Speepdaedeesi, first thanks for your service. You honor yourself and our country by serving. Regarding Glock v. XD-m, I do own both. I have a Glock 23C, Glock 27 and a XD-m 9mm. I prefer the Glocks because I'm more accurate with them. I also think that they are more concealable. I bought the XD-m because I had a chance to fire one owned by a co-worker. I shot it incredibly well. I'd been looking for something to use for IDPA and it seemed to fit the bill. Unfortunately I haven't been able to replicate that initial accuracy with my own XD-m. I'm consistently a bit low and to the left with the XD-m. With the G23C I can consistently shoot in the center ring. The Glock also feels better in my hand. I can't explain why, it just does. I've tried all of the XD-m backstraps and none feel like the Glock.speepdaedeesi wrote:i have owned a glock 19, and loved it. im familiar with the glock torture test, the hundreds of law enforcement and millitary agencies across the world who have chosen glock as their service pistol, and im down with it... but..
it seems like every gun magazine i get my hands on over here in afghanistan has at least two xd-m ads in them, usually a page apart. i like the look of it, and i also like the idea of the backstrap safety, it would make me feel a tad better about carrying +1...
my question is for those who own BOTH
which one do you like better?
the main thing i have heard is that the xd has a 1911 grip angle that most prefer. i wont be able to get my hands on one for a few months, so i can do now is dream.. .and read the responses to this post.
thanks! and yeah it sucks here in afghanistan!
Both of these are great guns. I've had no issues with any of them. You shouldn't go wrong with either.
