The XD's took some getting used to for me. They shoot well and I have never had a issue with function. Now I just need to get past the "Tikka thing" I have. Some professional help may be in order. ;)

Not a huge Glock fan............. reliable, accurate, used by everyone.....blah,blah,blah
 I have to agree with that, but they don't have a natural point of aim for me. I shoot my XD tactical way better, BUT, I get beat by glock shooters all the time.
 If anyone wants one, thats a damn good deal with the NS though.

Glock to the handgun world is what Tikka is to the rifle world.  The similarities are great. 

Love the Tikka with much support.  I don't care to defend them much like some nor trash them much like others but damn fine rifle out of the box no denying that.

I think Littlehammer brings much entertainment to this site and thank the little guy for sticking around.  Small man big truck comes to mind....hmmmm

Still waiting on the comments about Sako products from the Rem700 fan. Or maybe they are a little too upscale for a Glock lover?

Everybody on here knows how true that is :stirthepot:
If you're not afraid of a little quality to go with your heaping helping of bravado, take a look at Freedom Arms for your 454 Casull.
I would imagine it would look something like this:

Freedom Arms has been around a long time, they make some cool stuff. :tup: While the Glock Is a AWSOME handgun Dink. From the photo you can tell there is much more carry wear on the Ultra Covert than the 19  ;).




The balance , feel and accuracy of the XD 5.25 9mm is amazing also. A laser to shoot and it has never malfunctioned. I lean towards its grip to be slightly above the Glock but I wouldn't toss it in the tool box or under the truck seat like I would Glock. I also know you would appreciate its grip safety.

And Redbull helps with any shooting situation. :tup:

Till I bought my first one........

Same here, a friend purchased one of the first Glock 17's to hit town when they first came out. I hated the thought, even the look of it. I was a big 1911 fan back then, still am. I couldn't stand that handgun, it was completely off the beaten path of what handguns had been to that point. I looked at it as a plastic piece of trash. Took about three years to get me to shoot it. It was accurate and reliable and didn't take any "Tinkering" like allot of 1911 do. I was sold and I have had a bunch of them since, the only one I haven't really cared for was the .45 GAP. I purchased one and 500 rounds of Golden Saber ammo. Shot it up in two weekends and sold the pistol and brass. Couldn't justify it's performance or ammo difference/cost to out weigh that of the standard 45 ACP chambering.

This purchase was due to my soft spot for that much hated 17 back then and yes I shoot the crap out of it but would rather carry the 19.

Mine took over a decade to break down an buy one.
Like you I shot a couple of the early 90s ones, I remember renting a couple at Wades in Bellevue,(old location) with my dad and bro.  Dad liked them but I couldn't get used to the sights being all square and blocky, and had a hard time even getting on the paper!
 2nd I experienced way to many Stove pipes  to be comfy. Couple years later I shot a buddies and his had the same problem! JAMED way to much. I pretty much wrote them off till 3 years ago. I was on the Hunt for a 10mm.  Every google search or gun expert pointed to the Glock20   
I begrudgingly purchased it.  Right out if the box I was nailing the 10 ring at 7yrds, then 15  all the way down to 25yrds I was in the Black!   Boy was I happy.  Was my woods gun for the last 2 years till I bought the smaller G29 that weighs half.
Also this year I  borrowed a g19 for my Lady to shoot, and she wouldn't put it down. Put some 250rds through it all by her self.  Sadly she won't let me buy it for her, has her eyes and heart  locked on the Springfield EMP 9mm. )-;
