You would be in big trouble already if you were to grip any pistol in a fashion that would not engage the grip safety on an XD
Yea, the big trouble would be that you couldn't get that critical shot off to save your life because of that darn grip safety. I had no problem pulling my XDm 40 without activating the grip safety, maybe I have smaller hands (save the jokes

) In all honesty, let's be real here. Both pistols are pretty equal as far as quality and benefits. My complaints about the glock platform is the lack of full chamber support, inability to fire lead through stock barrel, plastic sights (easy fix), and limp wrist vulnerability. You've already heard my complaints on the XD. I guess when the perfect pistol comes out we won't be able to have these pointless arguments anymore ...what fun would that be?

I like the beefy RSA on the XD's, the trigger, and the thinner grip. I want to end my participation in this thread by complementing the XD. If I didn't trust my families protection to Glocks it would be an XD I trusted it with.....or perhaps and M&P
