What has more aesthetic appeal to it? Or a better, more accurate depiction of my personal feelings, what is uglier? The GLOCK or the XD?
I think the GLOCK is actually more aesthetically appealing than the XD. Though I've heard nothing but good things about the XD, I think it's terribly lacking in the aesthetics department, almost to the point that it's as if those europeans that designed it wanted it to look as butt-ugly as they possibly could with those weird, unexplained contours and overall awkward silhouette. However, as much as the GLOCK may look GLOCK-y (and blocky, and otherwise in harmony with its mid 90's Volvo-ness), it's also showing its age in style (and in some reports, its performance?)
This is purely a light hearted thread, to be sure. I mean nothing but jest, honestly. But I hope that disclaimer doesn't encourage people to get into a "versus" debate in terms of performance and reliability. Strictly aesthetics here, folks.
