I have been shooting handguns for 45 years, transitioning from revolvers to 1911s to DA/SA autos to finally strike fire guns. Still love my Glock Gen 3 19 and 17. However, picked up my new XD9 yesterday, fired 150 rounds, and I'm sold! Great ergos, sights, and accuracy!
To me the Mod 2 is just like a Glock with the grip safety, which I love. It gives you a striker fired weapon with safety. Too many accidental shootings holstering weapons. With that grip safety it eliminates that from happening basically. With a sensitive trigger it makes me nervous to just have a gun throwing it in and out of a holster and it possibly getting caught on some clothing and firing a shot into my leg. That's why I love the Mod 2. The grip zone writing doesn't bother me at all. Its covered when you use the gun.
funny thing...when I shoot my Mod 2 with "grip zone" , my hand covers it and I can't see it. I think you guys are confusing it with the "gripe zone"... which you come to watch videos on and gripe about stupid things.
Dumb ass comment..u and everyone who say that..it's old now the gun been out for a few years, get some new jokes. "I can't see the grip zone when I grip it!!" Really ?? No shit!!
bratz2 the XD looks like a toy where the Glock is what it is, a weapon. Glock doesn’t put all the little curves and indents Glock doesn’t polish the barrel. Glock is just an extremely well made pistol it’s not supposed to be sexy.
@@ThatNoFbody-ch9ky I don't hate the grip safety, I just don't prefer it. XDs have been reliable in my experience, but i just don't prefer to have a safety on any plastic pistol. Also you still should be using a proper holster either way. If I was issued a XD I'd use it and be happy with it, I just prefer others. Thankfully there are a lot of good choices so every one can have multiple safetys or whatever configuration they want.
Actually the little silver button on the back is not a loaded chamber indicator, that is a striker indicator showing that it can be fired. The little silver thing will still be show after you rack the slide even with an empty chamber. It does have a loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide.
+Justin Teague sootch usually catches these errors, I think he either rushed this video or was pretty tired when he made it. Flattery is the highest compliment! haha.
I bought a Springfield Xd-45 Apc as my first gun unknowingly how much of a badass the XD series is, and it was the only all black gun (witch is what I imagine owning) in the store at that time. Money well spent as well amazing first gun. 😎
Sootch, you have fast become one of my favorite gun reviewers. Your in my top 3 that I watch along with Hickok45 and Military Arms Channel being the other. Keep up the good work.
The Mod 2 is the best “out of the box” pistol hands down. Glock hype beasts are always adding after market parts to their guns and then like to compare and say Glock is king.
I have the XD Mod and subcompact which is my EDC but my Canik TP9SF Elite's trigger is way better out of the box than my XD, and better than any stock and most modded Glocks.
I own both Firearms. Both fun to shoot but I didn't care much for my Glock. It's definitely a matter of personal preference. Love the way the MOD 2 feels on my hand. Love the Grip Safety on the MOD 2 a lot like my 1911. I have a new Crimson Trace Optics installed.
The finish is better on the Mod2 than the original. XD’s point and handle better than Glocks. New shooters will appreciate. Glock triggers are abrupt but predictable. The XD is smoother, but you need a little experience to figure out where it is going to break. The XD’s I have are trickier to figure out where that is, but they are not as crunchy as the Glock, but I can get good squeezes easier with the Glock and all Glock triggers are similar out of the box even the new Gen 5. I couldn’t feel the difference with my Gen 2 which is still stock. XD trigger pulls vary a little from model to model and I’ve had three different models. Just being honest. Slight edge to the Glock there. The Sig P226 is a tank. The Glock has nothing on it but weight savings btw. Many people believe they downgraded.
@@cbwelch4 hello, I am actually looking at getting an HS9 Compact G2 4.0 we get them directly from HS Produkt Croatia. But I have been seeing a lot of extreme commentary for and against it. I will be carrying it and using it for home defense as well. I have seen negative stuff about its mags deforming if you ram em in hard and the slide being raked without depressing safety lever charging rounds without actually resetting the trigger safety. Also, dry firing exercises destroy the firing pin. Etc. In short would you recommend this gun? In Pakistan buying a legal weapon is a huge investment one you just cannot shove into the corner. That's why my nitpicking.
An electric car Rimac. Not a gun, but they’re one of the leaders in electric car technology right now. Porsche bought some stock in then and is using their tech in their new cars.
@@domsugar9160 In Zagreb they have the highest concentration of super hot women in the world (even compared to Milan). They have a totally unspoiled coastline and amazing, great food, excellent representation in the NBA and a national soccer team that just played in the World Cup finals. There are also Roman era ruins, just like in Rome, without the crowds. Marco Polo was born there. The national parks are absolutely stunning as well. Oh, and it's where Zinfandel wine originally came from.
You didn't have to talk me into one or the other! Watching you shoot them made the decision for me. The weak ejection and brass hitting you made me have flashbacks to 2010 when I made the worst handgun purchase of my life (gen4 g19). The malfunctions it had were cleared up by the replacement rsa glock sent me but I still got brass to the face about 5-6 times or more per magazine. After considering getting another g19 for months now I couldn't make myself get one. I bought the mod 2 today. Maybe I'll get a glock when they learn how to make a pistol that ejects properly! Anyway, awesome video!
