Glock or Springfield XDM

[Plinkuh]

The age old debate between the heavyweight polymer pistol contenders. I choose Glock, only because I haven't had much range time with XD(m)'s. I like the fact that they have the grip safety, and I also HATE that fact...

That is all, continue to debate!

When I read that Glock was FINALLY going to reduce the grip girth with the 4th gen guns I looked and looked and looked until I finally got my wee little hands on one in person. Finally getting to handle a Glock 19 4th gen with the smallest back-strap I was sadly underwhelmed. It DID feel better than previous generations but it still felt very similar to picking up a chunk of 2x4 timber and holding it up like a gun.

On the other end of the spectrum, I'm dissatisfied with the grip-length on my 4.5" XDm .40 (even with the largest backstrap) & am waiting for the vehicles to stop ing on me so I can swap over to a regular size Glock 20 to pick up some extra grip-length goodness...as well as 275 ft/lbs of muzzle energy.

That said, if Springfield would make an XDm in 10mm Auto with a larger grip, I'd be all over it in a heartbeat, as I prefer the ergonomics (save grip length) to the slippery-smooth "you may only put your fingers between the grooves" design of Glocks. Perhaps I could buy a G20 G4 from a unicorn somewhere...

had both but prefer the xdm by far. the glock never felt right. it would be a good idea to try and shoot both prior to purchase

Both are great guns I would bet my life on.I like the glock due to the long trigger reset on the XD.

G-town for me as well.

I would buy the glock for ccw. I have them both but only carry the glock.
