Or which is better a Ford or a Chevy?


Coke or Pepsi?


AK or AR?


9mm or .45?


Blonds or Brunettes?

Well this is pretty simple. Fords, Coke, AR, .357 Sig, and many Blonds are Brunettes so I guess that you're safe either way.

As to Glock vs. XD..............I think the Sig 226 has them both beat.

I see a lot of posts in this thread about hand fit, safeties, what you shoot best, etc. that are all good and relevant points.

When I hear a question like Glock vs XD, I'm thinking the op wants a single pistol that might be used for defensive purposes. I'm also thinking about the very real possibility of a SHTF scenario in the US, which is very likely to occur, especially with the deficit being at 1.5 Trillion and the Fed monetizing the debt for the next few months. So, this changes the game in the way I would make this decision.

So, the key factors for me is reliability, availability of parts and ease of detail stripping and replacing any parts necessary to keep the gun up and running.

The Glock fits this bill perfectly. The XD does not.

The Extractor on an XD is a critical part that is a royal bitch to replace on your own. This in my mind should be factored in for strong consideration...

?

Paladin7, what does an SHTF scenario stand for?

 

[Ben86]

It stands for when *feces hits the fan, or when things go wrong.

*replacement for actual word

Shot both. Bought the XDm. Glock had a better stock trigger but i liked the customizable grip on the XDm. Parts for XD(m) is not an issue as they are as plentiful as glocks on the internet.

Both have passed the 20k round abuse test. (ie. chemically stripped of lubricant and fired 20k rounds) Both of also done the frozen/dumped in sand/dropped from 20ft test and still functioned flawlessly (other than a 15# trigger )

flip a coin, you will be happy with either result.
