I've shot several XDs and own several Glocks. As has been said, everyone is different. However, the tipping point for me was that the Glock is a much more simple tool, with less parts and is more user serviceable (not that one should modify Glocks, but if there is a need to replace something it is easy, and cheap--I have not needed to do this yet, but I like knowing that I can). FOR ME, the Glock trigger is superior (with a more distinct reset) to that of the XD which feels TO ME a little soft. Also, high (regular) cap magazine are plentiful and the mags from my 19 will fit in my 26 as will the very prevalent 17 mags and crowd pleasing 18 (31 rnd) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> mags. the "extras" in the XD package are nice, but if you are going to CCW the gun, you will likely be buying a different holster anyway so most of the price discrepancy fades away quickly. That being said , the XD is a good gun, and I was a huge proponent of them a few years ago when they were in the $375-$400 range.