Thank you for your input, I noticed also, on 14:04 and 14:09, the glock brass flies weak and hit him twice, while the xd brass flies far away. Now I can finally decide which I want. Thanks again.
Just bought an XD mod 2 9mm and I love it already. I am a big Springfield fan and pick an XD over a glock any day. Just a preference, nothing against glock, I just don't like them for some reason. But I would agree, the glock is the AK 47 of handguns. You JUST CAN'T BREAK THEM. But great review, really enjoyed the info. Well done!
just did the same thing this afternoon, shot 100 rounds with my mod 2 after that, love it! glock 19 gen 4 is good, but mod 2 grip is just way more comfortable.
Both good, effective and reliable but XD is better choice. Better quality finish, slightly more robust, extra safety feature, better sights (especially front), better trigger, extra round, two slider finish option, more polymer frame colors, better price. It's really unfair to say that both are equal in such comparative review.
Went to my local gun shop to look at a glock 19 gen 4 it felt pretty nice in the hand and the salesman told me he used it as his home defense gun I thought sounds good to me I'm gunna get one then I looked to my right at the next counter and saw the xd mod 2 fell in love immediately even before I held it in my hand so my next purchase will be the xd 9 mod 2 :)
I got my xd used. There were glocks in the same case and I held both but the determining factor in my choice came down to price and the fact the xd had 5 mags and the glock only had 2. Either gun would've worked for me but the $50 price difference and 3 more mags sealed the deal for me. I've been happy with the purchase and would recommend an xd to anyone that asks but the glock is a good choice as well.
Very helpful! Looking to purchase my first handgun, both of these were recommended to me, I've shot both, and started to favor the Springfield. But after seeing the inside and all of the features it has, I know the Springfield is what I should start with. Thanks!
I don't hate glock but to me Springfield and others offers more for the same or less with better ergos and in some cases better quality. Glock has awful ergos, sights and triggers. Sure you can upgrade but why should I have to when others are coming standard?
XD > Glock Better quality, features, and value. Glock has fallen behind relying too much on their appeal to authority marketing while Springfield literally made a better and safer firearm. It is what it is.
You are exactly right. Glock felt like they would. Ever loose market share and they let a dozen companies over take them in innovation and ergonomics. I've owned 14 Austrians at one time and now I've come to realize I'm 10 years too late falling in love with xd. Xd is the better gun especially in 10mm. Holy shit, no comparison, the 20sf is a tank compared to the xd 10mm. The 9mm is a better gun too. Sorry but they are. Innovation speaking.
Just purchased my 1st Glock (19 gen3). It retails for $599++ here in So CAl. Looking forward to picking it up this weekend. Already own the Xd-40. Love the XD. I’ve heard so much good stuff about the Glock’s, I want to own one myself. Great video, thanks!
Love Glock and Springfield. That said I do not love them equally. The Springfield is the kid that I tell is my favorite while telling it not to tell the other kids LOL.
From this end of the screen, you look like you shoot the XD a lot faster! It looks better, it is just as reliable, and that grip zone, WOOOOO. Good comparison as always sir.
Excellent review, cheers. I am a new firearms instructor and I already own an XD 9 service which I love, but was trying to decide whether to buy another XD 9 or a Glock 19 as many new shooters want a Glock because it's so popular, well...another XD it is. Cheers mate.
@427SuperSnake1.... Lemme specify that even better for you.... you'll take "the Springfield XD and no training" right? Because if you had any credible training then you'd know that Glock is the way to go.
Thank you sir, for a most informative, no-nonsense video in comparing the two popular handguns. For years, I had wished that Glock could make some improvements to its design. Yes, I know, you can just pull it out and shoot without worrying about "Oops, I forgot to disengage the safety!". I tried very hard to convince myself that I might just forget that the safety was on and the gun wouldn't fire when really needed, and so Glock "safe action" was really a sensible idea. That was until I realised that the trigger might catch on to something accidentally while I'm holstering the gun, or on a lanyard, or a corner of my jacket or zipper, etc. I just didn't feel safe if I didn't clear the chamber before I put the gun away. I feel that the Colt 1911 grip safety was a really good idea - the gun won't go off even if I accidentally caught something inside the trigger guard when I wasn't actually gripping the gun Now, Springfield has answered my wishes with not one, not two, but three features that I thought a gun should have: 1) a grip safety. A manual safety is too cumbersome. Just grip and you release the safety - simple and good. 2) loaded chamber indicator on the top of the slide. There had been times when I squeezed the trigger and nothing went off - the round had failed to chamber. Also, I never put a gun away when there is a round in the chamber - for safety reasons. The raised indicator at the top of the Springfield slide lets me know whether a round has been chambered or not. I do rack the slide several times to ensure that the chamber is empty before holstering. Now, I still do that, but I have the added assurance that no round is chambered, and conversely, a round is chambered when I am ready to fire. 3) cock/cocking indicator. There have also been times when I thought I had cocked the gun, but I actually didn't rack the slide far back enough for the gun to be cocked. The cocking indicator eliminates this possibility because there is a dot that I can visually check at the back of the gun when the gun is cocked. Lastly, racking an XD Mod 2 is easier than racking the Glock. It's because the XD Mod 2 has a wedge-shaped notch/grip at the end of the slide. That really helps more than the vertical serrations on the sides of the slide, for both the Glock as well as the XD. However, as far as I know, this nice feature is only available on the Mod 2, and not on the XD, XDM or XDS. This is just my humble opinion. Please don't attack me over this, Glock lovers! I l love the Glock, and I'm simply pointing out why the Springfield XD Mod 2 suits me better that it has these additional features. Safe shooting, everyone!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, I've been trying to figure out which of these I would like for a first handgun. Being a shotgun guy I was in the dark at first, but after reading up and checking them out IRL at my local gunstore(s) I narrowed it down to these two guns. Admittedly i'm leaning toward the XD-9 because of the fiber-optics and the under-barrel rail.
