XD Safety (I'M NOT TRYING TO START A FLAME WAR!!)

[GLOCKMEISTER]

It's a little nit picky, but they are more than just an importer. SA did buy exclusive distribution, marketing, licensing rights ect. In effect they control every aspect, even development of new designs. IMM, at this point, is only the factory operating at the desires of SA.

wow... didnt know I needed to be so specific either. SA also fulfills a lifetime factory warranty on all the HS 2000's as well... so I guess when money changes hands..you control every aspect of a company, your company uses about 95% of all the products they make, you also are warranting their old products... and that company is run and controlled by you alone, and you probably sign all the employee pay cks.. you own it, right? I mean who really knows unless your in a board room somewhere right? :-)

Then I’ll throw this out for someone that wants to learn something….

They could just buy a Smith & Wesson M&P and call it a day.

Better looking than either of those.

Better built.

Full range of options.

Same price range.

Backed by the best warranty and customer support in the industry.

100% American made; even the magazines.

The choice seems obvious to me.

yea they used to say the same thing about the Sigma, SW-99 and about every other SW thats run off the assembly line. What other companies designs were those, and why does the M&P look so much like the Kimber KPD?

I'll stick to something I know will work, not a cheaper made copy.. Someday maybe SW can create their own "Tupperware line", but as of today they havent yet.

Hey, keep my Sigma out of your li'l Glock war!!

[deerslayer]

Didn't you blame an ad/nd/whatever-d on a holster in another post? Was it a careless or poorly trained holster?

Nope--I blame the dummy who pulled the trigger before he got his XD out of his holster. I don't care for Serpa holsters, but, ultimately, the shooter was to blame that day. He would agree, too.

I didnt take the time to read all 6 pages, but if this thread is like every other Glock Vs. X thread, im sure I have already heard the arguments...

I will stir the pot by suggesting that perhaps the Glock is every bit as safe as any other gun on the market, and its the OWNERS of Glocks that are less safe than other gun owners

As a Glock owner, I agree with you 100%. Too many Glock owners (as well as others) need to stick with the dummy-proof guns with 15 pound DA triggers and manual safeties.
