As for glocks, well, unconfortable grips (finger grooves narrower than my fingers) and weird grip angle, doesnt point naturally, and poor trigger, Police get them because there reliable enough (glock reliability is horribly inflated though, they can and will jam if treated bad.) and simple so less time is needed training. There also cheap for the budget types. Problem also is many are too light for the caliber, like the .40 smith versions. If i get a .40 i want it to weigh more than 22-23 ounces for recoil control. There hyped, overrated and not a good shooting gun.

You know, I'd put my life on a Glock. They aren't bad guns. All guns do jam if not treated properly. And I don't find the grip or the trigger to be much of a problem to me

All guns do jam, i just know too many glock fanboys who claim they cant. They are just that gun i could never like.

But I'd take a Springfield XD over the Glock. It feels better, the grip is based on the angle and grip of the 1911, the trigger feels better and better reliability.

Have you tried an xdm trigger? Ive heard they're more single action like.

Im still a metal gun (just feels solid and soaks up recoil.) fan. I love DA/SA SIGs. But if the xdm really is an improvement over the xd, as a range gn and at that pricepoint id be interested.

I plan to get an XDM. It's really good in my hands.