Nice video. I have the Glock 19 and the only complaint I have with it is the take down method. I don't have good grip with my fingers and holding the two tiny slide releases is a pain for me. I've looked for some aftermarket options for replacing the slide release, but haven't found anything.
This is a nice side by side review, great job.. im looking for a full size 9mm, my thoughts as far as these two weapons go just amazing how simple and smooth looking the glocks are, and the sprindfield looks sharp but super aggressive looking like a hk vp9.. the grip zone doesnt bother me at all it may be alittle corny but it'll obviously be covered by ur hand or talon grips of your choosing..
I just got the XD9 mod 2, 4.0. Bought it on Friday out of concern for cost and availability after the election. Now I am thankful that concern was unwarranted. I tried the rental and bought my own. It felt really nice! I intend to use it as a range gun and home defense. I have an M&P9 shield, and Sig P238 (.380 Auto) for conceal carry.
Thank you. Well done, thorough, objective and reasonable. I carry an XD for years, I chose it over the Glock for a number of reasons but they were just personal preference on every way. I decided over the Glock 26 I think it was but there was no fault in either. The XD just spoke to me, in every possible way. I respect Glock and anybody who doesn't know what to buy I just say "find a Glock you like" , suggesting a fitting caliber. That's it. Done. "Get a Glock". Easiest advice ever. I still haven't bought one myself but I respect them to the utmost.
I went to four different local gun stores In Alaska. For the past 6 Months I’ve seen Glocks still sitting there maybe the prices are high or maybe people don’t like glocks. I’m a Springfield guy.
Awesome! You made a video on the 1st 2 handguns I own & plan on sticking with. I got so used to my XD 40 as my carry on & my Glock 19 for my conceal back up. Both are amazing. I could went vice versa too with. Glock 23 & XD 9mm, but cool to another with the same choices as me. I just turned 30 ‘ been shooting my dads 357, & 1911 most my life, but when got old enough I got these on my own.
Thanks for for saying there’s no real winner. That’s the truth. I own both and it’s all down to personal preference. Both are good guns. 👍 Best video comparison I’ve seen. Great job! By the way, I shoot just a little better with the XD, but the Glock is a sweetie too.
Great review and video! My respect for the Glock , I know I'ts an awesome gun but I just fallen in love with the XD-9! It will be my next baby in a couple of days! Thanks for sharing and I just hit that subscribe button and thumbs up!
Someone probably mentioned this, but the XD has a ‘ready to fire’ indicator on the back of the slide, and a ‘round in the chamber’ indicator that pops up on top of the slide. You can feel these without looking.
one of the best video comparisons I've seen. It's good to see a glock owner and lover give respect to the new xd mod.2. I love mine. I actually bought a glock 19 and sold it within about a month and a half. I couldn't get the feel for it and didn't like it. I have since owned multiple XD's and love them. Both great guns but it comes down to personal preference
I have had two XD pistols. The first one was the original XD when it first came into production for the U.S. market. It was a terrific handgun. Recently, I went to the Mod 2, sub-compact 9mm, and I absolutely love this weapon. The modifications to the grip allow your hand to rest higher on the weapon, and this allows for good control. The fiber optic ( replaceable too! ) front sight is so easy to pick up, and I believe much better than just a white dot. The XD Mod 2 is now my EDC weapon, and my Smith and Wesson M&P is my larger service pistol. Great review as usual, sir! - C.J.
I have Glocks, Springfields and S&W M&Ps. All are tough and reliable. I feel Glock has gotten lazy with their styling and ergonomics. Springfield and S&W are constantly improving their product lines and give the consumer more bang for your buck these days.
I have a shield 40 sub. Love it. Lightest gun ive shot. Looking into a new XD 4" 9. Ca. Is a crapshoot as there are only a few semi auto pistols you can buy here.
I would think a glock will have way more aftermarket parts available (upgrades) than the XD. And plus 33rd magazines!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the video, lets me know i made a great choice with my glock 19.
Nice review of both firearms. I myself favor the XD over the Glock. Either one would be good to own. BTW- On the XD, that is the cocked striker indicator on the back, not a loaded round indicator.
+Robert G I owned both G19 Gen 3 and XD-9 Service. I really liked both of these pistols!! The XD fit my hand better and I was more accurate with the XD-9 Service. I added a Powder River Precision "drop-in" trigger and Talon rubber grips to my XD. These mods take the Service XD to the next level.... as for Glock 19?? I traded it for a 1911 45acp pistol.
+Kurtis Polisky I ended up choosing the XD Mod.2 over the XDm only because the mags are interchangeable with my original XD. It feels very solid and comfortable to shoot. I love it!
