i carry with an xd 40 subcompact every day. really great gun. i have nothing bad to say about it.

Got to try one today and it shoots really nice.

Problem is the guy talked me into shooting a Glock 26 as well and now I think I like it better.

I had never held the G26 before and it seems lighter than the XD.

My experience with the G26 changed my mind that Glocks don't fit well in my hand.

I have owned a XD-9 (4 inch model) for about 3 years now and absolutely love it. Has been very reliable with close to 5000 bullets through it. I also use it as my carry weapon and find it very comfortable. I say go for it! :-)

Good stuff. Glad you like it. I never did get used to the grip angle / sight picture of the Glock.

I've had my Glock 17 since the first year they came out. I have fired thousands of rounds with only a couple of stovepiped brass ejection failures. I find the (to me) natural pointing, hand fit and sight picture the best features. The trigger feel takes a lot of getting used to.

I love the way the Glock 20 and the 23 fit in my hand. The thing I found about Glocks, is that you wither like them or hate them.

The great thing about Glocks other than their legendary quality is their variety. They offer a wide range of models from full size to concealed-carry ready, and do a great job with their subcompact models like the G26 you're talking about. I'm ready to pick up a subcompact G36 myself very soon so I know the draw that 26 had for you. You did the best thing possible in personally inspecting the gun for yourself and making your own judgment. As they say, to each his own right?

Gotta LOVE a threaded barrel :-)

That is one sexy pistol. Do you happen to have a full size to take pictures with this compact?

Wow that is beautiful! I love HK's:-):-):-)

Nice looking USP! :-)

No, as I said in the other thread, I used to own the fullsize brother of this pistol (well.. not the tactical)... and it just never fit my hands. I ended up selling it and missed it ever since. :-) This compact fits like a dream. :-)


EDIT:: I found a pic of my old one. Pic is crappy cus well... this was years ago :-)

I have to say I did enjoy having a hammer spur on the old one. Something the new one lacks. Both are/were V1 config.

Awesome. It looks nice

That's great that you found one that suits you. Everyone has there own likes and dislikes, that's why they make so many varations.

Shoot well and be safe.
