This is very true if he takes good instruction, where emphasis is placed on resetting the trigger correctly. Probably also true, but if he eventually becomes more skilled, especially in shooting at speed (defensive type), he will probably come to prefer the shorter reset. The Glock is simply easier for me to shoot fast and well because the front sight doesn't jump as high. I can certainly tell the difference in muzzle jump between a Glock and an XD. A newbie will probably not be able to tell the difference, but as his skill increases, he will be able to see the difference. But a gun with a low bore axis minimizes muzzle flip, thus staying on target better in rapid fire. Recoil will be the same if the guns weigh the same (Newton's law). Recoil and muzzle jump aren't really the same thing. Alas, you need a shot timer to measure speed, and the vast majority of shooters, while willing to buy targets to measure accuracy, are unwilling to buy timers to measure the other half of the equation. Not just in static slowfire shooting, but also in dynamic speed shooting (since you intend to use it for defense). Lastly, it's not so much how a gun "feels" in your hand so much as how it performs. Also, your hand will adapt to almost any gun that is proportionate to your hand size. New shooters, quite honestly, often don't really know how to hold a pistol and therefore don't know what feels right. People get hung up on the "feel" of a gun, but I don't. The "safety features" of the XD - grip safety, loaded chamber indicator, striker status indicator - are all basically irrelevant if you learn and follow the Four Rules. The Glock has a much longer track record of reliability than the XD. There is a far better selection of holsters and accessories for the Glock, and magazines are everywhere and cheap.Ĥ. The Glock's trigger resets in a MUCH shorter distance than the XD's, again allowing it to be shot faster while maintaining good accuracy.ģ. The Glock's lower bore axis gives it less muzzle flip than the XD, allowing it to be shot faster with good accuracy.Ģ. I'll go against the grain and say I strongly prefer the Glock.