I've handled a few Glock's and found the take down levers difficult to push with my small hands, and agree the XD is easier because I own the XDs. Also the Glock was to thick in the grip for me. So I chose a few other brands that suit my hands better. And I like the grip safety.
Someone remind how much extra money you typically have to spend on a Glock to get it the way you want. Personally, I prefer the gun that is ready to go out of the box.
In most states, if you are a cop you can't have a modified gun as your duty weapon. It must be stock. Which is why a lot of cops are moving away from the Glock nowadays and switching to M&Ps, SIGs, Berettas and even XDs.
On the XD: that was the "Cocked position indicator" the silver pin on the back. Loaded chamber indicator is located dead center of the chamber on top of the slide. it is both visible and Tactile. Easy to check in the dark w/ a simple touch.
I have both (I have the glock 23 but it’s the same size and the 19) and I love both. Glock, for me, carries easier because of the never ending supply of holsters which makes it easier to conceal in my opinion, but the XD is such a great gun. I use the G23 as my home defense setup though. The XD is one of my range guns and I never leave it home when I go shooting. I carry a Hellcat.
All these comments about Grip Zone are ridiculous. If you aren’t a fan of the XD that’s fine, but if you’re deciding not to buy a gun you otherwise would’ve because of an inch of lettering that’s not visible 95% of the time that’s ridiculous
people keep saying get rid of the grip zone cause it's ugly who cares it's a gun look at a Glock it's ugly too as long as it reliable that's all that matter
The xd is very very ugly, it's a good gun but man they don't hold value at all like a Glock and they are just so ugly idk why. That's honestly the only reason people like glocks better it's more simple
I had a older Springfield XD .45 for a while, but ended up trading it on a Glock 29. The XD's trigger was twenty miles of mush that let go somewhere along the way. Jeff Cooper taught the surprise break, but this was more like a surprising separation of taffy being pulled.
From what I've heard, the new triggers seem to be better, but the XD's virtues are so often characterized as being like some other gun, making me wonder why I shouldn't just get the other gun.
Yep, I agree. The XDM has a better trigger from what I've heard. I went with Glock, CZ, and Sig and even though each has a different trigger I prefer them over the XD9sc. I could shoot it accurately, I just didn't care for the trigger.
Easy fix to the XD series trigger: PRP trigger drop-in-kit. It isn't cheap, but the improvement is worth it. I loved everything else about my XD-9 and spent the money. It was and still is, definitely worth it.
Couldn’t say it better myself. Glock is over rated. That’s why I own XD!!! Far better out the box and I don’t have to change anything on the XD any version of XD
@@gutadin5 The XD hands down. They're both accurate but I'm more accurate with the XD. It's heavier, the grip feels great and a nice trigger, helps my accuracy.
Just from watching the firing of the firearms, the Springfield armory looks to have better recoil, and you look to be able to fire it quicker n better. Would u say thats true, bc it looks noticeable from just watching em being fired?
People worry about Grip Zone, I bet they have the 4X4 and OFF ROAD stickers all over their truck though, or you wouldn't know you could drive through the tall Grass!
you would think SA would've got rid of that stupid looking "grip zone" by now. Maybe the Eastern Europeans think it's cool (in their not-understood cultural ways)? Kinda like the funny looking clothes I see vacationing Europeans wear here in the US-
brainleakfookops what was the last time you went to your local gun range? Have you seen some of the people who own handguns now a days. You might be surprised at how many people need to be told where and how to grip a firearm.
The loaded chamber indicator barrel is atop the slide, aft of the barrel . What you referred to, is the cocking indicator. It's both visual, and tactile.
I much prefer the Springfield. The XD feels comfortable, like picking up a baseball bat, vs the Glock which feels like picking up a 2x4. And I personally think that the XD Mod 2 trigger is excellent. Shoots fast and accurately. Perfect performance. Also accepts a TLR6 light. It’s a winner.
Very well done. I have a couple of XDs. A traditional Tactical in 45 and a Mod2 in 9mm. Love them both. The mags drop out like hot butter. Need to try a Glock against them. Very fair in my eyes.
Dear Springfield, Please ignore the idiots in your Marketing department and get rid of the "Grip Zone" lettering on your otherwise exceptional handgun. Sincerely, Still Waiting
Great video once again. I personally don't care for either gun but really like watching your videos. You have become my favorite gun reviewer on UA-cam. Walther PPQ M2, FN FNS, CZ P 07.
The “grip zone” writing doesn’t take away from this guns performance. The way I see it, the first thing most Glock owners do is replace the stock sights, the plastic guide rod, do a grip wrap or stippling job, and do a trigger job. With the Mod 2 all you’d have to do is maybe a talon grip wrap and it’s done. Good to go. Not bashing Glock. It’s just how it usually plays out with all my Glock owning friends.
I also own both guns plus the sub compact models. aside from the xd feeling a little heavier , the xd has better trigger, better sights and seems to be built better. like them both but carry the xd
+Silas Volson I'm gonna get a Springfield XD I have a Glock 19 already and I love that gun. But I shot a Springfield XD and that gun is nice. This was a great video Hey sootch00 Thanks for posting you break down was awesome!!!

