I went with the XD purely based on the trigger feel and the way it felt in my hand. I have put over 2,000 rounds so far with zero malfunctions. Btw, RIP Barry.
Yup. RIP.
What happened to barry?
I just got an XD40 sub compact and I shot it yesterday. Now I know what people are talking about when they were talking about "trigger bite". But I'm still keeping it. Sucks that those magazines are friggin' expensive though. I only have one 12 rd mag with mag sleeve and a 9 rd mag.
Austria vs. Croatia... sounds like a World Cup match
In what?

You know both are in europe

I've been a firearms instructor for nearly 18 years and I've carried a Springfield XD9mm for more than 15 of those. I've never had a misfire that was the fault of the weapon. The grip angle of the Glock makes it feel like a brick in my hand.
Awesome!!!
Man I miss Barry 😥 Gone way too soon but certainly not forgotten. His legacy will live on forever on here. Guy just loved his guns and had so much knowledge.
Knowing Barry is gone is heart breaking a lot of us miss him so much. He will always be a true legend in the gun community. R.i.P Barry
Yep . Its sad to know he is gone .
+bigbrownlatino OMG did hi died? What happen?
pablo aracena He died a while back of a heart attack very sad.
+Nafir Alvarez A genuine "good ole boy". R.I.P.
+Paul Brooks what is a good Ole boy?
Croatian weapon, I'm proud of being a Croatian and I'm definitely proud to see a Croatian made weapon being shot and tested by American people. It's amazing to see that. :D
I carry an XD and i like it. A lot of people (most) who don't like the XD trash on it simply because its sold by Springfield but its made in Croatia. They act like Springfield is trying to pull a marketing gimmick even though "Croatia" is stamped on the slide lol. But those who say "XD sucks" can never come up with any reason why it actually "sucks". A good gun is a good gun. I'm glad Springfield picked it up because I never would have got one if not for their marketing.
Admittedly, I'm a Glock fanboy. I own a G19, 26 and 43. But today, I just put my cash down for an XD MOD 2 in .45. So congrats to you and your countrymen, they broke me of my one mindedness. Still love my Glocks, but I'm ready to branch out and your Croatian made gun win me over.
Right on brother
Bbc.co
Dude and like they said it feels natural I'm a proud owner of an xd40. Tactical and I love that weapon!!
I have the XD and it has never malfunctioned.
William Polinchak mine neither
Me, too! XDm
Me too! I was just saying that above
Years ago, I took a combat pistol course and it poured the entire weekend and was in the upper 30s and miserable. Everyone's gun was getting wet. Everyone's gun was jamming, Colt 1911s, Glocks, FN, etc. etc. even the instructors Glock jammed. The only one that kept firing without a hitch was someone's XD pistol. Any gun can fail, but the adverse conditions during that course (2 days - 8 hours each day) showed that the XD has a super reliable design!
Mine eathier it’s perfect
Just bought my first gun a month ago, it was between the xd 9 or the glock, I took about two weeks looking at information, and also going to the store and handling then over and over. In the end the XD9 won me over due to how comfortable it was in my hands over the glock, the glock was nice looked better, but the XD9 just had a better feel and I went with it, seeing videos on the quality on both guns really made me feel better on my purchase
Welcome to the club. Guns are like tattoos. Once u get 1, more will follow eventually. I have both and u can’t go wrong w either.
That's pretty much what happened to me, but i may get a Glock as well.
@@davidflowers2020 the more guns you have the better.
I’m in this situation today and went with xd 9
@@JR-wj9it also I preffered the safety features, one in the back and on the trigger, especially if you have kids around.
Been a glock guy my whole life, recently bought a XD 45acp Mod 2. Best handgun I've ever purchased. Hands down. Quality, accuracy, just all around a amazing gun.
I bought the same gun and I love it! 13+1 .45 rounds in a small gun is amazing, considering the M9 service pistol I was used to could only carry 15+1 in 9mm and it was a full size combat gun. I'll take 14 rounds of 230 grain over 16 rounds of 115 grain.
Same here. After buying my first Springfield XD, Ive never bought another Glock. I now own four Springfields and have never had a problem with any of them.
I too have the 45xd mod2 and a glock 18. Feel like the Springfield was made specifically for my hands. Never leave home with out it
Brandon Potts
Thank you 🙏
guys can you tell me how's the trigger pull of the XD compare to the Glock?
