Here's another vote for the XD.

In my opinion the only advantage that Glock has over the XD is the easy availability of parts, both factory and after market. If your XD breaks it means a trip back to Springfield in most cases, since Springfield Armory will not sell or provide most parts for self installation.

Magazine availability used to be a problem but this issue seems to be resolved. Magazines are available at reasonable prices (about $20.00 for the 9mm and 40 cal most places) and are stainless steel. The only exception are the extended magazines for the subcompact..they are seriously overpriced at $35.00 or so in my opinion.

The XD is a natural pointer for me. The Glock was not. But, what feels best to me or, anyone else for that matter, may not feel right to your hands. Try them both and go with what feels best to you. They are both fine weapons and you can't go wrong with either.
