This.

Had a buddy buy a Kimber .45 and I bought my Glock 36 .45. Best part... Out of the box I could carry mine. He had to send 1000 rds through the Kimber before it was "reliable" to carry. Oh and I spent one, third as much.

(Kimber was still a NICE gun!)

Yeah, but different guns with a different purpose. I love my 1911, but I didn't buy it to carry. I bought it to have a pretty gun.

There is always this issue.

Realistically though, that was an isolated set of issues. I love them, I just don't like how they fit in my hand.

1911's are expensive, beautiful, and have a great history. All very helpful to impress your friends, and turn heads at the local range. If I had an extra 3000 laying around, I'd pickup a Wilson Custom. But I would NEVER rely on one to save my life.

I have a LOT of experience with Springfield's and Glocks. Both solid and reliable firearms.

A few friends of mine have the M&P's and I've heard a lot of great things about them.

I noticed you listed 357SIG twice, I'm guessing it was an accident. However, my Glock 33 is a 357SIG, and it is awesome. I recommend it for daily carry if you can hang onto it

If this is for home defense only, get a full sized pistol (not a compact or "sub-compact"). They are easier to hang on to, and the longer barrel will undoubtedly make you more accurate.

You can pick up a Springfield for around 500, if you keep an eye out. I have a friend that just bought one off a private seller for 475. I have a Charles Daly compact .45 that stays by the bed. Old mossberg 12 in the closet.

My next purchase will be an FN five-seven. Just trying to find one in the 850-900 range. FN is often overlooked but have really good guns, and I think they are pretty close to Sig Sauer quality.

I like the Ruger mini-30 to reach out with. I like the 7.62 over the 223. 200 yd open sights is no problem.

Although the title of this is glock vs xd, it's really glock versus anything. Everyone with any opinion on glock (good or bad) should take the 3:00 minutes and watch it.

Thanks! The engraving and the silver Plaque. Also you get a certificate of authenticity with number of 2500. Only 2500 are being made for the U.S. only.
