Okay since I opened the box let me try to explain as well as show my point. From what I read both opinions and exact Technical information,(some of the Technical information that was stated was expert like), the XD appears to be a safer Hand Gun then the Glock

As far as MC Donald goes none of us were in the car to see what the woman was wearing and whether she had a Thermometer in her lap (I kept it nice) or how she approached MC Donald’s about paying her Medical Bills.

The Government made the Tobacco Companies put the warning about the health risks about smoking on Cigarette Packs, a fact that people should by know. As for being more addictive than Cocaine, maybe so, but I see them sold everywhere and not snorted..

Open up Glocks Web Page and it says “ Glock Safe Action Pistols” Open up the Springfield Armory sight and it says” Spring field Armory Xd Series” Then I found this please read or (have read to you) Item 5 I eliminated the rest to save space.

General

Glock Info

Durability - Glocks will go on and on and on and on. There's no way I could wear one out in my lifetime.

Simplicity - It's the only semi-automatic handgun that is simple enough for me to work on. I have no gunsmithing training but I can completely take apart my Glock and replace any part in it. Try that with a HK or 1911.

Trigger action - Glock has the same trigger pull every time, all the time. No switching from double action to single action, no de-cocking.

No manual safety - This means less complication when drawing and firing and no question about whether the gun is on safe or off safe.
-

Now go the XD Website and read (or have read to you) the part that Xd incorporates all the features from Sigs Glock and the 1911.

Now Lawyers for Glock will have all kinds Experts testify that the Glocks are safe. If allowed by the Judge, the Lawyer might show articles, test reports both the XD and the Glock Forums about safety issues and other complaints related to Glocks.

Remember the statement at OJs trial if the glove don’t does not (whatever) fit you got to acquit.

The Slime ball Lawyer in his closing statement might say something like you have heard a lot of experts and other testify about the safety of Glocks. Remember these are just ordinary HAND picked people and the saying that picture is worth a thousand words, Slimeball will hold up a Glock an Xd then say something like if Springfield Armories can combine the best features (including safety) of 3 Hand Guns one being a Glock why didn’t Glock try to recall retrofit or redesign them it to make them safer.

He might even say THE GLOCK IS A CROCK THE XD IS NOT

This might not close the box but someone’s hand is hopefully on the lid.

That's the first mistake. Cops are not trained to any "higher standard" than the 'average civilian' (SWAT/CRT excluded) though they all seem to think so. Unless by "higher standard" you mean Basic Safety/Usage and by "Average Civilian" you mean any individual who has never handled a firearm.

I shoot with LE's all the time at the range and they all S.U.C.K/wouldn't want them trying to shoot someone holding me a knife point :P We'd BOTH be dead. Granted not all LEO's show a callus disregard for marksmanship. but from what I've seen/heard (brother in-law is a leo), the story does not surprise me. Another over-confident negligent LEO. You never hear professional sport shooters "Accidentally" shooting someone in the back (SAFETY FIRST-ALWAYS).

Some say XD vs Glock is a matter of which one feels better but.... the XD has 0 official "problems" (like blowing up for instance :P).

The M16 issue most likely had nothing to do with the safety switch of the firearm. It just jams sometimes.

ROFLMAO!!!!!
