dsfIt was hard. It was tough. I almost cried... :-)
I sold off my last Glock 26 to finished up financial situations for the wedding. I had plans to buy a new one afterwards when things settled down, but once financials had settled in after the wedding, when I went to make my next purchase, I carried home an XD 9mm subcompact instead of a glock 26. I loved glock, owned both g19 and g26, but decided to give an XD subcompact 9mm a try before I opted for my final non-sell carry piece (lol). I had been a die-hard 1911 fan before I made the switch to 9mm evern (for capacity vs. new ammo expansion reasons), and settled in eventually with my favorite the glock 26. Perhaps because of my extreme love for the 1911, perhaps not, I have made my final decision on the XD because of quick response natual aim reasons (assumed due to to my first love, the 1911 grip angle). I just point faster and more natually with the XD. I'm still suffering from glock withdrawl, with ideas to switch back to a g26, but when I've held my breath for 60 seconds and slapped myself silly into and adrenaline rush and I still point better with the SD subcompact, I have to stick it out. The 3 extra rounds don't hurt either! Anyone else made the switch and suffering from glock withdrawl?
I told my newly wed wife I had to purchase two more 16rd mags and 500 rounds of ammo to seal the deal, and she was ok with that. So now I'm stuck! :-) (no complaints here!!!!!) Fired a few hundred rounds and loving it, just gotta get used to the slight height difference (and tiny width difference). Going strong XD!
Good bye glock, I will always love you, but your mags can't fit the new boom stick.

I'm interested in the barrel height comparison, it looks tall!
