Glock info from XD fans

[Combsie]

I'd like to start this by saying I'm a XD fanboy, no Glock experience. I just picked up on trade a Gen 4 17 and was wandering what other Xd fans had to say. Other's appreciated too.

Shoot it and see if you like it. If you don't, sell it. If you do, keep it. Just that simple.

I have shot an XD9 and really liked it. Great gun. Just picked up a glock 19. Haven't shot it yet, but it feels great in my hands.

I have an XD40 a XDM9 and a g27 all of them are great guns

I have owned a Glock 19x9 since the second year they were imported to the US, and love it. I think you'll like it. Never had a breakdown or jam.

Both are great guns. XD feels better in my hand, so that is what I shoot. I like some of the features it has that the Glock doesn't. (grip safety, extractor spring)

 

[Roadie]

XDs feel much better in my hand than a Glock. I don't know whether its the grip angle, or width, or what.. I don't mind shooting Glocks, still think they are great guns, just prefer the XDs.

That's an odd caliber, do you reload?

 

[Combsie]

Thank's for the response guy's. I was able to shoot it, and all I can say is "It's a keeper"

Model 19 by 9mm. As far as I know a popular caliber.

 

[debruyn4]

Oh and no I don't reload myself but I do use reloads at the range.

Model 19.... cartridge is 9X19 aka 9mm parabellum aka 9mm luger

It is not a 19X9

I know what you meant. 9mm Luger/Parabellum is also sometimes reffered to as 9x19 and is labeled as such on Glock 17/19/26/34 slides. 19x9 would be a very short fat cartridge.

Sorry, just being a smartass. Welcome to

 

[debruyn4]

MY BAD. Hope I didn't insult anyone.

XD's are good weapons im not sure about the 9mm ive only shot the 45 i still enjoy the glock better but thats what i shoot 90% of the time.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

As a fan of neither the Glock platform nor the XD platform, I'd take a Glock over an XD. At least in 9mm. (I've owned both in the past, along with two different Steyr M9-A1 pistols, and a Sig P250 2SUM - all polymer framed)

I'd encourage you to resist the urge to be a "fanboy" of any handgun.

Adopt an impartial attitude, judge firearms on their merits, and use what works.

Fanaticism can blind one to the shortcomings/quirks/etc of any system, and it's important to realistically know/recognize those idiosyncrasies so you can work around them. It can also prevent you from recognizing the benefits of innovations when they come along.

Yes, there are some guns I appreciate more than others due to aesthetics, elegance of design, and whatnot, but at the end of the day, they're just tools.
