glock 21 or XD-45

[BadShot]

BTW, I would go with the XD, I love being able to quickly verify if it's loaded and mine (XD-9) was cheaper than the Glock.

Every one is loaded.. always.


Both are good guns, the Ergonomics of the grip angle are closer to that of a 1911 on the XD. The addition of the grip safety, loaded chamber indicator, a few more barrel sizes and finally a wider aftermarket supply has made the XD a viable choice.

The Glock... well it's a Glock, boringly reliable, great aftermarket options (parts, holsters, mags, sights, ect..) and plenty of community support for the series. Great gun and you really can't go wrong with them.,

Mind you I've shot a G21 enough to know it's dead nuts reliable and accurate, and actually own a XD45C. I went with the XD because the grip diameter felt better and the angle mattered to me. That was before the G21SF came out and not I'm seriously considering changing to that version. I just don't feel the need to rush out into that purchase becaues the XD is as reliable and accurate as I could hope for.

All of that is just my not so humble opinion and YMMV

Oh, I know, "A gun is always loaded". I had that drilled in to me and it's good advice to a point, but if people actually took that literally: It would be stupid to change your target at a shooting range or look down a barrel to check for pitting. I wouldn't leave a "loaded" gun in my room either (or anywhere but on me for that matter, it takes almost no time to chamber a round). I would never point a gun at someone, even with the chamber open, but it is helpful to see or feel quickly if the gun is truly ready to go.
