Sorry Glock...you lost one to the XD

[Redhemi]

I've loved my G17...till I shot a SA-40XD....and I now have a new love...I picked up a SA-40XDsc bi-tone from Midwest in South Bend...and I couldn't be happier and I encourage all you non believers to shoot one...just waitin on my super-tuck now.

Just as long as your still carrying.

Yea XD's are nice looking, but I could never get over the "spray bottle" feel of the triggers, otherwise I'd probably be carrying an XD instead of a Glock myself.

 

[NEOCON]

Congrats. I really like my XD9sc as well.

Chuck approves. Welcome to the joys of enlightenment.

Congrats on the new shooter, my dad is seriously considering an XDm.

Spray bottle isnt how it feels to me...it might be a little long on the first shot....but the reset is short and positive..maybe your weak fingers are tuned to a glock Richard...lol

 

[tyler34]

I'm a proud XD owner but I don't like the XDM whatsoever.

 

[Redhemi]

who said anything about XDm?

 

[tyler34]

I guess just me I could have sworn I saw XDM in here.

Actually I am a long-time 1911 shooter, so I am sort of accustomed to pistols with very short, crisp triggers w/no overtravel & super rapid resets, in fact I hated Glocks triggers when I first started shooting them a couple of years ago so it's not like I am picking on XD's, and hey at least the XD triggers are "less mushy" than S&W's MP's which feel like I am squishing down on a marshmellow or something.

I thought every pull was supposed to be identical? Maybe the effect is just in your head?

Congrats on the purchase!

If you fully release the trigger the pulls will be identical. If you only release to the reset click there is no pre travel to take up again on subsequent pulls.

 

[Redhemi]

No prob Richard..lol..I didnt mean to bust yer chops...much.ok just a bit...yeah my G17 was throated with a 3.5 connector and a a trigger job all overtravel taken out...I do miss that...

+1 ATM

anyone around the west side of Indy have an XD I could try out? I live right near marion country fish and game and would be happy go cover your $5 guest fee and provide some ammo

I love my glock 19, but I feel like I should be more accurate with it. With my 1911 I can get really tight groupings, but with the g19, they spread out quite a bit.

 

[DHolder]

Make sure to use the pad of your trigger finger or your groups could pull left.

Gotcha!

The way I was reading it, even after I quoted it, was "the first shot is a little long, but the rest (not reset) are short and crisp".

Silly esrice.
