lil update fellas:
so i went to academy to "try-on" some guns today after i got off work...the guy that helped me, tj, was real cool n explained a lot of stuff...anywho, i held both guns and let me tell ya, to me, the xd feels like im holding a broom stick(imho)...i couldnt get over the fact that there are no groves for your fingers...im not a lil guy (6' 195lbs) but my hands arent huge either...the lil groves on the glocks, to me, feel more comfortable....i held a few other guns too but by the time he handed them to me n said the name i was already handing them back because i didnt like the grip or size or weight....he also mentioned the safety difference and grip angle which i already knew about...to me i didnt notice a huge diff as far as the angle of the grip; didnt seem to be a problem...the safety wasnt much of a factor as far as comfort but again, i couldnt get past the fact that it didnt have grooves...idk, im sure some aftermarket company makes a grip slide or somethin but even if it was added, its a toss up(minus the shooting, havent done that yet)...with all that said, glock still has the edge for me...i like the feel, it weighs less, i cant complain about accuracy heck i did okay at 20 feet for a noob, from what i hear they are extremely reliable....thats the opinion so far, feel free to correct me if im maybe misconstruing something
If you need to shoot a Glock any more let me know. I no longer own any of the Croatian pistols, maybe someone else will let you shoot one of their's. Buy what works best for YOU, not someone else.
