If possible go to a range and rent both guns. See which you like better and which fits you better. I vote for the XD but that's simply because the Glock's grip angle feels strange to me. I couldn't shoot the G22 I had accurately. Although the two guns seem like they should be very similar, in my opinion at least, they shoot very differently.
I don't care if it HAS been done to death: XD9 vs G19

Everybody is different but i really like both guns, i have both and i have never had an issue with either, i shoot them about the same but one area that i have a problem with is concealed carry, the Glocks "hide" better on me and are more comfortable to carry, i have tried a bunch of holsters for my XD's and i can't get any to work for my body style.

I'll always take Glock over Springfield XD.
Welp, I got the XD and 500rds of hardball for $530. They tried to get me by lowering the price of the G19 to $560 (which apparently is not a good deal anyways) but $429 was just too nice a price for the XD. I like it only slighly less than my XD45. Love the ammo prices, though.
Looks like I will never get a Glock at this rate. I keep trying to justify it but...
Thanks folks. Even the holier than thou among ya, hahaha,

I tried Glocks and I don't like them. Grip just doesn't do it for me.
Care to share? I'm yet to find something where the grip safety prevents it from happening.

Has there been an XD torture test yet like there are with so many Glocks?

There was one and the XD went 20,000 rounds without malfunction too. Can't find it at the moment so maybe someone else will have better luck.

That response is not typical. Do you really trust his opinion?
And a Glock does??? Seriously, ergos are the M&P's strong suit. I've owned, sold, re-owned and re-sold so many Glocks because of their poorly-thought out grips that I'd strong urge you to reconsider the M&P. M&Ps are sweet handling guns (something that I'm sorry to say I could never say about Glocks, despite desperately trying)

One thing I want to know about that torture test is what happened to the sights?
Yes, that is true, the XD9 is pretty bulky for it's size, if that makes sense. This isn't for CCW though. Just a fun/training gun that won't break the bank, ammo-wise.
As to the Caracal, it's not so much that my buddy doesn't like it. More that it is just nothing new or special which is how it was marketed. Also apparently the "fast sights" are a step backwards. I would have to agree there, even without shooting it. I mean, do normal pistol sights really take that long to line up? Why sacrifice accuracy to a gimmick?

I've had both and like the XD better because of the trigger. The XD is smoother and has a more natural feel. The Glock has the annoying click.

I have the xdm and I love it, great pistol.
That alone leads me to pick Glock in the compact or subcompact arena.
For a full size gun, I might pick a 17, but I'd be more likely to try something like a CZ P-07, FNS, maybe even a 2022. The subcompact Glocks are really the stand-out performers of the bunch, though some of their appeal like ease of maintenance (all maintenance) and size efficiency is shared by the larger models as well.

^ This is the best polymer 9 out there.
Oh, almost forgot........ I guess I would take a Glock over the HS2000.
