Post by: fisheral87 on February 27, 2013, 06:01:34 PM: I voted glock because I like the versatility and availability of accessories.

I own a M&P. But would go glock before XDM.

Nothing wrong with the XDm though.

Post by: hughjorgan on February 27, 2013, 09:53:20 PM: I like the xdm personally, though to be honest I have only shot a few glocks. I like the interchangeable backs traps for ergonomics. It has a grip safety the glocks don't have, it also has a chamber indicator if you have one in the pipe you can visually see and can feel if it is dark out. The glocks have a crisp trigger when it breaks compared to my xdm, though I like the feel of the trigger reset on the xdm makes for quick follow up shots.

I feel exactly the opposite. Glocks are big in the grips. I have big hands. Glocks fit me better. The springers are too top heavy feeling for me. You can't debate the reliability of either of them though. You just have to see which one you're more comfortable with.

On my XDM 45 magazine carrier, has the rail on each side of it and the speed loader will attach to it. That was at the range you have the speed loader with you.

My XDM 45 is very accurate. I have taken shots at 30yds. with ease in the kill zone.

Post by: slayerofthesea on March 02, 2013, 10:20:24 AM: that works out great im going to start hunting from a tree stand and if the animal is close i can just shoot it with the pistol
Title: Re: g21 or xdm?
Post by: D-Rock425 on March 02, 2013, 10:48:33 AM: I vote m&p
Title: Re: g21 or xdm?
Post by: Maligator on March 02, 2013, 10:57:24 AM: I say the XDM because friends don't let friends carry glocks :chuckle:

As far as accuracy goes: the XDM comes with a match barrel with tighter tolerances. But that being said the weapon is only as good as the shooter ;)

I really have no problem with glocks, I shoot them quite well but given the option I would buy the XDM every time over the glock. However, I am a self confessed Sig-ophile :tup:
