G-19 or XD 9

[Guest HogMan]

Trying to decide between the G-19 or

the XD 9. I know get both, but witch

one as A first choice.

[Guest Verbal Kint]

What?

[Guest flyfishtn]

Well, I know "which" one I would get and that would be the XD. Have tried really hard to like the Glock but it just doesn't fit my hand comfortably at all. The XD on the other hand, is like a glove for me which is why I chose it.

I have an XD .40 S&W if you would like to put a few rounds through to see if it fits your liking.

[Guest Steelharp]

G 19, absolutely.

[Guest EasilyObsessed]

Which one feels better in your hand? Which points more naturally?

[Guest utarch00]

Neither unless you like holding a 2x4.

I would choose (and did) a M&P9.

[Fasttalker]

I would check out the S&W M&P.

Love my M&P40, don't think I'll own another Glock.

Just my .02 worth.

[Guest ACMM]

Glock 19, love mine and parts are readily available.

[tnroadrunner]

XD is the only way to go.

[Guest Verbal Kint]

+1 for the XD

I'm not really a fan of Glocks, but I do like the G19 model out of all of them (and would be the one I chose, if I had to carry a Glock). That said, I'd vote for the XD out of the two. It has a more comfortable grip and feel, similar to a 1911 handgun.

Neither unless you like holding a 2x4.

How small are your hands?

[Guest HogMan]

I have pretty big hands, that's one reason I'm A Beretta fan. I've held both

the Glock an the XD, favoring the XD. I'll probably look at the two again this week-in and try to decide on one. Thanks again

[Sean]

Ive been lookin for a G19 for awhile. But Ive never held a mp9. I'll have to try one out.

[Guest Steelharp]

Something about the M&P's "broken trigger with the snap in the middle" has always bugged me. It just feels like a broken piece of plastic, to me. That's what I personally don't care for.

What do you mean? AS you pull back its loose?

[Marswolf]

Whatever I have is, of course, what you should get.

Of course I no longer own either a Glock or an XD.

I'm big these days on handguns that can be cocked, de-cocked, and re-cocked and shoot SA/DA.

But if you have to have a Glock-like gun, I'd go with the XD. Personal choice. I've had both and much preferred the XD. If you learn to re-holster it properly, the grip safety adds a level of additional safety.

Glock

XD

[Guest Steelharp]

Sean, you know, it's got the crack across the middle of the trigger face, horizontal, that is the release for the trigger safety as you pull it. Just makes it feel like the trigger is broken, to me. I'm sure others do not have that conception of it, it's just the way it hits me.

[saintsfanbrian]

Go to a range that rents both. Try them both for real not just fondling in the store. Pick the one you shoot better. I have a G19 and an XD9 (though I haven't shot the XD yet I like the feel but until I get range time with it I am not carrying it.)

[Guest Phantom6]

Unlike the Glock, XD Butt has yet to be identified as a health risk by the NIFCAWTBL (National Institute of Folks that Care About the Way Their Backside Looks).

I chose the XD because of the grip and quite frankly it simply allows me to shoot better than the Glock.

[Smith]

XD. I also had to choose a while back and I went with the XD. It was easy after handling them side by side.

I'm with ya there... I don't like plastic triggers period. My vote would be XD (which has a metal trigger)

[BryanP]

Personally I prefer the XD (mine's a .45, but to each their own). Both are quite nice. If at all possible try to get some range time with each before you make a choice.

[Guest JPH]

"I don't like plastic triggers period. My vote would be XD (which has a metal trigger)"

and the good Dr. Strangelove speaks for me as well

[Guest Steelharp]

The metal trigger of the XD on a Glock would be great for me. The XD was too top heavy to me, did not shoot well.
