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

I have been looking at these two platforms and just can't seem to settle down on one or the other. It will be chambered in 9mm. I will be gettin my CCW in the coming weeks and want to be able to carry from the get go. Let me in on any insights. Thanks

I am biased, but I would go with the XDSC. Which one feels better to you?

Richard L Shield · 03-28-2007, 10:52 AM

Have you had the chance to shoot them both. I would get the one that fits your hand better, and that you shoot better.
I like the XDs because I shot a lot of 1911s and they point better for me. I shoot high with the glocks.

I'm partial to the baby Glock.

I think the G26 is just as accurate as the SC XD if not more so and slightly smaller, but I'd still recommend shooting both and picking the one you feel the most comfortable with.

Have you looked at the Smith and Wesson M&P 9c ? If not, at least hold one at the store before making a decision between those two.

I like the XD better then the baby glocks... I have shot both, XD is just more comfortable to me. I also think they shoot better, and as far as concealed carry, the XD is safer with the grip safety. My 2 cents

I could do a G17 or G19 but the small Glocks don't do it for me.

i was in the same predicamint a week ago today i went with the 26 i like both the xd and the glock but i love the 26 after getting it more accesories ,holsters,spare parts are a whole lot easier to get and have instaslled but one day i will get me a 2 tone xdsc

I have both. I prefer the G26 over the XD SC since it fits my hands better and I am more accurate with it.

Like others have said, hold both and pick the one that fits you best. Otherwise if you can't decide get both hehe.

I was in the same dilemma. I went in looking for a G26 and didn't know much about the XDs. While I was waiting on the BC, I happened to notice the XDSC. Picked it up and loved it. I ended up getting neither, I got the XD9 service instead. It was not that much bigger and cc has not been a problem. Plus I like the fact of the 4" barrel for accuracy and practicality.
