Is "or" a choice? If so I'm going with that


S and W all the way baby

 

[! twitty]

.... with that many posts you clearly know better than to drum up this.

 

[Homebrew]

Which ever you like better.

 

[xdmstu]

XDm. Because it is Springfield Armory and it has an "m"

[SSGSAD]

XD, or XDm, or S&W all the way !!!!!

Because once you buy one (XD), you're satisfied, not having to buy every single version of every different model (Glock) they make.

Glock because it's a "word" and I can't pronounce XDM, it just comes out wierd

 

[sloughfoot]

I like my Glock because every time I squeeze the trigger, it makes a loud noise and puts a hole in what I aimed it at.

I like my XD because every time I squeeze the trigger, it makes a loud noise and puts a hole in what I aimed it at.

And that is my opinion and I will stick to it.

glock. because a Croatian gun really shouldn't cost that much.

I sold my Glock 26 and purchased a Taurus 24/7 Pro. The Glock ate everything, but the Taurus will jam on some of the cheap ammo that has a sticky residue. The Glock has no external safety except for the trigger safety. Over time I became nervous about shoving my Glock into a soft holster. Began to wonder if a fold in the holster or a flap of my shirt would hang up on the trigger causing a negligent discharge. The XD has the grip safety, which eliminates that concern. But I do not like a grip safety. It means I cannot fire with a weak grip, which could happen in an emergency—injured hand, unable to grip the weapon properly.

I also found I was far more accurate with my Taurus than I was with the Glock. It may just have been the difference in size (subcompact Glock 26 and compact Taurus 24/7) gave me a better grip, or it may have been the sights on the Glock were off a bit—I had Trijicon night sights installed at Midwest (Mishawaka) when I bought it—but what ever the reason, my accuracy increased significantly with the Taurus.

Bottom line: I prefer the Taurus, but I would probably go with the XD over the Glock next time. That is a major change from when I first got my LTCH and started training with the G26. I really liked that pistol. Took me a long time to decide to move on to something better. Seriously, the Taurus is better—at least of the pieces I owned and fired.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Croation and Austrian rate of exchange.

Silly of me....

do you ever laugh? or do you just have to be right all the time? But since you want to be a smart ass about it.

a Glock can be had with night sights for $400. I think your preferred piece of plastic is overpriced for what it is.

seems a bit pricey to me vs a Glock 17. to each his own.

You can buy brand new in box Glocks with night sights for $400? Do tell.

 

[Packrat67]

Both fine weapons but XD is MUCH safer to carry. It has a safety and a good one

Springfield XDM 9mm Black 19+1 $549.00 SHIPS FREE

Somehow, I have ticked you off. Not sure how. But I paid $400 for my XD9 and $475 for my Glock 19. Both new. But neither has night sights. I filled out a 4473 for each. I think both are good values.

I like them both. I really like them both.

I will endeavor to laugh every now and again. When I am right though, I am right. Sorry if you don't like it.

 

[PastorBlaster]

Held both and went XDM since they were on sale and Springfield sent me 3 free mags for a total of 5!

These stupid threads are a waste of time and bandwidth. If I were mod for a day Id end all silliness like this.
