XD Convert
I wanted to say Hi to everyone....I was a glockoholic, and I did a horrible thing. I was at the range with a friend who recently picked up an XD-45. I was carrying a G21SF and have been carrying it on duty for about 6 months. Needless to say I picked up his XD and gave a it a run. That afternoon I purchased my XD-45 service model. I have carried Glocks of one caliber or another for 10+ years as a police officer, and have nothing but good things to say about them. I will give credit where credit is due, the XD-45 just plain fits me better than my 21SF. I switched back to 45 ACP about 6 months ago, and decided not to carry my 1911. With the release of the SF, itseemed like a good way to go. The SF fit me way better than the Standard G21, but wasn't perfect. After shooting the XD-45 quite a bit I can say it is worlds better, at least for me. I know glock's are boringly reliable, but so far the XD has been as well. My wife is also an officer, who carried, noticed I say carried a G17 for several years. Well after handling my XD, she is now the proud owner of an XD-9 Bi-Tone. I will be around here quite a bit now to try and catch up with info on the XD's. I like Glock pistols, and Im not bashing them at all. I just feel the XD fits me better, and I finally decided to give something else a try. So far I'm impressed, sorry Gaston, but looks like XD has taken another one from your flock.

Welcome aboard!
Our local Sheriff's Dept had a similar experience awhile back. They had been carrying .40cal Glocks for 8 years till they were given some XD45's to try. Now they are carrying XD45's and love them! |

Welcome to the forum from California.
I'd shot a Colt Govt 1911 for years, and my wife enjoyed shooting it too. Then I bought an XD 45 Compact. My wife wanted to try my new pistol. "Oooo! I like the way this shoots, and it's not as nose-heavy as the Colt. Why can't I have one like that?" The rest, as they say, is history. She will be the proud owner of an XD 40 SC at the end of the month.
