I can't decide between Glock vs XD

[melomania]

Since December I have been debating on which of these two to get and I cannot decide. For the XD, I am looking at the .45 compact and for the Glock, I am looking at the 21SF and 30. I will be carrying probably 3-4 days out of the week but I also want something I can have fun shooting at the range. Opinions?

Have you held/shot both? Either? It's a pretty personal decision, no one on here can tell you what gun is best for you.

 

[Scutter01]

Why not both?

 

[TomN]

Go to a range that rents both of them and shoot them side-by-side, don't just pick them up at a gun store and say "Oh this one feels better, I'm going to get that!". Find out which one not only feels better in the hand but which one shoots better for you.

You can't go wrong either way, it is a personal choice you may like/dislike something about one gun over the other.

Yep.

That said, G30 any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Get a Hi-Point. You'll save yourself a bundle of money! I hear rumors they are the best thing since sliced bread, cure cancer, and create world peace.



























ok, now that the Insanity has left me. I carry a Glock. I was a pretty hard core HK guy, and regularly recommended Glocks to people even then. Inexpensive Magazines, Holsters are available from everyone/Everywhere, Mag carriers are on the shelf at most gun stores, etc etc etc.

There are a lot of reasons to buy a Glock even if the XD Feels or Shoots better.

I'm an XD guy but even I wouldn't hesitate to carry a Glock. Either way I think you'll be happy.

Doesn't matter what the Mall Ninja's tell you. You can't go wrong with either.

I personally prefer the feel of my xdm over any glock that I have ever touched.

To me, you can learn to shoot any gun, but if it doesn't fit your hand right, who cares.

TomN and Dogman have given you great advice. Ignore the brand worshipers. I'm an XD guy but Glocks are fine pistols too.

Have you checked out the SmithWesson M&Ps? I have a 9mm compact and looooove it. Smooth slide, smooth trigger pull, smooth shootin. A little more aesthetically pleasing than the Glock...and a little better designed than the xd (imo).

I'll 2nd wildfiresrozes, give a good look at all 3 (Glock, XD, M&P). While I shoot an XDm-9, my daughter has a M&P-9c and it shoots better than my XDm (at least for me). All are great guns. -- Greg

XD's

I have a XD9sc and a XDM40. I would highly recommend either.

 

[tyler34]

or how about a kimber sex panther, w9zeb swears bye them

 

[Joe Williams]

Neither. Get a real man's gun, an American icon. Get a revolver!

TomN has a good answer the one you want is the one you are comfortable (and most accurate) shooting.

I've seen a lot of folks spend money on a firearm only not to want it after they had been to the range with it.

Find a try before you buy shop and you'll know for sure.

That said I've had many handguns and carry a Glock, Have a Glock by the bedside somewhere. and another stashed around the house. All .40 cal oh and I am thinking about buying another Glock!

Did I mention I like the Glock!!

Have fun Happy shooting!

 

[KDUBCR250]

Handle both,shoot both if you can . Then pick the one thats fits you best. I have a XD and a Glock both are good firearms !

 

[JByer323]

This is your mind's way of telling you that you want something designed by John Moses Browning.

 

[WestSider]

Neither, get a M&P