An electric car Rimac. Not a gun, but they’re one of the leaders in electric car technology right now. Porsche bought some stock in then and is using their tech in their new cars.
Second place in football World Cup
Beautiful coast, very kind people. Best choice for vacation in europe.
@@domsugar9160 In Zagreb they have the highest concentration of super hot women in the world (even compared to Milan). They have a totally unspoiled coastline and amazing, great food, excellent representation in the NBA and a national soccer team that just played in the World Cup finals. There are also Roman era ruins, just like in Rome, without the crowds. Marco Polo was born there. The national parks are absolutely stunning as well. Oh, and it's where Zinfandel wine originally came from.
You didn't have to talk me into one or the other! Watching you shoot them made the decision for me. The weak ejection and brass hitting you made me have flashbacks to 2010 when I made the worst handgun purchase of my life (gen4 g19). The malfunctions it had were cleared up by the replacement rsa glock sent me but I still got brass to the face about 5-6 times or more per magazine. After considering getting another g19 for months now I couldn't make myself get one. I bought the mod 2 today. Maybe I'll get a glock when they learn how to make a pistol that ejects properly! Anyway, awesome video!
Neil Garner if you hold the gun properly and eat the recoil without limp wristing, it'll eject properly
Thank you for your input, I noticed also, on 14:04 and 14:09, the glock brass flies weak and hit him twice, while the xd brass flies far away. Now I can finally decide which I want. Thanks again.
Also on 17:35, the glock brass hit him at least four times, so weak ejection.
Just bought an XD mod 2 9mm and I love it already. I am a big Springfield fan and pick an XD over a glock any day. Just a preference, nothing against glock, I just don't like them for some reason. But I would agree, the glock is the AK 47 of handguns. You JUST CAN'T BREAK THEM. But great review, really enjoyed the info. Well done!
And to complain about the grip zone being stamped on there. You really think that's going to be staring you in the face when you're firing the weapon?
I traded in my GLOCK for my new mod 2. No regrets.
I bought a mod 2 for duty. No regrets.
Kenneth Havoc ......not yet.
just did the same thing this afternoon, shot 100 rounds with my mod 2 after that, love it! glock 19 gen 4 is good, but mod 2 grip is just way more comfortable.
What drugs were u on bro?
SPRINFIELD MOD 2 THE BEST.
I wish the slide said 'rack zone' too just in case I ever got confused.
Lol W for u sir!
I wish the trigger guard would say "trigger zone" that would make a perfect pistol even better!
+Audemosha You can carve it on with a Dremel tool.
No matter what it says... It's a better pistol than a Glock. I owned both. The Block is gone... The XD Mod. 2 is still here.
Audemosha same dude now if only the trigger said bangswitch, although California is probably already trying to make a law that it has to lol
Both good, effective and reliable but XD is better choice. Better quality finish, slightly more robust, extra safety feature, better sights (especially front), better trigger, extra round, two slider finish option, more polymer frame colors, better price.
It's really unfair to say that both are equal in such comparative review.
The XD feels better to me
Spoken like someone with no training.
@@proguninc4080 Have you ever had your brain checked???????
Thanks for being a voice in this community. I’ve always enjoyed your content. Hope you and the family are well during this craziness
Went to my local gun shop to look at a glock 19 gen 4 it felt pretty nice in the hand and the salesman told me he used it as his home defense gun I thought sounds good to me I'm gunna get one then I looked to my right at the next counter and saw the xd mod 2 fell in love immediately even before I held it in my hand so my next purchase will be the xd 9 mod 2 :)
I got my xd used. There were glocks in the same case and I held both but the determining factor in my choice came down to price and the fact the xd had 5 mags and the glock only had 2. Either gun would've worked for me but the $50 price difference and 3 more mags sealed the deal for me. I've been happy with the purchase and would recommend an xd to anyone that asks but the glock is a good choice as well.
Have both and love both. got the 19 and Mod 2 in .45. the mod 2 is a little smaller so I prefer it when I'm just wearing a T-shirt
Very helpful! Looking to purchase my first handgun, both of these were recommended to me, I've shot both, and started to favor the Springfield. But after seeing the inside and all of the features it has, I know the Springfield is what I should start with. Thanks!
I don't hate glock but to me Springfield and others offers more for the same or less with better ergos and in some cases better quality. Glock has awful ergos, sights and triggers. Sure you can upgrade but why should I have to when others are coming standard?
My G19 Gen 4 came with 3 magazine but I still love your reviews. Long Live the Republic.
XD > Glock
Better quality, features, and value. Glock has fallen behind relying too much on their appeal to authority marketing while Springfield literally made a better and safer firearm. It is what it is.
You are exactly right. Glock felt like they would. Ever loose market share and they let a dozen companies over take them in innovation and ergonomics. I've owned 14 Austrians at one time and now I've come to realize I'm 10 years too late falling in love with xd. Xd is the better gun especially in 10mm. Holy shit, no comparison, the 20sf is a tank compared to the xd 10mm. The 9mm is a better gun too. Sorry but they are. Innovation speaking.
@airbomb34.... By the nonsense you posted on here, I can tell that you have little to no training from a credible firearms training school.
@@proguninc4080 wrong but ok.
@@airbomb34.... Yeah. Sure.
