Mini Glock or XD Sub compact?

[HICKMAN]

The main thing is, find what works best for you.

Glock/XD/M&P are all a little different in sizes, grips and so forth, so a person should be able to find something that works best for them.

It annoys me more then anything when people throw fits about why what sucks and does not when it comes to guns.

XD's fit me better.... I have shot quite a few glocks and could carry and shoot one if I hat to but perfer not to... I have big hands and have shot a glock sub compact 40 with no mag extensions and I can fire off a mag before my hands start to hurt.... it is a little better with a +2... like I said, I can shoot them but they are not fun after a while.

Hold both and see what feels best and shoot booth and see what you do better with......... period.

First time I shout my 5 inch XD (non comeptition barrel or rounds) I had a 6-8 inch group at 25 yards..... had no problems with sight picture or any other complaints you hear about...... put like 20 13 round mags trough it and did not have any problems but one of the glocks kep having fail to load problems...... but look online and there are guys that have XD fail to load problems..... every gun make has issues from time to time.......

^this^ Both the Xd's and Glock's are good platforms. It's, just a matter of prefrence. In the two years, that I owned my Xd. I had 0 problems with it. It ate, everything that I fed it. I just, found something that I liked better. The point is, is to find what fits you the best. Neither one, is better than the other. Anything mechanical can fail. That's, just a fact of life.

I like M&P's even..... just don't like the fact that the trigger pull is really long.... maybe that can be fixed though.

I like them both, but prefer the Baby GLOCK.

YouTube - GLOCK vs XD

This video needs to be mandatory in every one of these threads.

Lobo: That was great!

I had a XD9sc and have a G26 now.

Thanks! That's one of my favorite videos on YouTube.

Personally, I don't care for the XD subcompact. They are something like 4.7 inches tall in the grip, and I've always found the grip is the hardest part to conceal under a garment. Heck, a G19 is only 5 inches tall.

I like the baby Glock for 9mm (G26) and an M&P compact for .40 caliber. That's how I roll.

Glock Glock Glock.

Used them both, prefer the XD.

I would suggest you handle both, the ergonomics of the glocks blow for me, but that my opinion. Whatever feels good in your hands is the better gun. I would give an edge to the XD for reliability.

 

[dmorrow23]

Sorry all you Glock guys, but opinions are like, well you know what, everyone has one.

Just picked up my new-to-me M&P9c today. Hope to shoot it tomorrow. So the answer for me may be neither!

XDSC

 

[Bob45]

I looked at them both extensively, shot both a lot, then I shot an M&P 9c and it was over

My G27 holds 13 rounds with extension, is extremely accurate and can easily be concealed. The xd's are nice, but for me the Glock subcompact cannot be beat.

 

[Past Edgy]

Interesting, I have owned both, and prefer the XD. I like the extra features, i.e. the chambered round indicator is nice. What's my opinion worth... not much.

 

[derrickgoins]

In this comparison, I'd have to say the XD as well. I've shot both and liked the XD better - it was easier to get a full combat grip on the XD even with the shorter mag inserted. Just my opinion though.

 

[Hoosier45]

Got to shoot my new M&P9c this week. I will now be sellling/trading my XD9sc.

I am seriously considering one of these but I wonder which one would be the bbset for pocket carry if any.

 

[HICKMAN]

A revolver, Kel-tec PF9, LCP and other smaller pistols are great for pocket carry.
