DS50 1 Posted May 30, 2011 OK ive made my decision to get either a Glock 34 or a Springfield XD 45 5" barrel. Any one own both or just know alot about them. Which is better? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DS50 1 Posted May 30, 2011 What would be better...... you posting your threads in the correct section..... ( moved to Handguns) Of course they both look nice. but im not one about the looks. i care more about accuracy and reliability. looking to order from Buds on tuesday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted May 30, 2011 which is better? That is like apples and oranges. 45acp vs 9mm The 34 is really a comp gun and unless you have any intention of competing, there's no point. I dislike xd's so I won't comment about them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted May 30, 2011 Of course they both look nice. but im not one about the looks. i care more about accuracy and reliability. looking to order from Buds on tuesday Why not do a price request and see what the local vendors can do for you?

vjf915 456 Posted May 30, 2011 The one that's better is whichever feels better in your hands. A gun that is capable of being accurate, but doesn't feel good in your hands won't be accurate. Go to your local gun store, and hold both. Whichever gun feels and points naturally is going to be the better gun for you. Both Glocks and XD's have more than enough aftermarket support to make up for any factory flaws. Am I the only one that sees this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vjf915 456 Posted May 30, 2011 M&P Between the M&P, XD, and a Glock....I would choose the M&P in a freakin' heartbeat. Glocks and XDs feel so terrible to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DS50 1 Posted May 30, 2011 Why not do a price request and see what the local vendors can do for you? well im not worried about the price. i was on budspolicesupply.com and they have lowest prices. rather than buying from the local shops and paying an extra 150.i live in long branch the closest places im aware of are brick armory and shoreshot.

QuePsiPhiSmkr 14 Posted May 30, 2011 I got the XD .40 subcompact. I got mine from Paul (Arms and Ammo and he had the best price.... I you get it, my suggestion is to send it out for some trigger work..Cut down the overtravel and smooth it out...I love it...It is my HD weapon of choice in our house.

bry@n 195 Posted May 30, 2011 Between the M&P, XD, and a Glock....I would choose the M&P in a freakin' heartbeat. Glocks and XDs feel so terrible to me. I have to agree with you. I am drinking the M&P kool aid. well im not worried about the price. i was on budspolicesupply.com and they have lowest prices. rather than buying from the local shops and paying an extra 150.i live in long branch the closest places im aware of are brick armory and shoreshot. There are quite a few dealers on the forum. Fill out the price request and you will be surprised. I wouldn't by a rag from brick armory, so I can see your point there but SS and the other vendors are all stand up. Bud's has good prices on things but I can't see the g34 being that much cheaper.

matt6669 71 Posted May 30, 2011 Right, they are special until you pay for shipping, nics and a transfer fee and then it's more like bend over and let bubba take care of you when you could of supported a forum vendor and gotten it cheap and faster b/c chances are one of our forum vendors already have it in stock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DS50 1 Posted May 30, 2011 Some of the people on here try to sell it for what i can buy it new. And gunbroker there were two. Both were highly overpriced. Im not in a rush to get it and just buy it because its there. Ill get it fir the price i want it for. And buds gives military and law enforcement discounts.

DS50 1 Posted May 30, 2011 They have free shipping, military discount, and secure all transfer is 25 and 15 nics. So why buy a handgun that is 100+ overpriced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny thing is, I pointed this out the very first day this guy showed up two days ago....and I was told my accusations were unnecessary and got lots of negative rep for it In fact: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/24910-looking-to-buy-a-50-cal-desert-eagle/page__p__327961__fromsearch__1#entry327961 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted May 30, 2011 Vic, that was his first post or so, and we dont just call everyone who has a different opinion a troll. Based on a few other posts, we get a more complete picture. But I dont think he is a troll, he just things differently. =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vjf915 456 Posted May 30, 2011 Caine, you just cracked me up Vic, that was his first post or so, and we dont just call everyone who has a different opinion a troll. Based on a few other posts, we get a more complete picture. I didn't do it because of his first post though. I did it because he created 5 separate threads in rapid succession, some of which were in the wrong sections, and because of the way in which he was posting. Maks, I understand that as the owner and creator of this site, you can't just shun new members like that. I apologize if it stepped on your toes and on the toes of the site....I just call it how I see it sometimes. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
