Too many issues to name here Ha, I would never buy a plastic Beretta, their 92 series is good but their new stuff is not up to par. Glocks have proven themselves for years, are widely available, simple to use/fix/replace, and are inexpensive. Saying all polymer guns are equal is as retarded as saying all metal guns are equal these days.

I have never had any of my springfield models, and I've owned compacts, service models, tacticals, and XDMs in assorted calibers. I've shot a variety of ammunition in all of them. And I've never had a single stovepipe, failure to extract/ eject, fire, or feed. What unconventional shooting position has ever caused a malf? I'd personally like to know so I can shoot from that position myself.

Here are a couple links to some torture tests in case you wanted to read up on them.

I have shot all three and would say between the Glocks, M&Ps and XDs it comes down to what fits your hand better and personal preference.

I would also have to agree with that.

Mainly shooting around barricades, off hand, one hand pretty much anything that reduces wrist strength. I was just my data point, and me as a person, YMMV. If you never had issues then that is awesome, keep it up.

That's a wrist tension issue, not a firearm or barricade one. Easy fix.

Yeah, i know, but I have never had those issues with my glock 23. I am just being honest about my individual experiences as a shooter.

I have an XD9 that the "striker retaining roll pin" broke on in less than 100 rounds of ammo. Didn't need to do much research after that on their reliability. That being said, we replaced the roll pin and it is my wife's favorite pistol, one that she adopted as hers. It has been fairly reliable since, but looking at the wall thickness of that .35 cent roll pin has made me skeptical. I am also not a fan of the fact that it is 100% cocked while carrying. While this adds to a lighter feeling trigger pull on her XD, I like the idea of the 70% cocked action of the glock with the trigger cocking it the rest of the way. Safer in my mind...especially considering the cheapo roll pin.
I currently own all three and do believe that it comes down to the pistol you like to shoot, but I definitely give the nod to the M/P or the Glock as far as parts quality and simplicity. With my wife and I shooting about 1000 rds/month out of them, it is very obvious that my Glock will go longer without care than the XD. We haven't put much through her M/P as it is a compact model, so I don't have as honest and accurate comparison there.
