Copyright infringement <--W9ZEBThe Glock hurts my sensitive wrists and hands. I had a roller skating accident in the early 80s and I have a hard time gripping them.... but I still like the G19!

What with all the XD hate? also the calling the XD are not reliable? I have an xd40 for that last 3 years or so, my first handgun. At one time I had been keeping track of rounds through and I stop counting somewhere around 700-800 rounds. If I had to guess, I would guess around 1100 rounds through it at this point. I have had a total of 0 failures of any kind.
That said, i would not turn down a glock either. They are both great guns. I find the XD easier to shot myself, but I only shot a glock half a dozen times or so.
Don't let brand loyalty of some push you away from another.
The test of time would lead one back to a 1911 or perhaps a flintlock.
You have narrowed your choice between two excellent modern platforms which will stand more use and abuse than most folks will throw their way in a lifetime. You can't choose poorly here.
But I chose XD.
It has to do with unavailability of replacement parts and lame internal design. For the casual shooter, these things may not matter.
What do you mean by "lame internal design"?
I think Josh is making reference to the fabled "Maytag repairman" here.
Maytag's "lame design" didn't break often enough to make parts and service as lucrative as some "other" brands.

-1 Crystalship. At what point did my statement become pro-Glock? You can label whatever you choose but that doesn't make it correct. I don't understand why you have this chip on your shoulder.
If you wish to argue my statements, thats fine. Please, don't put words in my mouth. Every gun has flaws, never did I deny that. I point out a weakness in the XD platform and you ride in on a white horse? <yawn> Wake me when the good part starts.
Glock FTW!!!...youre a retard if you own anything besides a glock...that should do the trick.
