Any gun mfg has there good and bad. I am sure there are glocks out there that have had breaks and failures also. Obviously I love my Xd's, I own 2 of them with zero failures of any sort with thousdands of rounds through them. I feel the XD is safer to carry than the glock, kahr, and all the others that have nothing on them as far a physical safety. Whether you like it or not I know that unless I have a tight grip on the frame of my xd and have engaged the palm safety it is not going off. That being said I am a huge fan of the 1911 and love the grip angle on the xd. Here is a link to a good article on the xd and it goes into good detail. That all being said, if you do not get to shoot a gun before buying it, it is a shot in the dark whether you will really like a gun or not. All you can do is read and make an informed decision.Mike from Texas wrote:After the failures I saw with my XD I have a REAL hard time believing that torture test.starrbuck wrote:Anyone who doubts the XD's toughness should read the XD Torture Test.
