I just never really been an xd guy. Just don't point right for me. And I've seen them malfunction a lot at 3 gun matches. Not saying that they are all bad because I've seen some Glocks go down to.

Got of these. Carries really nice.

S&W Model 60-10 3 inch, bought back in '90 or '91.

I'm with GD on this.

I've owned several XD, and didn't care for their ergo or performance. I've seen them fail, one rather spectacularily, too.

I've fired and watched fired more rounds from Glocks than all other designed combined. Outside of an occasional failure to lock open on the last round (high thumb hold), and problems associated with limp wristing the only major problem I've witnessed was a broken frame rail. It was on an instructor's Glock 21 with 65,000rds of +P ammo. (LE Trainer = free ammo of choice).

That gun would still work, BTW...

If Glock would reshape their grip or completely re-contour it to something like the HK P30 we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Fact is, I highly doubt their has been a more proven gun in history. Think about the number in civilian, LE, and military hands.

Randy,
That's a nice little Smith!

Cant argue with glock reliability, I have thought about building a gen 3 with a custom contoured frame a few times. I have had no failures with my xd45 running 230rn and 185hp but I only have around 400 rounds through it.

Hmmmm

I stopped by Walmart to check on 38 and 357 ammo prices. It looks like I'll be ordering ammo for the 65 online!

Lol time to start reloading Arch, pistol is so fun and easy too.

I use to have a complete Dillion 550 set up.

Why used to?

Thanks. I just wish it were a 6 shot, but then it wouldn't be as small as it is.

15 years ago ammo prices went so low I sold the set up. I was able to buy cases of brass / copper jacketed 9mm for $99 / 1000 delivered..couldn't reload it for that little.
