My XD9

Liked it better than the Glock 17

Very nice. I have an XD9 and XD45ACP and like them both.

I probably ran 500 rounds through it with no malfs. Very satisfied. :P

Yeah took a fairly new shooter out a few weeks ago who snagged a 4" XD45 (the price was right and I did recommend .45 to him) so it was my first chance to shoot one. I fell in love. It's my next pistol for certain. For me the smaller grip size really brings it out infront of the Glocks, damn smooth trigger and the mag feeding felt smooth and had a positive click to indicate seating. I think if you're looking at Glocks, you really would do yourself a dis-service by not looking at the XD's as well.

+1 on XD's. Had to sell my XD9 which was a very nice gun. I still have the XD45 that (for me at least) handles better than a Glock although I admit it's been shot very little. Would echo everything BadShot said about the XD's. Not a 1911 trigger ... but then it isn't a 1911 and wasn't meant to be

+3 on the XD's I've got two of them. 357 SIG Service and 9MM Sub Compact.

just curious on why you like it better than the glock...

[nooobie]

The XD has the additional safety on the backstrap. It has the indicator on the back of the slide telling you it's cocked. It has the chambered round indicator on top of the slide. I had the opportunity to shoot them both at the same time and just liked the way the XD felt in my hand and shot. I like Glocks too. There's a lot more accessories available for the Glocks. Don't be surprised if one day I'm posting a pic of my new Glock.

Meaning no disrespect to XD owners

they seem to be decent pistols

They almost had me with the 5" XD45

But...heeelllloooo M&P45!

[BadShot]

And if you keep waiting, there will always be something sexier..FN has a .45 coming out too.. can you wait for that? Or are you going to wait for the new slim form factor Block.. er Glock?

Just kidding man... actually I really like my XD45C, not getting rid of my SIG by any stretch, but the XD is a fine evolution to the concept that Glock started and you'll be hard pressed to find something that performs as well out of the box in the price range.
