i need another 40. want a full size, and have narrowed it down to 2 (well, maybe 3)...
need some input on the glock 22 and springfield xd-40. are there any absolute cons to either one? i handload, so i'm a little concerned about the exploding glock stories i hear... things like mag cost and availability would be nice to know, as well as rust problems (i know the plastic won't rust, but the barrel is still steel - how much neglect can they handle?), aftermarket parts availability and necessity, etc... spent the last 3 days on glock talk, firing line, and here looking for input.
if i'm able to afford it, i'll just get the sig 226 and be done w/ it, but it seems that the sig might be a little on the unobtainable side ($$$). through much driving and harassing a lot of shops, i've been able to eliminate beretta and h&k, so i'm down to glock and xd...
