Glock Vs. XD - Page 2

KAK · November 7, 2009, 09:23 PM

Glock is my favorite gun ever I love them all. I like the 45 long-slide XD just as much as as some Glocks.

XD guy here, grip angle and size does it for me, XD fits my hand MUCH better, points and feels more natural. I know the newer glock chambers are better in chamber support, but the XD has always had stellar chamber support.

Which ever one fits your hand better is the better pistol. You can't go wrong with either.

My only thing against XDs ( I own a standard model) is the it does not come in a 9mm compact model to compete against the Glock 19.

XD: Great ergonomics, easy to shoot.
Glock 19: Best of both worlds highly concealable, just as accurate as the standard model.

If you plan to CC, get the Glock.

I prefer Glocks in 9mm
I prefer the XD in 45 acp (grip size)

Amen to that. Glock really, really got it right with the 19, while HS/Springfield really scored with the XD 45.

Bigger hands = glock

Smaller hands = mostly everything else

Yep nothing like the XD 45 just point and shoot. I have friends that shot better on the XD 45 for the first time than on the 9mm they own.
And the 19 takes the ticket for the 9mm since it has the accuracy of a full size with superb concealment ability.

THey are truly equals that are only seperated by personal preference.

This discussion reminds me of when the 1911 faithful (me included) start "discussion" which is the best 1911. In most cases they all have something to offer someone.

In the Tupperware battle they are most all good, just preference seperates them.

I prefer the Glock, personally.

+1 on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBdYBc0BLgQ
Also +1 on the idea that it depends on what you plan to do with your gun. Why only XD vs Glock. How about a S&W M&P or if it's for carry then a Kahr or a Kel-Tec. Better still buy them all, do the comparison and tell us which one you liked best and why. They are all fine guns. If you're going to shoot action competition like IDPA, IPSC or USPSA you're on the wrong forum.

I don't think I'd say that! There are plenty of us who do just that, right here on THR.

Personally, I've seen WAY more Glocks than xDs in competition.

Personally, I like the xD a LOT more than the Glock.

It's kind of hard to go WRONG either way.
