Not too experienced with the XD. However I have years of CCW with a Glock. I'd say weight is less important than size and concealability. Too light a gun = too much recoil.

I also had the xd 9mm and sold it and bought a glock,

I think it is funny that some of you do not like the glock because it does not have a safety, a pistol should always be in a holster if you are carrying it and do you not trust your own trigger control :dunno:. Not trying to talk bad I'm just curious?

I've been carrying Glocks for many years and would not trust my life to anything else. That being said, I don't see anything wrong with the XD.

I have been packing a XD40 subcompact since they came out. Ive also sent down range tons of rounds with not one issue.
I have read a bunch of articals putting the XD subcompact against the Sigs and the Glocks and the Springfield came out on top.
Im not saying any of them are bad handcanons. I just really like the Springfield.

I have both
Glock 19, love it, shoots like a dream and feeds any ammo
Just picked up an XD-45, good reviews looks to be a good shooter, comfy to carry with the little plastic holster under a flannel shirt

I had a chance to try the glock last night with an inside holster and I really liked it. I just realized that Springfield came out with a sub compact XDM 40 model. I'm not 100% commited to eaither gun yet, still need to shoot the glock.

I own the XD-40 sub-compact and like it.  Shoots good and comfortable to carry.

I have no experience with the XD, just the Glock.  I felt the need to chime in and slightly defend the Glock with all this bad info flying around.  The only time I have seen the slide catch skin is when the grip is wrong, ie thumb too high or in the wrong place.  The Glock has three safeties, keep your finger off the trigger and the thing will never fire ( I have seen them thrown out of planes and drug behind trucks down dirt roads and not fire).  The glock does have a round in chamber indicator, usually it is easy to miss unless you know what to look for.  Personally I think this is a pointless thing, since a gun is always suppose to be treated as if it is loaded and what if you have to draw in self defense and the bad guy notices you chamber is empty?

BTW if you want to shoot some Glocks I have both the 23 and 27 (compact and sub compact 40) and live fairly close to Seattle.
