XD-M 9 or G-19

[Guest m&pc9]

I bought my first m&p compact 9 in may. It had a problem with a few jhp. So S&W paid the postage and I sent it back. I got it back in @ 2weeks and it eats everything I put in her now. S&W had to polish the feed ramp. I am now in the process of buying a full size M&P 9mm. I just really like the M&P line. And they are made in the USA.

The "point/aim" of a Glock is lower than any other SA pistol. No one can deny that. Yes, if you practice with a Glock you will be fine but, when it comes down to "muscle memory" of the point after draw, you stand a very high chance of missing your target in a defense situation if you don't practice soley with it. You have to break your wrist down in order to center your shot. Range time is much different than when your or your's life depends on well placed shots. I understand the design of the grip angle in that they shoot where you would be pointing your index finger. Is that more natural? I don't think so due to that being a propritary design. I give it to Glock in that they are one of the best "tools" out there. But, as Poak stated, neither hold a candle to a USPc.

Hmmm...I shoot Glocks almost exclusively, and the "point/aim" is, for me, almost identical to a 1911 with an arched mainspring housing. IIRC, one of main improvements of the 1911A1 over the 1911 was the addition of an arched housing over a flat housing, supposedly to bring the natural point of aim higher (and on target).

Shot my friends XDM and loved it so I purchased one for myself. I have small hands. After changing the backstrap I loved it more.
