GLOCK OR SPRINGFIELD XD

[billt]

I hear thats not really the case, or at least its not as simple as that. The HS-2000 and the XD are different enough to warrant the extra $200. Finish, and quality of parts being what comes to mind.

There made in the same place, the exact same way. Springfield throws in "Gear", which is basicly a cheap plastic holster and mag carrier, and an equally cheap plastic carrying case. The XD is the most promoted pistol in the world. They have to pay for all that advertising somehow. It's like Remington putting their name on Chales Daly Mausers, and jacking up the price. Same gun, different name. Bill T.

Same gun, (except for a light rail), different name, $200.00 more. Bill T.

Not quite the same as they were as the 2000. The biggest difference is that SA gives you a lifetime warranty, that wasn't the case in the past and since it is a major US manufacturer backing up the weapon you WILL pay for that kind of warranty.

Now, billt, we get it, you don't like the idea of paying more for them. Such is life in a capitalist society.

Do what I do, buy your guns from here, www.galleryofguns.com and you'll get a lifetime free REPLACEMENT warranty with every one you buy, regardless of brand. I've already used it on a new Ruger I bought, which promptly broke after only 80 rounds. I had a brand new one in my hands the very next day. Free of charge. Can Springfield do that?

This is happening to the locking block on a lot of XD's.



If yours is ported, keep an eye on the top of the slide. This is happening to an alarming amount of them. That warranty is looking better and better! Bill T.

What do you mean? The Glock didn't fail once in the video.

Although that was the biggest waste of ammo ever.


I haven't read much of this thread. My vote is Glock, because that's what I've been carrying for a while. It works for me.

After the last shot in the video is fired, his finger is still squeezing the trigger but the slide is not locked back. He then lets go of the trigger and looks at the pistol, like WTF? Either it fired the last round and didnt lock the slide, or it didnt eject or feed a round...either way something ran afoul.

It's hard to tell if there's still a round in the mag when he pulls it out. But 2 seconds after that it saiy "failed meltdown, Glock still runs perfect". I guess they know more aboud what happened in the video, than we do.
