Hi, all. Earlier this spring, I wrestled with the XD vs MP question in 9mm. After weighing the options, I went with the MP based in no small part on the $50 rebate plus 2 mags at the time. Also, with my small hands, the smaller grip on the MP felt good. The XD isn't bad, but the smaller backstrap made the MP a smidge better feeling.
So, my question is for those of you who have shot both the XD9 and MP9 - both full-size, 4" models. How would you compare the two in:
Felt recoil? (Yes, I know this is subjective, but if you've shot both, I figure you can critique both in the same way)
Trigger squeeze/feel?
Trigger reset?
Sights-on-target acquisition?
Concealability?
Other comments most certainly welcome...
I've not shot my MP in a while - my range has been closed for maintenance - but the trigger keeps giving me fits. I've probably got 700-800 rounds through it. It's a software problem - I keep "pushing" the gun, anticipating the trigger - and I'm working on correcting it. Slow process :banghead: I'm wondering if a different gun might make a difference. Before I start hunting someone who will let me shoot his XD, I thought I would ask opinions here.
FWIW, I don't have the "push" problem with my DA revolvers or my 1911.
Thanks!