Just purchased my 1st Glock (19 gen3). It retails for $599++ here in So CAl. Looking forward to picking it up this weekend. Already own the Xd-40. Love the XD. I’ve heard so much good stuff about the Glock’s, I want to own one myself.
Great video, thanks!
Love Glock and Springfield. That said I do not love them equally. The Springfield is the kid that I tell is my favorite while telling it not to tell the other kids LOL.
From this end of the screen, you look like you shoot the XD a lot faster! It looks better, it is just as reliable, and that grip zone, WOOOOO. Good comparison as always sir.
I had no idea how to operate my G19 until i saw an XD and realized I was holding it by the Muzzle Zone. Thanks Springfield!
Excellent review, cheers. I am a new firearms instructor and I already own an XD 9 service which I love, but was trying to decide whether to buy another XD 9 or a Glock 19 as many new shooters want a Glock because it's so popular, well...another XD it is. Cheers mate.
I have 3 XD's they are superb. I will take the XDM or the Mod 2 over a Glock any day of the week..
Yep I have both an XDM 9mm 4.5 and the XD 40 mod 2. Both great pistols. I've own many Glocks and have chosen to stick with my XDs.
@427SuperSnake1.... Lemme specify that even better for you.... you'll take "the Springfield XD and no training" right? Because if you had any credible training then you'd know that Glock is the way to go.
@@d3rtmcg3rt53.... I'm sure it's a safe bet to say that you have no training either. Am I right?

😆😆😆😆😆
You're an idiot.
Thank you sir, for a most informative, no-nonsense video in comparing the two popular handguns.
For years, I had wished that Glock could make some improvements to its design. Yes, I know, you can just pull it out and shoot without worrying about "Oops, I forgot to disengage the safety!". I tried very hard to convince myself that I might just forget that the safety was on and the gun wouldn't fire when really needed, and so Glock "safe action" was really a sensible idea. That was until I realised that the trigger might catch on to something accidentally while I'm holstering the gun, or on a lanyard, or a corner of my jacket or zipper, etc. I just didn't feel safe if I didn't clear the chamber before I put the gun away. I feel that the Colt 1911 grip safety was a really good idea - the gun won't go off even if I accidentally caught something inside the trigger guard when I wasn't actually gripping the gun
Now, Springfield has answered my wishes with not one, not two, but three features that I thought a gun should have:
1) a grip safety. A manual safety is too cumbersome. Just grip and you release the safety - simple and good.
2) loaded chamber indicator on the top of the slide. There had been times when I squeezed the trigger and nothing went off - the round had failed to chamber. Also, I never put a gun away when there is a round in the chamber - for safety reasons. The raised indicator at the top of the Springfield slide lets me know whether a round has been chambered or not. I do rack the slide several times to ensure that the chamber is empty before holstering. Now, I still do that, but I have the added assurance that no round is chambered, and conversely, a round is chambered when I am ready to fire.
3) cock/cocking indicator. There have also been times when I thought I had cocked the gun, but I actually didn't rack the slide far back enough for the gun to be cocked. The cocking indicator eliminates this possibility because there is a dot that I can visually check at the back of the gun when the gun is cocked.
Lastly, racking an XD Mod 2 is easier than racking the Glock. It's because the XD Mod 2 has a wedge-shaped notch/grip at the end of the slide. That really helps more than the vertical serrations on the sides of the slide, for both the Glock as well as the XD. However, as far as I know, this nice feature is only available on the Mod 2, and not on the XD, XDM or XDS.
This is just my humble opinion. Please don't attack me over this, Glock lovers! I l love the Glock, and I'm simply pointing out why the Springfield XD Mod 2 suits me better that it has these additional features. Safe shooting, everyone!
seems like hes one sided for the glock that springfield is beautiful and the gripzone is perfect keep it real man.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, I've been trying to figure out which of these I would like for a first handgun. Being a shotgun guy I was in the dark at first, but after reading up and checking them out IRL at my local gunstore(s) I narrowed it down to these two guns. Admittedly i'm leaning toward the XD-9 because of the fiber-optics and the under-barrel rail.
Thankyou sootch00
Nice video. I have the Glock 19 and the only complaint I have with it is the take down method. I don't have good grip with my fingers and holding the two tiny slide releases is a pain for me. I've looked for some aftermarket options for replacing the slide release, but haven't found anything.
I just bought the XD mod 2 in tactical grey &BLK .Love it
This is a nice side by side review, great job.. im looking for a full size 9mm, my thoughts as far as these two weapons go just amazing how simple and smooth looking the glocks are, and the sprindfield looks sharp but super aggressive looking like a hk vp9.. the grip zone doesnt bother me at all it may be alittle corny but it'll obviously be covered by ur hand or talon grips of your choosing..
I just got the XD9 mod 2, 4.0. Bought it on Friday out of concern for cost and availability after the election. Now I am thankful that concern was unwarranted. I tried the rental and bought my own. It felt really nice! I intend to use it as a range gun and home defense. I have an M&P9 shield, and Sig P238 (.380 Auto) for conceal carry.
The clear winner is the XD....
Got both but ur crazy if u think it's the xd lol come on guy
Mr Glock why?
Coming from Mister Glock lol
Sold my two glocks after getting my xd9 mod.2
@@gutadin5 better sights, feels better in the hand, polished feed ramp, trigger is better, holds more rounds.
