    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.

      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.

      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.

    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!

    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.

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 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.

    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
