It's almost like all of the XD owners point out the GLOCK Kaboom, but fail to mention the documented and just as rare XD Kaboom.

I know lots of people who are very happy with their XD's, and I don't interrupt anyone when they recommend it. It's a great gun, I'm sure. But it sure as hell left a bad taste in my mouth.

Anyway...



I would like to know how the XD is the first "quantum leap in handgun technology" since GLOCK???? How exactly is this so? They copied off the GLOCK for the basics and changed a couple of things that 50% didn't like about the GLOCK (i.e. grip angle and lack of fancy safety gimmicks, half like them, half don't).

Philadelphia......

It's great that the XD got gun of the year by a magazine. That means nothing to me (advertising, business, yea, it's all there), not to mention they can't give the GLOCK gun of the year for the past 2 DECADES.

Enough about GLOCK though. I didn't intend my original post being a GLOCK VS XD post. Lots of people own the XD and love it, more so than their glocks. I'm sure it's a great gun. But two XD's, same day, both failures, is just too much for me to ever like them. It's a bummer because the XD-9 sub was a really comfortable, great shooting gun. Same accuracy as the GLOCK, and perhaps it was even more comfortable. But I'll trade off that little bit of "hand" comfort for the comfort of knowing my gun will go bang. Again, I'm not saying that the XD won't go bang if I were to get another, but "I" KNOW that the glock will (purely personal comfort/trust issue).

You bash the XD, we provide support from experience and reliable sources, you go Glock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock GlockGlock Glock Glock.


yep, that about a summation of the thread...cool out man, you had one bad experience with an XD, we've had many many good experiences to equal you 15,000 round perfection many times over. No one is trying to make this thread a pissing contest for which firearm is better...glocks are good, I know it...I don't care.

Love mine. Eats anything, fires smooth, durable, reliable, accurate, and small. I carry it and couldnt be happier. Trigger is not the best, but lets not be too picky for a gun this good.

I carry in a Desantis "tuck this" tuckable holster, it works. Looking to upgrade to a minotaur when my wallet replenishes for the holidays and AR build.

there is only one prob with the XD: people see it, and talk about glocks.

The problems were because the XD was not PINK

A colored firearm is a productive firearm!

Please lets not turn this thread into something ugly.
There have been plenty of threads that were gun specific and turned into a vicious comparison thread.
Lets try to keep it somewhat pointed to the op's question. And if it can't be that way, please at least keep the debates civil.

M'Kay? Thank you!

I have both a 9mm service and a 9mm sub and have never had an issue with either. 1000% confident they will go bang when I want them to...

You need to put on your reading glasses. I did NOT bash the XD. Read the 10 times in my single post that I clearly stated, THE XD IS A GREAT GUN AND MANY PEOPLE LOVE IT. You sure seem to be taking this personally.

Somebody asked for GOOD AND BAD EXPERIENCES. I posted my BAD EXPERIENCE (even going as far as stating, gasp, EXTREMELY RARE) , instead of copying and pasting retarded magazine articles. Common sense goes a long way my friend , as does simple reading comprehension.

Here, this one is for you..



Now go back and read the ORIGINAL POST OF THIS THREAD. In case you rmathematical skills are as bad as your pre-school reading comprehension skills, I'll save you the trouble of finding "number 1".

What's everybodies experiance with them,,good and bad.

I asked about the XD Sub,,I can't wait for the Damn thing to get here.
I've had XD40 Service and regret trading it.
Has been interesting reading everyones comments.

As for the one negative comment with the Rental gun.
The only reason people jumped back with there responces is because you had a bad expierance and from that you state the XD is junk..of course people are gonn'a respond to that,every brand has some lemons out there.

I don't mind people jumping back, I don't even mind them jumping first. It's just amusing that they get so worked up that someone had a bad experience with an XD. But as you can see, I don't just "bash" the XD. Like I said 20+ times, the XD is a great gun, but do to my (RARE, as stated) experience, I could never personally recommend them to anyone. However, I would never say "don't buy it!" to anyone either (as already stated also), even though I passed on the XD-9 subcompact.

But you probably just thought I was being a smart ass. As you can see, this wasn't the only "kaboom", as mentioned by others in the thread....and it's the same stupid reason that happens with the "other" kaboom guns. Either way, you can't blame a gun for not doing what it wasn't designed to do.
