Former Glock Owner - New to XD

Greetings,

Just got my new XD-45. I had a Glock 21 and a Glock 30. The Glocks shot like a dream but never felt comfortable in my hand. The XD fits like a glove and I really like the grip safety and the "hard to miss" loaded chamber indicator.
Oh well, I have not even shot it yet, but looking forward to it. I also have a Taurus 24/7 9mm and a nifty little S&W 637 .38 Special with the crimson trace grips.

Just wanted to say hi!

Matt

Welcome to the forum... and just a side note... most xd guys aren't glock/xd "racist" like some of the glock guys I've seen... We love all plastic guns alike (I do know some pretty decent glock people also) I actually plan on picking one up in the future but I agree with you the ergonomics are a selling point for the xd

Welcome Matt!

My first handgun was a Glock 21 and I had the same problem. It fit me terribly and left abrasions on my hand from the course stippling. Also, the recoil sucked. I bet you'll find your XD has a smoother power curve on the recoil and thus less 'perceptable' recoil, like I did. Also, I can shoot it all day long with no discomfort.

Welcome to the club!

The Glock 21 is a brick. The 19 on the other hand is just my speed, and the only Glock I seem to really like.

Thanks guys!
Now to see if I can carve out some time to hit the range. She sure seems like a nice weapon!

sincerely,
