G-19 or XD 9

[Marswolf]

I like plastic triggers --- as long as the plastic encases a metal trigger (as in the USP).

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

[Guest mc30707]

I've had the XD 9 awhile now and like it alot. Today I traded a shotgun for a glock 19 with nite sights. I like both, but the XD fits better

[ZZRguy]

I like the XD but my wife likes the 19 better. The XD fits my hand better. I had a few glocks and a M&P and I traded them ( except the 19 b/c my wife likes it), for the XD's I now own. I have a 19 and a XD you can try if you would like to come to Gallatin.

i've had the XD9 for 2&1/2 years, fits well in my hand, and has always performed well.

However, i'm at the point of switching to an SP101, if i can find one.

For my carry, i want something simpler like the SP101.

Not to Hi-jack this thread but have you heard about the new sp101 chambered for a .327 Federal Mag? .32 bullet with .357 mag performace with 20% less recoil and holds 6 rounds.

Sounds like yet another wonder-caliber that you will have trouble finding.

Glock 19 first

M&P or XD second and third.

I only own the G19 right now. I've owned probably 15 or so Glocks, never an M&P and never an XD. My main dislike of the XD is the sights (though they're far better than factory Glock sights). I recently handled the full-size and compact M&P and I was utterly shocked at how much I loved it. The compact reminded me of my Glock 33 which I no longer have...the M&Ps are everything Glocks COULD be!

I love my G19 but really hate Glock's grip angle. The 19/23/32/38 frame is the least of evils for me.

So...all that said, get the 19 first.

not to cause any wars here but most people that have glocks will say there better than sliced bread until they shoot an XD

Funny how that works. But a lot of us think un-cockable/de-cockable makes a lot more sense.

[Guest triggertime]

I'd suggest a Glock 19. Mainly because I've owned one alot longer than the XD has been on the market. It has proven itself. Glocks work. I've owned an XD briefly. It broke. I don't own an XD anymore.

The best thing about owning a Glock, other than the fact that they work, is that it makes Mar's sphincter pucker. That's reason to buy one in itself! And if you tout the virtues of a Glock on here enough, it makes it pucker tighter. It's a form of divine retribution. You gotta' love that.

...and sometimes a glock even works when you dont want it to,lol

When did the glocksters:koolaid: start getting here?

[Guest GlockFD]

myself , i carry a g-22. I absolutly love it. But as said before what fits me may not fit you. A close friend of mine carries a XD in a 45. and of course he loves his gun. So "if the gun fits, carry it."

I would say go Glock. but I also get alot of heat for being a glock lover........whatever.

[Guest theolog]

When did the glocksters:koolaid: start getting here?

Around 1986.

[Marswolf]

And Glock has a long history. They started in 1963 making curtain rods.

NEVERNEVERNEVERNEVERNEVER, :no1:

GLOCK=:love:

[Guest HogMan]

My mind is made up and I appreciate all your suggestions, I'm going with A............Oh man the ole lady is calling, gota go.

[Guest 270win]

I have had good luck with my Glock 19 9mm overall. It is easier to find parts, holsters, and accessories for a Glock than the XD. That said, you should go to a range and try both out to see which you can shoot better.

[DaveTN]

Another vote for the M&P.

You are starting to see more stuff for the XD's, like parts and accessories. Pistolgear, for example, has a lot of stuff. http://pistolgear.com/products.php?id=15

I shot two XDs and was not impressed. Nothing against them, I just didn't understand all the hype after I shot one.
