I am an XD convert. As reliable with less recoil, better grip and stock sights. I would like to get some work done on the trigger though to remove some of the slack. (just my opinion)
To date, I have NEVER had a single instance with my XD-45 Compact. And I admit to shooting some REALLY cheap no-name ammo through it. Shooting an XD .40 and .45 along side of Glock models is enlightening. It is a bit like the Coke Vs. Pepsi debate, however.
I also own an older XD9. No problem with it, other than the grip.
Glock fits the hand better to me. And I’ve also thrown some cheap ammo through it, hollowpoint, hardball, and it swallowed it fine and spit it out fine as well.
But I’ve carried my G19 every day for the last ten years, and to me, it’s the AK47 of the handgun world... ultra reliable, utilitarian, and rocksolid rugged.
I was just stirring the pot, heheh! Knew people would bite on it...I expect the 1911 gunnies to start berating me anytime now...
The Glock doesn't fit my hand as well, isn't as comfortable to shoot, but it is tiny, accurate, and functions flawlessly.
