Lots of things in common, in my eyes. Like you're both inferior to the 1911. You guys should all get together and hang out in the Not-Cool-Kids Club, where you can spend all day telling each other how awesome you are.

What about the S+W M+P, seems like they took the XD and tryed to make a M+P out of it and came up with the XD-M, does it have any advantages? I am not in love with any one gun, It just so happens that the M+P fits my hand well and I feel good shotting it, resulting in me shooting better...
What all does the XD-M have over the XD?

The M factor. Say it with me... "Mmmmm."

ATM, that's the same sound that's to be made when someone says the word "Bacon", right?
I'd have to shoot comparable models, G22 vs 4" XD40 for example, to really gauge which shoots better for me. The Glocks always fit my hand well, and was the sole reason why I bought a G23 as my first pistol. I know guys who bought S&W xx06 models in 9, .40 and .45 because they felt the Smith felt best. All in all, I'd compare it to the F-150/Silverado/Ram argument. You're gonna find people to beat the hell out of their model and say it's best, you're gonna find people who won't buy Model XYZ simply because of its manufacturer. Right now, the kicker is the lack of used XDs in any caliber floating around. You can't swing a stick without hitting a used Glock, and why pay new prices.
Bottom line is having one, regardless of its flavor, is a
over not owning.

The whole bias thing is because it's hosted by S/A. Never mind that S/A did not sponsor the test, but because they are savvy enough to keep it hosted some pinheads think that the test is no good. The test was originally done by Handgun magazine (or was it Handgunner?) at any rate... they are not an XD only publication and they take plenty of money from Glock too. This test is just as valid as if the same publication performed the same test on a Glock.
I hope by hosted you do not mean web hosted by S/A. Springfield-armory.com is not primediaoutdoors.com!

I took a second look and you're absolutely right. Even though it's available through S/A's website, it's not even hosted by them. That's great to know. Thanks!!!!!

So XD owners must like them better than Glock owners like Glocks.
XD Owners want to keep the ones they have and buy more.
Glock owners put them back up for sale.
I think that tells the story right there.

Oooh, that hurts!
Ok, yesterday I went in to visit Bob and the boys at PSS. Watched probably 7 people buy new guns, including a couple ladies. I messed around with a 4" .45, but the grip just didn't feel right. To be fair, I'm not a fan of 3rd Gen Glocks either, but the XD grip seemed too big for my hand. On the other hand, it's a damn nice looking piece of hardware, particularly the stainless slide versions.

I have a 4" .45 with the compact grip. I don't use the 13 round mag because with the 10 round mag the gun fits me perfectly.
well I will tell you I LOVE the scallops on the slide of the M&P they just grip better than anything else, good thing is my wife thinks so also which is why it will be her new gun.
(but I really hate the sear disc. lever
)

+1 Wish I had bought the compact instead of the service model. My buddy bought the compact and the 10 round mag just fits my hand better. Ended up with a Hogue finger grip on my service to get the same feel.
