After owning 5 Glock pistols (still have 4) over a period of 12 years I find myself straying to the dark side . Im going to buy a sub compact for ccw tomarow and I am thinking of Getting a Springfield XD 9 sub comp instead of a Glock 26 . The XD can be had for cheaper and they seem to be at every store around here. I like the 26 but it has the finger groove that pisses my stumpy fingers off terribly , and its 50-60$ more and its less availible What to do

I'm not making a recommendation here, just stating what I would be thinking about: If I'm used to the Glocks and currently carry a Glock I would stick with the Glocks because I'm familiar with them. When it comes to CCW I'm very picky about what I carry is what I shoot on a regular basis. I wouldn't want to grab my CCW and find out that I haven't had the time behind it prior to the poop hitting the fan. I would like to buy an XD myself but I wouldn't automatically make it my CCW until after I'd had several thousand rounds through it and I was comfortable enough to trust my life on it. The one thing I probably would do if I started carrying it is bounce back and forth between the XD and Glock...but I'm funny about that kind of stuff

I own both and I have no doubt the XD is every bit the quality of the Glock. The XD is a superb gun and will serve you well. FWIW Both my Glock 22 and 23 have jamed several time and my XD has never jamed in thousands of rounds. I know that probibly does not carry much weight though. |
