XD or Glock

[chizzle]

I bought an XD tactical in 9mm and sent it to Canyon Creek Customs for a 3 lb trigger job, sights, and a tungsten guide rod. Their trigger job dramatically reduces pretravel and overtravel, creating a nearly 1911-like trigger in a gun with the same grip angle as a 1911/2011 pistol. I've felt a lot of raced-up Glock triggers, but I've never felt a production legal trigger that was on par with what Canyon Creek can do with an XD. I also prefer the XD because I have a 2011, so the grip angles are the same between my race guns, resulting in a smoother switch between one or the other.

While you can't argue with Glock's reliability or availability of spare parts, I prefer the Springfield XD for my USPSA production gun.

As far as cost of the gun is concerned, shouldn't one worry more about the cost/Caliber of ammo since gun cost is minor over the long run than ammo cost?

If that was the case we would all be shooting water guns...

I own a G34 and have shot the XD, prefer my Glock but an XD is a nice firearm. It's nice that the XD comes with a steel guide rod. One thing nice about the Glocks too is you can get all kinds of aftermarket parts.

Shoot whatever makes your hand the happiest. It really is that simple.
