Glock 19/23

[TeamJackson]

Bought a XD 40 Service about 3 weeks ago. I love it and it shoots great...BUT....now I am wanting a Subcompact...I almost wish I would have gotten a Glock 19/23 for my house and the XD subcompact for my carry. I'm sure if I tried to trade 3 weeks later I would get ripped. Oh well..live and learn

Now you have something to plan on spending your tax return money on.

An Xdm Subcompact is the same size as a Glock 19.

[TeamJackson]

I know that is why I think I should have got the Glock 19/23 for home and the XD Subcompact for carry

Wish I had a G19 to compare, but no. XDSC's are closer* to the G26. The XD Service is around* the same size as the G19.

*Because obviously the dimensions aren't identical.

Nope. Butt much shorter for one thing. Kind of voodoo that the 9mm holds 13, actually.

Yeah the 9mm xds make me scratch my head a little because they fit so many rounds in there.

You do reliaze that you have 2 calibers there? The 19 is 9mm, the 23 is 40S&W. Are you sure you don't want the 22/23 combo? That would give you 40S&W for both.

[TeamJackson]

Yes I realize the 19/23 difference. Me XD is a 40 but my next might be a 9 because of the # the 9s hold

I've owned and shot a lot of different 9x19 mm pistol's and believe the G-19 & 26 were the better of the double stack's. From what I'm getting out of this you'd rather have the smaller XD as a compact in .40 S&W but the G-19 for round capacity and size as a home defense weapon. That way you get to have an XD & a Glock which doesn't sound like a bad ideal to me. Wait a bit and you might find someone that'd rather have your XD than they're G-19.

I was talking about the XDM compact. I don't know about the XDSC, I've never owned one. However, I did own an XDM compact and a Glock 19 at the same time and I can tell you that they are about the same size. I didn't think to make a really bad video to demonstrate it but I do recall being disappointed that the XDM Compact was not quite as compact as I had hoped relative to the Glock 19.

[Jon_L]

Gotcha.

[sparksjr]

or you should have bought the M&P 9c like I told you...

[TeamJackson]

True maybe I should of

[Guest carter]

I do like the m&p ... Was thinking that might be my next gun... Use to have a g19 and loved it ... But didn't orally have a safety and have seen too many people shot to feel safe with a round chamberd.. that's just me though ... But glocks are like an I-pod.... U have no trouble finding holsters and parts or accessories

The XDsc is larger than the Glock 26/27. They are about the same length, but the slide on the XDsc is a little taller and the grip is noticably longer. The XDsc is also about 6oz. heavier. I have an XDsc in .40. It's a good gun and I shoot it well, but for carrying, I'd rather have the G26/27. The XDsc is now a nightstand gun with the extended mag in it.
