Post Glock 26 vs. XDS 45
Which would yall choose to carry? Pros and cons of each? I'm getting a better deal on the glock but really like the xds and it comes with more ammo, and mags

I have both and prefer the XDs being its a single stack so it's slimmer and easier to conceal

Apples to apples would be the xds 9 versus the 26. Look for glock to put out the 42 size in a 9 mm soon

My hand fits the springer better. My finger sits much better on the trigger on a springer for some reason. Feels like I'm reaching for it with the glock

I'm really leaning toward the xds. I love the way it feels.. Lahannas dad has one and loves it. Never shot the glock 26, but I like the idea of cheaper ammo, more capacity, and less recoil. Oh and $150 more in my pocket

Post Re: Glock 26 vs. XDS 45
I've got a G32 and i love it. easy to conceal and very fast bullet. ammo is a little hard to come across sometimes. my next gun will be an XDS. I've shot one a few times and like the feel in my hand. brasso let me know if you go that route.

Post Re: Glock 26 vs. XDS 45
I'm going to go with the XDS. Prob pick it up tomorrow. It comes with 100 rounds of ammo, 3 extended mags, 2 holsters, and a case. All paperwork from recal and he says the trigger isn't 2500 pounds like some of the others were once the recal work was done.
Luna I'll post pics once I pick it up

Post Re: Glock 26 vs. XDS 45
I shoot a S&W M&P but my buddy came over Saturday to help me with my motor mods and brought along his new xds in 45! Damn fine weapon and comfortable to handle as well. Really light till you fill up the mag but even then it balances it out real nice. I'll be getting one this year sometime. Was also leaning towards Glock but not after seeing and trying out his xds.

Let us know how you like it brasso.

Post Re: Glock 26 vs. XDS 45
Do this, pick up one and look at something in the distance and point the pistol at it naturally, then without moving your hand focus on the sights and see where they line up, then do the same with the other. The angle of the handle in relation to the barrel is different. I can shoot a Glock but I have to make myself shoot it. If I just throw it up I will be aiming low naturally (12" at 25 yards low). I shoot XDM's mainly for this reason. It's much easier and you'll be more accurate to shoot something that feels natural to you versus trying to learn how to shoot it... Anything else it just a bonus

Glock all day every day. If you think it doesn't "fit you" come spend a few days with me on the range and it will "fit you". You can't blame the gun for you not knowing how to grip It.

Post Re: Glock 26 vs. XDS 45
I have the XDM and really like it. They took the grip angle and grip safety of a 1911, locking mechanism and sights of a Sig and polymer frame and trigger safety idea of a glock. Great pistol.

And for me they do point more naturally. Just as a shotgun that really fits

Picking it up tomorrow after class! I have a range set up in the backyard (live on 500 acres) so me and Lahanna will be shooting some rounds Thursday evening after work. I'll let yall know what I think. It points naturally than the glock does for me, and is thinner which I like.

To be honest irresponsible like you are with that little hot head of yours shouldn't have a pistol for everyday carry.

Dfou I don't think I could shot a glock for a year everyday and make it fit me. Now learn how to shot it yes! But make grip fit now.
Now on the other hand spend a couple more hundred bucks and do a frame reduction and that works

Grip angles and "pointability" are pretty low on the list for me. While I realize it may have some minuscule effect on your performance, there are much more important factors to consider.

As for the two pistols mentioned, I'd go with a G26 10 times out of 10.

Neither. HK P30 for me... Pick one up and you'll know why. I looked at Glock and XDS and they are viable handguns but I was ruined by the P30. Unfortunately, the price tag reflects that as well.