My first pistol was a XD 40, 15 years ago. Never a problem love it. I own many more now but still one of my favorites.
Same Here bought Used XD 40 was owned by PHX AZ Police Officer . I enjoy Rapid Firing the Shit out of it
As a forester I can say my XD 45 tac has been the most durable firearm I've ever carried in the field. I've found pine needles jammed up in it during regular matienence. And never once have I ever had a failure to feed
Well I hate to admit it, I came across this video because I needed to clean mine XD, just needed some refresher knowledge. I've been carrying my XD now for almost 20 years, Ranch manager, Personal Side Arm protection, So many life experiences that required me to always have my side arm available You might say.
I now carry it constantly without hesitation living here in Texas on the border, ( illegal immigration has become a serious problem ) and I'm always alone in the middle of nowhere checking on ranches for owners who do not live here.
I couldn't even begin to tell you how many thousands of rounds I have put through this 9 mm, it has always worked flawlessly. I have shot and handled Glocks On many occasions from my law enforcement and border patrol buddies, The Glock is a very sought after and dependable Side Arm, I guess the only thing I didn't like about it was it had a snappy feeling of un-solidness When you fired it. The Springfield Armory XD had a more solid and thicker feeling when fired, I use 16 round clips + 1 in the chamber & Cary two 16 round clips On my belt.
Anyway it's embarrassing to admit it, but I realized I had not cleaned this little guy ( wearing it daily ) for maybe the last eight years, Occasionally drawing it to shoot a feral hog or a raccoon on occasion, then re-holstering it and going about my day.
With all that's going on here on the border and in our country I knew I needed to stop and clean my XD and give it a little love, I was absolutely amazed at how filthy it was when I broke it down, it rides on my appendix and sees a lot of dirt and every day abuse from loading feeders, throwing hay to the animals, Pretty much everything you can imagine.
All I can say this guy has been through hell, extremely accurate, and has taken a beating, stay blessed everybody & Keep to cover.... Danny in Texas
I love how Barry keeps arranging the pistols for display perfectly. His mannerisms are just fun to watch. He just can't keep his hands off them, You can tell he just loves what he does. AND awesome beard btw :)
Just bought my first gun, i chose the springfield XD
It was the first semi auto I ever bought, bought 6 years ago. Good pistol! 👍🏻
Which one? Theres a couple in the XD series
Love my XD it was my first handgun
You choose wisely 😌
I just ordered mine
Been using an XD9 4" for a few years. I always refer my students to it if they want polymer instead of a Glock. The grip safety alone is a good reason. I also like the serrations and design.
Only thing I'd change is the magwell. Mags get caught if you don't insert it perfect.
You guys had so much influence on me when i made my first steps into carrying a firearm i appreciate the personal knowledge you share with us i watch all you videos and go back and watch them again you guys are bad ass god bless you all and RIP Barry i subscribed already but you should make more glock vs xd vs m&p videos
jusr picked up my Springfield xd 9mm , and I love it
I perfer the XD. Glocks are excellent but you just can't sell me on that grip angle.
Same here and I thought I was just some sort of weirdo. I own both though and both are nice guns.
I totally agree. I didn't like the "feel" of the Glock, the Springfield XD is near perfect. Quality is top notch too.
Hold it like a man not a bitch and you will be more inclined to glock
Buck Shot George LMFAOOOOOO
Agreed, my main gripe are the tiny features.
15 years ago I went to the gun shop to buy a glock. The salesman puts the glock on the top of the table and said let me show you a different type of gun we started selling here. He gets a xD and places it next to the glock. The salesman told me that he owns both but he has own the glock a lot longer. I asked him on his humble opinion of the two which one he thought was better. He grabbed the xD and said this is now my go to gun. The glock was a $100 more expensive but what I wanted was a reliable gun. Even if it cost more. I bought the xD and it has been a flawless gun. I have shot over 20000 rounds thru that gun and it shoots like the first day I bought it.
I bought my SA XD40 in 2008, recently got it stippled. I recommend the XD to anyone. At the end is what you like. I like XD. We miss you Barry. I am glad this video is still up. I am sharing it with friends whom ask which I prefer, I don't want to be bias, so here we go. Again thank you for sharing these videos.
i love my Xd sub compact..
