I was contemplating on buying a XDM .40 Compact. I have never owned a SA XD. I have always owned Glocks and one Beretta 96 A1.
Is the XDM better or equal to a Glock 27?
I carry my G27 everyday and wanted another compact .40 to keep in my vehicle.
What do you guys think? |

Well the XD does have a safety.
That's a step in the right direction. __________________ .

my carry gun is a xdm compact in 45 acp. i like them better than glocks. they have a better trigger, a better grip angle making them natural pointers unlike the glock, and a grip safety to supplement the trigger safety.
overall i think the xdm's are much higher quality guns.
i would suggest renting one or begging someone to try theirs. if you were in wisconsin you would be welcome to chuck some lead downrange with mine. __________________

If I was up your way I would take you up on your offer.
Maybe I will swing in a few shops to see if they have any. | |

The XDms are pretty nice, as polymer guns go. I would add that you might want to take a look at the XDm's neglected sister, the XD. If you find one you like, you can save a bit of coin. The XD didn't suddenly suck as soon as the XDm hit the shelves. If you don't need a match barrel and replaceable back straps, you might want to give it some thought.
I own a XD40SC, and it's a pretty good pistol. __________________

I like my XDm more than my Glocks. Is one better? That's all in the eye of the person handling the gun. Both have gone bang every time I pull the trigger, so there's really no complaints. __________________

I own 3 Glocks that I have shot and carried for years. I recently purchased 2 Xds (xd subcompact 9 and an XDM compact 45). I
have taken the Springfields to the range and put quite a few rounds through them in
the last 2 weeks. Guess what: I like the Xd
guns much better than my Glocks! I believe
I am going to sell a few of the Glocks and
buy another XD in 40 caliber. | |

Nothing but pleased with my XD. I looked at the XDm but decided the upgrades weren't worth the extra cost for me. No problems with shooting and the gun feels great in my hand. | |

Not going to say that XDm's are better than Glocks. But my XDm is fantastic, while Glocks feel like... __________________ Scott
