If it's a mag thing and you dont want to buy more XDm mags then go and get the Glock as you stated you dont want to keep changing mags but if it were me I would buy more XDm mags and keep practicing on reloading.

I shoot the Glock much better than the XD. I consistantly hit low with the XD. The hump on the backstrap of the Glock raises it just enough with my grip to center my point of aim. So.....I'd have to go Glock, although I do have a XD45.

Also, the new RTF grip on the Glock is to die for. It will stick in your hand and not creep like the XD

Shane'...... are you talking about an "XD" or a "XDm"?
OP was asking about a XDm

Had one,..... sold it. I have a Glock for CCW, but that is it. I have other weapons for range toys.

I prefer the XDM due to the grip angle. But, if you like Glocks, you would be stupid to get anything else.

The angle on the XDm for me is way better. Granted I had a G23C, so it was the mid-size one but the angles are the same. But if you shoot better with the Glock then I'd go with that.

You can get Glock mags for like $10 (knock offs) and XDm's for $25 (last I checked was like 1.5 months ago). So depending on how many you need that can start to add up.

I have 3 XDm ones but how many do people usually end up getting if they do match uspsa?

Also if you plan on using that Kel-Tec SUB-2000 (is that what your talking about?) a lot then you almost have to get a Glock. But again I loved my G23C with the 3.5# trigger but the angle really, really sucked for me.

I bet it would be interesting to contrast this question on a Glock forum.
Here: everyone says go with what works best for you. They like the XDm, but they can accept if you like Glock better.
Glock forum:They will probably think your insane for owning anything but a Glock. That's if they even acknowledge that another gun exists in the first place. Glock fans can be rather elitist sometimes.

+1 on this,how can you be an elitist with an inferior gun? Dont get me wrong i own both and love both. Its just the xdm is a better made gun. The guy who used the corvette analogy hit right on the head.

Id go XDm any day over a Glock. There isnt a single advantage to the Glock over one other then a lower price.

You GET what you pay for.

yeah accept instead of 1999, it's really a 1979 Corvette. Glock's are piles compared to XD's, I'm not saying they are bad guns. But if given the choice of either, I'd take the XD(M) any day of the week.
