I shot a glock once with stock sight my split times sucked major. I never liked those marks on my barrel, i alwaye figured the slide and barrel were slamming during rearward motion of slide, which I feared would screw with accuracy. I soon got over though.

 

You're more than welcome to take a look at the wear on my Gen 2 19 when I get it back. Just sent it in for a frame upgrade and STEEL sights($20)

 

Both are quality handguns. Pick one and train with it.

 

I shot a Glock once and couldn't get the taste out of my mouth for months. This is my confession.

 

I've owned both and they are fine guns, pick the one you like and be happy. I don't think there is any build quality differences between the 2.

People like to say that Glocks get their reliability from loose tolerances but I've seen guys who can shoot their Glocks a lot better than I can shoot any gun I own so I doubt they have loose tolerances (which would equal poor accuracy).

I don't care for Glocks and am often times very irritated by the silliness of SOME of their owners, but they are excellent quality guns (just not for me).

 

Both are high quality. imo the XD/XDm are some of the highest quality polymer pistols made. Thats probably why they have a life time warranty.

 

I have both and Enjoy both. Guess that's really no help. My xdm looks better and the grip is better for me but the Glock is simple as is gets in a pistol for complete tear down. I won't be getting rid of either one anytime soon.

ROFL!


I have had three XD's, never had a hiccup. I currently have a G19 Gen3, and it's only fantastic!
Shoot what you like/fits you well, and have fun.

 

if i were a lumber jack i wouldnt mind holding the part of the gun glock calls the "grip"

I guess loose tolerances was the wrong word choice , I dont think the glock is a less accurate system I was just sort of surprised by the lack of wear from shooting it. im actually more accurate with his glock than my xdm at the moment , as I get a tight group but havent yet got past the low right (im left handed) beginners blues with it but I think a backstrap change should help.

What is a glock?

Go with what shoots better and which makes you happy. People get too wrapped up with really minute differences between guns. There are a lot of really great guns being made right now and as consumers we have lots of fine choices. Glocks were the gun to buy when I bought mine and just have never liked them, so I bought others that I liked better. Right now I only have a couple of polymer guns, an XDM and a M&P. I much prefer my Sigs and 1911's.

Trigger time with any gun will smooth out any of the small
stuff we tend to magnify.

Amen brother, buy what you will spend time shooting and enjoy.

 

I saw this thread and thought..here we go here come the haters lol. Finish wear is not a sign of misfunction as stated by a few. Springfield's, especially XDMs/XDS have match barrels with very tight tolerances. I love my glocks, they simply have a different barrel and ejection design. One of Glocks claims to fame is "They never FTF". Glocks are specifically designed to have the right recipe of "loose tolerance" so the slide will always return to battery. At battery the barrel is designed to be locked in for the next shot where Springfield designs its barrels to function much like a 1911 and barrel bushing where the barrel is continuously riding into proper seat. At least that has been my observation.

 

I own several XD models and one Glock G19 Gen 4.

While the Glock isn't my cup of tea ergonomically, I've got no problem with the accuracy, reliability or quality. As others of said, I simply prefer the XD/XDm/XDs.

 

I own both (heavier on the Glock side) and the one thing I prefer with the Glocks are they easier to detail clean, and don't have as many nooks and cranny's. I don't like Glock sights, I always swap them, and the (only 34 parts) thing is nice.