Had mine bout a year 💯
I've had my XD40 sub compact for 15 yrs
I just bought one. Just because I have enough 40 cal ammo to last me past retirement. But that trigger bite sucks balls. I didn't know about it till I felt it a few days ago shooting it. Then I saw articles talking about it online & realized it was an issue. But I'm still keeping it
You could be hiking in the woods and run across a meth lab With a crazy guy shooting at you and 17 rounds just might not be enough God bless you barry
+Paul Burr The sad part is that this has happened. My parents were walking through the woods on our farm and ran across a small meth lab (they use the ammonia fertilizer to hide the smell). Luckily no one was there and they simply called the police.
+Paul Burr Round here we have to watch out for rabid dragons. Nothing more important than being a fan boy with a cheap gun. than having better sights and trigger. Better to carry a beta mag. :)
+Mr. Midshipman gay
you just screwed over walter white and Jesse
That's why my hiking gun is a combat shotgun.
As much as the Glock is the talk and been for years, I've finally come to realize the excellence of the Glock. With that being said, i was recently seeking to purchase a Glock until reviewing the Springfield XD. The fact both have been Service pistols sets a Standard above some others. SPRINGFIELD XD is the winning choice for me. This was a great video comparison. Springfield, you had me at pull...my Finger 👈💨🙈🙉😂
The XD saved my life in a hostile situation! I recommend Springfield XD
Can I ask what happened?
I was able to defend myself on a draw
@Ifyouseemeits2L8 rs
I used to be the biggest Glock fan boy, until I shot an XD. Don't get me wrong, I still love Glocks and they are awesome guns, but for my shooting style and my hand size and shape, the XDs fit my hand better. Shooting the two I can get tight groupings with either weapon, however, with the XD it feels more effortless, thus it is a better gun for me. The Glock might be a better gun for you, it all depends on several factors. I have put thousands of rounds through Glocks and XDs and never had a malfunction, even with cheap ass range ammo. Glocks and XDs are both reliable weapons and you can trust your life with either one.
The "this one fits my hand better" thing is a training issue. Read "Surgical Speed Shooting" if you care to improve on that issue
+fadedflage comfortability isn't a training issue.
CoachVaz24 Oh okay
Glad you like it
fadedflage something a highpoint fan boy would say 😂
You guys always make great videos keep up the great work. I like how you compare different guns and say why you like them. Your very helpful, thank you once again.
There is no question that Glocks are amazing weapons. They are works of art. However, I do prefer the XD.
Surely you dont mean glocks are good looking by saying they are a "work of art", right? lol
Tyler L I think he means that Glock has amazed him in how reliable and tough they are.
@@tylerl6589 engineering wise he's speaking of I believe.
I grew up shooting the classics like revolvers and 1911s so I was kinda spoiled on ergos and out of the box trigger pulls when I started looking at more modern guns. I picked up a Glock and handed it right back after trying the grip and trigger pull. Tried an Xd45 and felt that familiar 1911 grip angle and way of pointing so I bought it. Got home, set up my target, backed off to 10 yards and the very first shot could not have been a more perfect bullseye. That was 2012 and that gun has never malfunctioned and I shoot it really well. They're both great guns but in my experience the XD is more refined as far as ergos, sights, and trigger and that is absolutely most important factor to me.
Same here. Im the old guy at the gun classes with my 45 but nobody can say anything wrong with it. And all the kids always ask what caliber is that?
Naw, disagree with you on the trigger. My XD40 sub compact has a better trigger feel. But it "bit" me a few times after I shot it for the first time a few days ago. I don't get that trigger bite with the Glock trigger.
Springfield XD is a wonderful gun, I love mine.
Silver bearded Vaper Murphy traaaaaash
@@christopherbarger6112 how it's farrrr superior to Glock
Silver bearded Vaper Murphy I have a XD as well But I’m buying a Glock 23 as well because With XD The longevity is still too be determined have not been around that long like Glock proves too last for Decades if you take care of them
Me too! You Irish? I’m Scottish, but live in LA! Live my XD.
just bought my xd and I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT TO GO TO THE RANGE TOMORROW
How did the range go?
Just shoot it inside
XDM Elite OSP... nothing sweeter to operate...IMO
I really enjoyed watching this video. I have both guns, but also in my conclusion, the XD is so much more comfortable. I honestly feel as if it glues in my hand. I also have kids and I feel the XD is more safe carrying around kids.
