Because a glock is ugly and XD's have a nice grip safety and some folks like that. Another good reason is some XD's have a thumb safety and some folks like that too. Glocks are ugly, I'm gonna buy an XD

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't like them at all, but some people just like the way the grip feels I suppose. To me, the CD grip feels much better, but he thing doesn't point right, and there's no Grip Force Adapter thing to correct for it because of the grip safety. Then of course there's the epically high bore axis, and very "meh" reset. I'm not a huge fan of Glocks, but my 19's not treated me wrong in any fashion, and it works for everyone in our household--while some couldn't pull back the slide on the XD series. |

Glocks have brick-like ergonomics and blow up.
M&Ps are ugly and have shitty triggers. XDs/XDMs are ugly and have too many safeties. Blah blah blah, Get what you like. I like XDs and XDMs and shoot the shit out of them at the range, in USPSA/IDPA, and at courses. They always work. Period. And I like the way they look. |

I like my .45 XDS much better than the Glocks I've owned. Don't care about the grip safety but it fits my hand better.
Now keeping it out of the shop is another topic. |

Handguns are like shoes, either they fit or they don't.
I had an XD and I hated it. Don't like Glocks either. I love my S&W M&Ps (with Apex triggers ). If you have the choice, get what works best for you. |

About the only way you know about the grip safety is by looking at it.
When firing it's hardly noticed. An .45 XD compact came my way to try out with a few of each 10 & 13 round mags and I decided to keep it. No complaints here. |

You don't buy a polymer gun for looks, you buy it for utility. I chose the M&P out of the three, and after 30 minutes with some polishing belts on the trigger group contact surfaces I'm very happy with it. But I don't really care what it looks like.

The XD lines have supported chambers and have a reputation for reliability and will hold up to strong reloads. Also they tend not to have the glock kaboom. They point well and when holstering you can keep your hand off the grip safety and if anything gets in the trigger its not going to go off.
I like the g19 a lot (is my CCW) but the XD are good shooting guns. They do feel a little top heavy and the lack of factory support is bothersome - lose an extractor, you gotta send the gun back to Springfield. I like the M&P pistols over both. |

The XD is a solid weapon. It's really down to preference. The XDm fits my hand well. The XDs fits my hand the best of any of the subcompact pistols.

Still, bought my daughter a 19 gen 3. I enjoy shooting it, but every time I pull it out my thumb feels homeless. |
