glock 17 vs XDM 9

[45calibre]

im contemplating selling my g17 to get an xdm 9 in about 3 months. is the xdm 9 bigger than the g17?

 

[bigcraig]

About the same size.

I shot a XD9m the past Saturday, seems like a decent enough gun. I wouldn't trade any of my G17's for one, but it seemed OK.

To be honest, I tried an xd for the first time last weekend and was really impressed. I was a much more accurate shot with it than the 17 or 19.

Both are great firearms though.

I've never shot Glocks well which is a good part of the reason why I traded mine. The P226 I traded it for is a sweet shooting gun, i like it alot. I am also interested in the XDm 9, I have never owned an XD and would like to try the XDm to see if I like it.

G17 - easy choice

I LOVE XD's but I don't like XDM's, way bigger and not really any(noticeable) improvement other than a few more rounds in the mag.

I did answer the question.

I DIDN'T say the Glock was better, I just said the the XDM9 didn't impress enough to change platforms.

Get over yourself.

I will agree the XDM is not impressive.

Wasnt even talking to you then ! Think maybe you need to get over yourself !

As others have already said, the size is nearly the same.

To me it is like which is better, an F150/Silverado/Ram, go with the one you are the most comfortable with!

Too many variables for a true heads up comparison, Glock/Springfield/Smith, they all make good ones and they also make a few bad ones.

The guy spending the money has the only opinion that matters.

It's not the size... it's how you use it, right?

Right?

like bigcraig, i shot an xdm for the first time saturday. the plus for me over the glock platform is the length of pull. i have short fingers and the xdm with the #1 backstrap fit my hand well.

They only tell you that to make you feel better

I have an XD 9 that is well broken in and shoots really smooth an accurate. I have a new XDm 9 and it operates pretty much the same, it just needs broken in. Sometimes when comparing older guns to newer guns we don't think about the break in time. Really, what is going to feel better than a gun that is well worn and broken in? I have a lot of shooting to do!

 

[HICKMAN]

I think it's hard to compare the 17 to the XDm. The 17 and XD9 are closer.


The XDm should be compared to the G34. Both are the same price and "upgraded" versions to their predecessors.

I'd like to shoot a 9mm XDm, I won't lie.

That's one thing I'd like to check out, I love my G34, but my hands are too stubby to grip it properly.

anytime we are going to be in the same place, jt. anytime. like i said, we're trying to break it, so if you have the ammo, you can shoot it.