I love my XD I still hope one day the California roster will be removed so I can get a VP9
The XD is LESS expensive than the Glock. The XD-M series costs more.than the Glocks.
MegaChubbyboy Yea in California the SX is about 125$ cheaper than the glock. Both great guns though for sure
+MegaChubbyboy The XD used to be more expensive than the Glock. With the release of improved models they have lowered the price of the XD.
+MegaChubbyboy The XD (and XDS) is the perfect subcompact...mainly because it has the rail attachment.
Easy problem solved....... buy both! I have both an XDM and a Glock, and I can't honestly say I truly would pick one over the other. If I was forced to pick one of the two it would be as difficult as picking which one of my two children that I like better!!!!
Josh Smith you love them both, But there's Usually a Favorite
A respectable comment! Coca Cola vs Pepsi all comes down to what you prefer
I plan to do the same
Josh Smith true
Yea well if you have to carry one on you and use it in a situation you obviously have to pick one
You guys are awesome. Thank you for this video. I purchased my first ever firearm and it's the Springfield Armory XDS.
You two are fun to watch 😀 Got an XD today, gonna love it. Shot Glock 17 too, loved as well.
I Love My Springfield Tatical XD45 ! Won't trade it for nothing. ..braught a Glock19 & Got Rid of it the same day.
Man, I miss the videos with Barry! You two had such good chemistry together!
RIP Berry... YOU are missed. Love watching these old videos!
Miss you Barry, your input and way of thinking was great and you knew how to make things plane and simple with common sense and knew some good tricks and old school "por mentas" ways...
I LOVE THE SCENARIOS I JUST BOUGHT AN XD I LOVE THE WAY IT FEELS IN MY HAND
I bought a Glock wayyy back when the 21 first came out,shot thousands of rounds thru it,now I own the XD in 45,in my opinion the glock was a better pistol overall but the XD points and fits my hand better.I have had malfunctions with the glock, FTE but have never had a single malfunction with the XD
Videos from 7 years ago but still helpful
I may have previously posted this comment but, here goes. Noting the date on this video a lot has changed since then. I always thought I'd buy an H&K some day. About the time I was ready to pull the trigger - yes I know - on the purchase, along comes this updated HS-2000. I gave it a look and after careful consideration, I went with the SA product. I finally decided on the XDM in 9mm. My first edc gun back in the day was a 2nd Gen S&W 669. It was an alum alloy frame and SS slide. The grips were black Delrin inserts. I kinda dug the silver/black combo, so of course I bought the BiTone XDM in 9 milli. I fell in love with this pistol. As they became scarce, I placed a call to SA corporate and was informed that they were discontinuing the BiTone XDM Full Frames. I snagged a second for a song and got the Gear Up packages for both since they were bought within the window. So now I was the proud owner of a pair of 4.5" XDM BiTones in 9. I carried one and made the other a range queen. While I owned the first one, I had bought several factory mags and one - hold on to your butts - ProMag 19rd mag. As you probably guessed it was a piece of...…….GOLD. It performed flawlessly with 115gr and 124gr. Never a FTF, FTE or FTFire. This is a book right? So my girlfriend in keeping with tradition, buys a Taurus PT111 G2 Black/SS slide. Also buys 3(three) 15rd ProMags and they turned the great little economy champ into a G2 Jammamatic. There was the ProMag I'd heard about. Crap. All this leading to the point of Eric's love of high cap mags. ProMag makes a 32rd mag for the XDM now. I'll be buying and testing one with my guns. So to wrap up this rival to War & Peace, let me finish with telling you that I love the XD platform so much that I now have a 3.8" Full Frame XDM in 9 milli for edc. Tomorrow I'm picking up a 1st Gen leftover XDS in 9mm. I'll post the results of the 32rd XDM mag test on here later.
Just bought me a Beretta Px4 storm, in love!!! Xd mod.2 subcompact is no doubt my next purchase for X-mas.
Joe Rodriguez I need your number
I carry a PX4 Compact in 9mm or a XD in 45 ACP. I bought the XD used on a whim because it was a 45 and cheap, but am so glad I did.
What I hate about Glocks is the grip angle. It just pisses me off. I'd opt for an M&P 2.0 compact instead.
