glock 21 or XD-45?

[GunTroll]

I got the 21SF and like it better than the XD. I don't like the look of the XD. I do like the value of the XD package. I'd take an XDM if they made it in 45. Bet its in the works for a latter day. If you do go 21SF don't get the one with the picatinny rail for holsters aren't readily abundant for it. I got the pic rail model and had to look around for a holster. Ended up with getting a blade tech for like $125. That rail is unnecessary on a pistol. The glock rail is just fine. I took a Glock armorers course and the Glock rep even said it was dumb. Glock tried to get in on the bid for a ARMY contract and he said that was what the ARMY was looking for. Glock didn't get awarded the contract. Its a toss up. I like less safeties IMO. GO GLOCK!

M&P .45. Slightly lower ammo capacity but is the best of both worlds, plus its US made, unlike either of the other offerings.

I got the XD .45 when it first came out, for my 21st birthday.

I have heard that they have improved in this respect, but the XD .45's trigger in my particular instance was HORRIBLE. Spongy, tons of creep. I could shoot better with any other pistol simply because of that.

Definitely check out the trigger before you commit to an XD. Crisp is the word, and I'd pass on it if it was spongy.

I've had a Glock 21 for over 11 yrs now and love the way it handles. My wife has an XDM9 and it's super smooth on the recoil. Hell, get em both!

Pick one and practice with it. It doesn't matter which you pick, they are a wash except for personal preference.

Um, BTW, Glocks sold in the USA are made in Smyrna, GA...
