I'm a member of the unorganized, unfunded, unofficial Citizen Army of the USA. Since it's unorganized with no actual leadership, I promote myself to General. (5 star).

Oh yes, I do use the XD.

 

[XD9Sub]

Yes, many LEOs carry XDs. Check out the LEO forum

I'd like to form an alliance with your force. I myself am General of the Oregon High Cascade Civilian Guard.

Back on track...I have seen them in Denver PD holsters. (I think Denver still allows 1911 carry as well).

The Cole County Missouri Sheriff's Dept has been carrying XD's for about 3 years.

Looks as if we have a couple of generals, a sgt and a cpt in the new unit. Now where do the troops come from.

 

[mito]

If you buld it they will come. Hell i will lead follow or whatever i need to do.

Ironically the M&P has greatly surpassed the XD in this respect. Interesting since the XD has been out at least 3-4 years longer than the M&P.

 

[FATSEXY]

That's very interesting, can't say I fault anyone for loving the M&P, it's a heck of a gun.

Interesting link from that same page... says that GLOCK has 50% of the LEO market now, hmmm... seems like it was 70% a few years ago, I wonder what the CKool-Aid drinkers are thinking about this??

 

[Monkey Boy]

I was talking to a Firearm Instructor in Texas,ands he says his local PD issues the XD,but the problem with the XD not being seen in more Police holsters is due to "Springfield has a legal position that has kept them from creating a armorer program.S&W has a aggressive armorer program that sets up local PD gunsmith as certified armorer's."So,that might be one reason why the M&P is outpacing the XD in Police use.

Ergonomics of the M&P just didn't appeal to me.I abhor that segmented trigger and find beavertail to add unecessary length compared to recoil reduction benefits.I'm a long time Glock user,but wanted a Poly Pistol with a Thumb Safety.T/S on the XD seems to lock have better positive locking & a flatter profile compared to M&P's somewhat obtrusive one.XD is unique with that stand-off which might come in handy in CQC.

 

[Mercmar]

Glock has over 70% of the l.e. business. That's not likely to change anytime soon. Even if Springfield begins to match Glock's incentive prices for l.e., there's still the armorer-training program. Even we simpletons can completely disassemble a Glock with no special tooks in a couple of minutes. There are no roll pins in Glocks. There are also fewer parts in Glocks than in XDs, and there are many more parts available for purchase by the general public and by l.e. from Glock than Springfield, for their XDs.

I'm not saying that Glocks are better than XDs. For a lot of folks, XDs are clearly a better choice than Glocks. Just making the point about ease of training cops as armorers, parts availability, etc.