Great video comparison. I’ve been leaning toward the Springfield XD40 for carry, your video pushed me closer to that decision. Thanks👋🏻
Great choice!
I have a Glock and a Springfield XD9 subcompact. The only time I ever had an issue was with the xd9 and it was light primer strikes. I had over oiled it. Broke it down dried it out some never had another issue. I have had the gun 6 years now. Don't have a clue how many rounds have been through it. I'm going out on a limb and saying "a bunch"
My very first poly gun was a Glock and I liked it... Then I bought my first Springfield and have never looked back. Both are exceptional platforms, but I prefer the grip angle, the smoother Trigger action, the superior sights, and the added safety of the grip safe along with the loaded chamber indicator and the cocking pin indicator. All four of my Springfield's have proven every bit as reliable as the Glock. It's just an overall better package in my opinion.
Great video!! I’m a first time hand gun owner and just purchased the XD9. The grip safety was the main reason. Being a noob this video was helpful.
My first gun was an XD 4” service model , i have Glocks as well but my XD never Jams even with Big 5 ammo
I'm a fan of both guns. This video was made quite a while back and before the XD mod 2 was introduced. I picked up a mod 2 XD sub compact in .45 and man it is a wonderful carry gun. Double stack with great capacity and around the same size as my G19...I've been carrying a Glock for over 20 years, and I still do sometimes, but I am carrying the XD45 more than the Glock these days. I just like it. Great video! Miss you, Barry...
I really like these gentleman!! I owned a Glock when they first came out in the states and got rid of it within 2 weeks. Recently, I came upon a Glock 19 Gen4 for an unreal price, dried fired it, what a piece of crap trigger. Then the salesman said, oh for $250 you can put in blah blah trigger, then new sites, match grade barrel, Talon Grips, shoot, I surpass the price of an XDM that I am already in love with. By the way, I can feed any of my XDM's ANTHING and NEVER do I have a problem. In fact, last time I went to the range, I mixed a bunch of different ammo in my 45 magazine, not one hitch. Give me an XDM anytime!!!
yessir I got my XDM a few months back I like it better than a glock because of the feel in my hands I have larger hands and I like the fact you can take the grips off and change the size to fit your hand
jray1298 The XDM trigger is fantastic out of the box, I recently was going to purchase a Glock 19 and the trigger was a sloppy piece of crap. The salesman said, "I have a trigger kit for this, it's only $275." No thank you, I'll stick with my XDM.
+Tony Marinelli yes it's such a smooth shooting gun and I'm glad I chose it over glock
lol glocks are reliable there's no doubt about that. But they certainly don't have a high quality feel like the XD does. And the XD is just as reliable so XD is my choice.
+DemocracyOfHypocrisy I love mine
Purchased my XD today. Thanks for the great review
Im looking to get an XD. Saw this video and remembered my childhood. I miss you Barry! Thank you for helping nurture my young love of guns. I cried when you passed and I cried watching this. You’re still remembered and greatly missed!
God thank you guys for making this video it made me learn a lot and heard about Barry RIP 🙏 😢
I've got an XD 40. Best handgun I've ever owned.
i had a glock 19 now i own xd mod 2 5 inch and i love it
I edc a glock 27 one day my buddy showed me an XD9 subcompact and I fell in love I traded straight up never looked back even tho my buddy wanted to trade back a year later no way I'm giving it up
I own an XD 40 too... Very good pistol
Idk which better but I juss Glock or an XD but I would rather have a Glock because it's more popular...
I’ve got myself a XD 9mm for my first gun and I love it 👍🏼👍🏼
The more I see videos just like this one, the more I love these guns. AWESOME!!!!!!
bought my 1st handgun, specifically chose the XD because of the safety features & long trigger pull, i want that first shot to be very purposeful. love the gun, the reset on the trigger is tight so follow up shots come quick! disassemble, cleaning, the all round fit is great.
I read the first magazine about the XDM 9 and it winning the two highest awards. Read it in a HMMWV and was set on the XDM 9. About to get the XDM 9 4.5 soon
The xdm's are nice!!! I want to say mine hold 20ty rounds 👍
I can’t help but see the laughing “XD” face whenever I see come across the Springfield XD
Ecks Dee
Same
RIP Barry !!!! Crazy seeing these old videos pop up on my timeline!! Only a decade ago, but it seems like forever!!! ❤
Love my Springfield XD wouldn't carry anything else.
