I've just personally never been a huge fan. I'm looking for a 3" sub-compact and was wondering if the Springfield sub-compact is comparable in quality to the glock? Any suggestions?

Glock 26 is better.

Shot both and brought home the XD sub in 9mm simply due to the grip safety feature. Almost as fun to shoot as my Browning Hi-Power.

Several buddies own the glock 26 and XD sub compact. I shot both and ended up buying the 9mm sub compact XD. Shoot both and see which one you prefer. To date my XD has performed flawless and am very happy with it.

XD is just as reliable, safer, well made as glock, and will eat anything you throw at it. Most people find it more comfortable to shoot. I bought a XD 9 subcompact over the Glock 26 based on how it felt in my hand. The grip safety is an added feature. The XD subcompact is just SLIGHTLY thicker than a glock 26 and a bit taller (grip to slide) but for me MUCH more comfortable and fun to shoot with.

If you want a gun that dissapears its a g26. The 3'' XD just is not a sub-compact, its fun to shoot because it has a great ballance, and feel. Very nice piece, But if your after a true BUG, go GLOCK.

Also would go with the XDSC. I was also deciding whether to get a Glock or XD. I just liked the grip angle better, the grip safety, the rail, and that it just points better for me. Get what feels better in your hand.

i TOO HAVE PONDERED THIS QUESTION AND CAME HOME WITH AN XD.

TWICE.

I'm also in the market for another XD. This time in .45ACP. I have shot Glocks in the academy, and while I did well with it, I still prefer Springfield. Just something else to think about.

I initially tried both the Glock and the SA-XD at my local range. I ended up with this



It's been reliable and flawless since day one. Highly recommended

I just bought an XD 40 sub-compact today

I work at a range here in socal the XD looks nicer but is tempermental with reload ammo but only if the casing has been used more than twice!! but glocks they eat up everything and are the most reliable weapons made IMHO for what its worth!!

[apbrian112]

my xd's haven't been tempermental with reloads... my xd9 service and xd40 tactical eat it all up (although i haven't really fed my tactical much since i got it).

get whatever feels better in your hand and whichever allows you to get more rounds downrange, on target faster. you're not gonna wanna practice with a gun that's not comfortable in your hand...
that's just MHO. i'm sure you'll be happy with either.

I like both platforms. I prefer Glock slightly myself; especially since I wanted a 10mm at the time that I was shopping between the two.

it has been written that glocks are fixable at home , one can by a dvd to learn to become an armorer and get parts all over the world . Springfield doesn't sell parts and you break their warranty if you go past field strip so if you need an extractor..... you have to send to them Springfield)who happen to have great service. something to consider if you shoot lots .
I bought the 3 inch xd 9 manly cause I can shoot it well , the glock seemed strange to me , but I neve gave much more that a few rental sessions at the range . Glock 19 is next on my list just to save for a katrina type disaster.
The glock one can own preban high cap mags with the xd that theory won't work cause of the recent born on date.