I have an XD Mod 2 in .45ACP. It came with three 9 round mags and three 13 round mags. I absolutely Love it.
Springfield all the way
Everyone has there own taste u know lol
You mean HS Produkt, lol
Thank you. Well done, thorough, objective and reasonable. I carry an XD for years, I chose it over the Glock for a number of reasons but they were just personal preference on every way. I decided over the Glock 26 I think it was but there was no fault in either. The XD just spoke to me, in every possible way. I respect Glock and anybody who doesn't know what to buy I just say "find a Glock you like" , suggesting a fitting caliber. That's it. Done. "Get a Glock". Easiest advice ever. I still haven't bought one myself but I respect them to the utmost.
I can't not see "XD" as squinty laughing emoji
I went to four different local gun stores In Alaska. For the past 6 Months I’ve seen Glocks still sitting there maybe the prices are high or maybe people don’t like glocks. I’m a Springfield guy.
Have you done a review of the Springfield XD Mod2 5" Tactical 9mm?
Awesome! You made a video on the 1st 2 handguns I own & plan on sticking with. I got so used to my XD 40 as my carry on & my Glock 19 for my conceal back up. Both are amazing. I could went vice versa too with. Glock 23 & XD 9mm, but cool to another with the same choices as me. I just turned 30 ‘ been shooting my dads 357, & 1911 most my life, but when got old enough I got these on my own.
Traded my g19 gen 5 for xdm 9. No regrets.
Now the xdm 9 comes with a standard 22+1 capacity unless you live in ca
I’ll take my Springfield over my Glock also.
In 9mm I have my normal XD and love it,,, in 40 or 45 I for sure prefer a g23 and g30 for sure
Thanks for for saying there’s no real winner. That’s the truth. I own both and it’s all down to personal preference. Both are good guns. 👍 Best video comparison I’ve seen. Great job! By the way, I shoot just a little better with the XD, but the Glock is a sweetie too.
Great review and video! My respect for the Glock , I know I'ts an awesome gun but I just fallen in love with the XD-9! It will be my next baby in a couple of days! Thanks for sharing and I just hit that subscribe button and thumbs up!
Someone probably mentioned this, but the XD has a ‘ready to fire’ indicator on the back of the slide, and a ‘round in the chamber’ indicator that pops up on top of the slide. You can feel these without looking.
one of the best video comparisons I've seen. It's good to see a glock owner and lover give respect to the new xd mod.2. I love mine. I actually bought a glock 19 and sold it within about a month and a half. I couldn't get the feel for it and didn't like it. I have since owned multiple XD's and love them. Both great guns but it comes down to personal preference
I have had two XD pistols. The first one was the original XD when it first came into production for the U.S. market. It was a terrific handgun. Recently, I went to the Mod 2, sub-compact 9mm, and I absolutely love this weapon. The modifications to the grip allow your hand to rest higher on the weapon, and this allows for good control. The fiber optic ( replaceable too! ) front sight is so easy to pick up, and I believe much better than just a white dot. The XD Mod 2 is now my EDC weapon, and my Smith and Wesson M&P is my larger service pistol. Great review as usual, sir! - C.J.
I have Glocks, Springfields and S&W M&Ps. All are tough and reliable. I feel Glock has gotten lazy with their styling and ergonomics. Springfield and S&W are constantly improving their product lines and give the consumer more bang for your buck these days.
I have a shield 40 sub.
Love it.
Lightest gun ive shot.
Looking into a new XD 4" 9.
Ca. Is a crapshoot as there are only a few semi auto pistols you can buy here.
I would think a glock will have way more aftermarket parts available (upgrades) than the XD. And plus 33rd magazines!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the video, lets me know i made a great choice with my glock 19.
Nice review of both firearms.
I myself favor the XD over the Glock. Either one would be good to own.
BTW- On the XD, that is the cocked striker indicator on the back, not a loaded round indicator.
+Robert G I owned both G19 Gen 3 and XD-9 Service. I really liked both of these pistols!! The XD fit my hand better and I was more accurate with the XD-9 Service. I added a Powder River Precision "drop-in" trigger and Talon rubber grips to my XD. These mods take the Service XD to the next level.... as for Glock 19?? I traded it for a 1911 45acp pistol.
which one for first time buyer
+BeingHonest I'd say the XD Mod 2 has a more natural grip so I would recommend that for first timers.
+BeingHonest buy a Springfield xd(m) over any! or the mod 2
+Kurtis Polisky
I ended up choosing the XD Mod.2 over the XDm only because the mags are interchangeable with my original XD. It feels very solid and comfortable to shoot. I love it!
I've handled a few Glock's and found the take down levers difficult to push with my small hands, and agree the XD is easier because I own the XDs. Also the Glock was to thick in the grip for me. So I chose a few other brands that suit my hands better. And I like the grip safety.
Someone remind how much extra money you typically have to spend on a Glock to get it the way you want. Personally, I prefer the gun that is ready to go out of the box.
The key words in your question are “the way you want.” Glocks are also ready to rock out the box
In most states, if you are a cop you can't have a modified gun as your duty weapon. It must be stock. Which is why a lot of cops are moving away from the Glock nowadays and switching to M&Ps, SIGs, Berettas and even XDs.