Eric. As the years have passed since filming this vid.
Do you still feel the XD is equal to the Glock?
How about the XDS now made?
XD has every single feature of a Glock and more. And you can usually get an XD cheaper and often comes with 5 mags too.
12 years ago I was a Glock fan boy and I ended shooting my cousin's XD and I ended up selling my Glock to buy my XD that i still own today love my XD
Thank you for sharing.I love my XD9 as well
Thanks for this video! I’ve been thinking about getting an XD for a concealed carry because of the handle safety.
The grip safety on my XD does make holstering a loaded chamber easier on my worries than my Glock, I cringe thinking of a possible trigger snag.
I don't have any experience with glocks but I have shot barreta m9, the S&W M&P 40 and I own a Springfield Armory XDM .45 and the XDM is my favorite. I love the accuracy of the XDM and the fact that you can change our the back straps to fit your hand better. My XDM is about 5 months old with over 2000 rounds and I've never had a malfunction due the ammunition or the firearm. I have held a glock and the only thing I can say out e glockenspiel that I don't like is the grip angle and size of the grip.
To wobinga7 and all those who bash the XDs you clearly know nothing about them, I work in law enforcement, and I am a handloader so I have much more experience then most and I will tell you that in no uncertain terms the XD is a fantastic pistol. In fact the most accurate automatic I have ever shot is an XD tactical in 40 S&W. As to build quality I have never had any issues whatsoever with the ones I have owned/shot, to reliability of the many thousands of shots I have put downrange I have had exactly one jam due to crappy ammo, and my handloads have cycled perfectly every time. So to call them a joke is beyond stupidity. Now I am in no way shape or form saying the Glock is a sub standard gun either, but as the men on the video said the XD points more naturally, has better sights and the XD has a much more ergonomic grip to my hands but those are subjective points, you might disagree but to call the XD a poor handgun is laughable. My personal carry piece is an XDm 4.5" and I have no plans on replacing it anytime soon. It is also worth noting that I cannot work up full power handloads for a Glock since they have a partially unsupported chamber whereas the XDs have survived many a +P handload with no sign of fatigue and no bulging brass.
Amazing how during Covid this video is so relevant
Love the xd series just got an xds45. My friend has a g21 and i didnt care for the grip but the magazine size makes a world of difference. I know several police officers that carry those 33rd mags inside their vest as backups
Just ordered the Springfield XD 9mm subcompact through sportsman’s guide! Super excited to get it in
Danlee Eckstein How have you been enjoying your XD9? I love mine.
Literally about to do the same thru the same site haha
Update: I sold it and bought a gen 5 Glock 17😅😂
@@danleeeckstein6112 Why did you sell it and hows the Glock?
Bum Chow too small to really open carry, and kinda too bulky to conceal carry. Love the Glock. Super smooth trigger. I want either a Glock 43 or a smith and Wesson shield for my conceal carry
I love and own both. 4" Service Model .45 XD, Glock 17, 43, & 23. Never had an issue with any of them. I also own a Kimber Custom II 1911, because no gun collection is complete without the iconic and classic 1911.
This versus definitely deserves an updated version!
Watching this video in 2019 I have been a long-time subscriber since they we're doing videos at Moss it's certainly good to see Barry and hear his voice again
XD is where it's at. Like they said it is a better made gun with beefier components.
Bigger doesn't always mean better. Unless it is a MINI GUN!!!!!!
Barry was sooooo accurate on so many levels. Miss him

Sure do miss Barry. Revisited this video since I just bought my first Glock but have owned my XD for about 5 years. Still a great video.
I'd love to see you guys compare the Beretta 92 series to the SIG Sauer P226. Most people seemed to be pretty torn to one or another during the U.S. military trials almost three decades ago. It'd be interesting to see the Moss Pawn take on them!
That would be interesting.. I've owned both and would take a Sig over a Beretta any day.
Damn Barry was one cool guy! Miss that fucker.
I've had glocks and springfields both, I'll stick with springfield it just feels so natural in your hand and I love em
Love how now the Springfield XD is cheaper than the Glock.
