Glock vs XD

[murph50]

I have the XD9sc and the XD45 Comp. Both shoot really well and I'm very happy with both. When I got my XD 9 I was actually in the GS to buy a Glock 26 for CC. The dealer asked if I'd seen the XD series--which I hadn't (this was about 3-4 years ago). When I picked it up it felt better in my hands and pointed better than the Glock for me. At this point I've never shot a Glock. Nothing against them and someday I may get one but I really like my XD's.

I am very fond of my XD. I am not a huge Glock fan. However, I will not argue they are reliable guns. You did good. He needs to look at them and see which he likes best.

Well it seems the discussion is moot now, but I will add my 2 cents in case other people read this and are trying to decide. I have an XD45 at the moment. I will soon be trading it in for a Glock (haven't decided what model).

After shooting a friend's Glock 21, I have to say that the Glock just shoots so much better, at least in my hands. But what is good for me may not be as good for others. Someone has mentioned it already, but I highly encourage anyone to shoot before they buy. You don't buy a car without driving it first right? Same thing applies here. :)

+1 You should shoot the type of gun you want to buy BEFORE you buy it. Find a friend if you must, or check out an organized event where you're able to do so. I've lost count of the many friends, students, acquaintances, etc that purchased a gun because it was a "good deal", but later ended up selling the gun because they didn't like the way it shot. :) Many times it is "shooter error", but hey, who am I to argue, I'm just the firearms instructor ;)

Glad you've found a gun that you like. My Glock pistols take a lot of abuse and still function like they did out of the box. The other guns OTOH need a lot more maintenance and TLC. :)
