SCXD or "baby" Glock...? - Page 4 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Having owned both, I am partial to the XDSC. That said, there are many small, 9mm platforms. I would suggest visiting a gun shop with a lot of options.

The Walther P99C, Glock 26, Beretta 9000s, H&K P2000SK and Bersa MiniThunder 9 are all in that size category. The Bersa and the 9000s have decocker and manual safety, the H&K and Walther have decocker options, the Glock has neither. They range from $300-800, so pick your budget and your weapon.

The XD is big and heavy, but I like the way the pistol shoots so much that I want to be able carry it at all times. I also don't have the bucks to buy another 9mm.

Currently, I carry my smaller Beretta Tomcat, during warm weather, but am hoping the new ankle holster will work out for the XD.

I have the Done Hume "Agent " Holster for my XD9SC from Pistol Gear and all I do is wear a long shirt or jacket over it and it's REALLY comfortable.
It is an OWB though. That's the only way I personally like to carry.
I think we are the only ones that think that the XD's are bulky.
Nobody else seems to see them.

If I were buying one, I'd definately buy a G26. I own and carry a G27, and it conceals great, and fits great in the hand.

I'm not opposed to XDs, I own one and wouldn't hesitate buying another. My Glocks feel better in my hands, and a little slimmer than the XDs; easier to conceal. Just my opinion.

WOW...thanks for all the information. I was going to check out the gun shop this weekend just didn't have the time to. I saw that someone suggested I get an XD9 yet I already have one. I am looking for more of a summer conceal carry pistol. Thanks for all the suggestions...many have been taken into consideration.