I own a xd 9mm xdm 40 and xds 9mm I love them all never had any issues they function flawlessly
I like holding my 5" XD 45. I do admire the glock for their magazine versatility but the Springfield is more attractive and I preference that, big time. I like the idea of Springfield being referenced since the revolutionary war...someone mentions Glock, I think of Liqour store robberies, movies, etc, Someone says Springfield Armory I think of History, Class, Meaning,Importance, Generations...
xabbit0508 It's not the same springfield.
Lol
19 years old and I carry my xd40 everyday. Absolutely love it.

I comprehended every single thing y’all said and learned so much!! Wish y’all could’ve been my high school teachers lol 👨🏫
I have an XD AND THE PRESSURE that you put on the safety features determines how it fires.
Funny. I have yet to see a XD fan whine about loosing a comparison to a Glock, the second a review puts an XD over a Glock in any category, The Glock fans come out in droves to protest and belittle the XD. That's saying something. In a post-Zombie apocalypse where only Glock owners have survived and all other pistols and rifle failures have cost their owners their lives, then this case can finally be closed. I like Glock and XD, XD's look better to me, but a good looking gun wont save lives. Glocks do malfunction, I witness this at the range just yesterday. You can't change fate, so except the idea that no matter the track records of either pistol does not always translate to the ones you own.
I’m more accurate with the XD, I’ll say that much.
I love this video. I like how you guys didn't bring down the XD because I'm an XD fanboy. I like the grip safety. By the way, you can get a 32 round magazine for the 9mm XD mod 2 4in barrel. It did malfunction few times I will admit that. So what else I got from this video is whichever gun you get you won't be disappointed.
It really says something when you review a gun, and that review remains relevant and informative 10 years later. Thanks.
For my two cents, I have never shot a handgun that comes close in accuracy, comfortable-to-shootness (I made that up), pointability and reliability as my XD-m 4.5 in .45 acp.
I can't bad mouth Glocks. I can only say that I personally hate the grip squareness and angle, and trigger. Not surprising, I can't shoot it as comfortably and accurately as my XD-m.
I'm glad to know that there are at least two notable, super reliable choices out there.
I always like and learn from Iraqveteran8888 reviews...even ten years later.
I have both and love both. The trigger is a little strange on the XD if your used to the clock, but after a few rounds you dial it in pretty quick. XD is much more ergonomic .
when it came time for me to buy my first pistol, it came down to the XD and the Glock. I shot both, and finally decided on the XD simply because the grip angle felt more natural in my hand.
Helpful video. Any tips for removing the plate screws if they are stripped? Thx
Hickok45 was skeptical too..until he reviewed the XD, XDm and XDs he came around so much so that he bought two XDs with his own money. The others were supplied by Buds Gun Shop. He now knows what many of us knew from the start...that the XD line is a very fine firearms. I own three; Xds .45 3.3, XDm .45 4.5 and the XD9 Mod.2 Service Model. I have never had a single malfunction, never a fail to feed or fail to eject.
Many people were quick trash the XD line without having any first hand knowledge. Where I work I have had many customers come into the store with the desire to buy a Glock but when they handle any XD model they have been convinced just as Hickok45 has been.
I used to carry in rotation the Colt Series 70 1911, S&W 586 .357, XDm and the XDs both in .45ACP. When I got the XD9 Mod.2 Service Model that's all I carry.
I have never had trouble getting extra magazines for any XD product. Why? When you time your XD purchase with the SA GearUp program you can get up to three or more magazines and range bag for FREE. Buds sells the XD5016 for the XD9 Service model for $23, Cheaper Than Dirt $24 other retailers sell them for more and some for a lot less.
Have an XD in 9mm with a 3.3" Bbl and love mine so far. One day I'll have a Glock just to have one but I'll keep my Springfield forever.
You should do a review on the XDM
yes that's the one I want I have the sr9c now but I want the xdm 45 compact
i just traded my xdm 3.8 compact in for a glock 26. the xdm is a "nicer" weapon on paper. however, i simply shot the glock better and thats the most important thing -- try to shoot any weapon before u buy - these reviews are really a guide but the best education is to try as many u can and see what works for you
This was a great honest video !! I carry Springfield And I respect Glock .
FACTS
I own an XD .45 with 3 13 round mags plus hard case and “XD Gear”..
It only has 90 rounds through the pipe, how much should I sell it for?
"American as apple pie" lmaooo