XD is about as good as it gets for a safe, reliable duty handgun. I like the gen 1, but I haven't owned a gen 2.
On the XD: that was the "Cocked position indicator" the silver pin on the back. Loaded chamber indicator is located dead center of the chamber on top of the slide. it is both visible and Tactile. Easy to check in the dark w/ a simple touch.
Holy grip length on the XD, Batman!
I have both (I have the glock 23 but it’s the same size and the 19) and I love both. Glock, for me, carries easier because of the never ending supply of holsters which makes it easier to conceal in my opinion, but the XD is such a great gun. I use the G23 as my home defense setup though. The XD is one of my range guns and I never leave it home when I go shooting. I carry a Hellcat.
All these comments about Grip Zone are ridiculous. If you aren’t a fan of the XD that’s fine, but if you’re deciding not to buy a gun you otherwise would’ve because of an inch of lettering that’s not visible 95% of the time that’s ridiculous
this why I love your videos you give all the information in and out. you are not dogmatic and pushy on one vs the other! big respect bro!
people keep saying get rid of the grip zone cause it's ugly who cares it's a gun look at a Glock it's ugly too as long as it reliable that's all that matter
The xd is very very ugly, it's a good gun but man they don't hold value at all like a Glock and they are just so ugly idk why. That's honestly the only reason people like glocks better it's more simple
YAY!!! I have been waiting for this video for some time now. I won a g19 and I am about to buy the xd. Both great guns! Great video
I had a older Springfield XD .45 for a while, but ended up trading it on a Glock 29. The XD's trigger was twenty miles of mush that let go somewhere along the way. Jeff Cooper taught the surprise break, but this was more like a surprising separation of taffy being pulled.
+Greg Camp I have to agree about the original XD trigger, its mushy.
From what I've heard, the new triggers seem to be better, but the XD's virtues are so often characterized as being like some other gun, making me wonder why I shouldn't just get the other gun.
Yep, I agree. The XDM has a better trigger from what I've heard. I went with Glock, CZ, and Sig and even though each has a different trigger I prefer them over the XD9sc. I could shoot it accurately, I just didn't care for the trigger.
Easy fix to the XD series trigger: PRP trigger drop-in-kit. It isn't cheap, but the improvement is worth it. I loved everything else about my XD-9 and spent the money. It was and still is, definitely worth it.
I just got the S/A XD-40 two tone from Palmetto for $329 shipped. Killer deal.
"Go home, Glock. Nobody loves you anymore." - Springfield XD Mod 2.
LMAO!!
Dave Cowles hahahaha
Couldn’t say it better myself. Glock is over rated. That’s why I own XD!!! Far better out the box and I don’t have to change anything on the XD any version of XD
which one has a softer trigger and accurate?
@@gutadin5 The XD hands down. They're both accurate but I'm more accurate with the XD. It's heavier, the grip feels great and a nice trigger, helps my accuracy.
Just from watching the firing of the firearms, the Springfield armory looks to have better recoil, and you look to be able to fire it quicker n better. Would u say thats true, bc it looks noticeable from just watching em being fired?
People worry about Grip Zone, I bet they have the 4X4 and OFF ROAD stickers all over their truck though, or you wouldn't know you could drive through the tall Grass!
Great comparison of 2 great handguns. Thanks again for the great show.
I wasn't sure how to grip the glock, atleast the XD tells me where to grip the firearm
Lmao
you would think SA would've got rid of that stupid looking "grip zone" by now. Maybe the Eastern Europeans think it's cool (in their not-understood cultural ways)? Kinda like the funny looking clothes I see vacationing Europeans wear here in the US-
I wish my wife had that on her crotch.

The loaded chamber indicator barrel is atop the slide, aft of the barrel . What you referred to, is the cocking indicator.
It's both visual, and tactile.
I have the XD 9mm mod2 I love it
gen4 Glock comes with 3 mags. "imitation is the highest form of compliment". Nice comparison, your videos are very good quality.
I much prefer the Springfield. The XD feels comfortable, like picking up a baseball bat, vs the Glock which feels like picking up a 2x4. And I personally think that the XD Mod 2 trigger is excellent. Shoots fast and accurately. Perfect performance. Also accepts a TLR6 light. It’s a winner.
Very well done.
I have a couple of XDs. A traditional Tactical in 45 and a Mod2 in 9mm.
Love them both. The mags drop out like hot butter.
Need to try a Glock against them.
Very fair in my eyes.
Dear Springfield,
Please ignore the idiots in your Marketing department and get rid of the "Grip Zone" lettering on your otherwise exceptional handgun.

@@5jjt I agree with you , but the problem was after a while I personally didn't like it on there.
sootch, show us how easy it is to detail disassemble and reassemble the Springfield...
The “grip zone” writing doesn’t take away from this guns performance. The way I see it, the first thing most Glock owners do is replace the stock sights, the plastic guide rod, do a grip wrap or stippling job, and do a trigger job. With the Mod 2 all you’d have to do is maybe a talon grip wrap and it’s done. Good to go. Not bashing Glock. It’s just how it usually plays out with all my Glock owning friends.
I also own both guns plus the sub compact models. aside from the xd feeling a little heavier , the xd has better trigger, better sights and seems to be built better. like them both but carry the xd
Both are good pistols, buy both of them
