No worries. I didn't think you were knocking my purchase. I know that Glocks have been around for a while now and I'm sure they are fine tried and true firearms. I'm pretty sure I googled "Glock vs. XD9" when I was doing my research, and it seemed that most people said to buy what feels best. To each their own! As for the CCW out here, I've thought about applying sometime just to try, but I guess a 1 million dollar personal liability insurance policy is required, and I'm thinking that those aren't cheap.
