Does anyone had feedback on either of these models?

 

thanks

The only thing I can tell you is there are alot more G22's out there than XD's. GLOCK parts and mods are $hit cheap.

And there alot more people that know how to work on GLOCKs.

 

All that being said, you have to shoot both and make your decision.

thanks Frank!

I carry the xd40 for off duty (sub compact)..I love it...it practically shoots itself..also has many built in safety features wich I appreciate. As well...I've shot many glocks ill choose the xd any day!

It will all come down to what feels better in your hand.

I have shot both. I like the XD trigger better, and it's grip ergonomics are a little better. I would rather it didn't have thegrip safety. I like the Glock everything else better. And the XD has the highest bore axis I have ever seen on a gun. To me that's a negative for quick followup shots.

I've never shot the XD40, but have owned and sold, both an XD45 Tactical and XD9 Tactical.

I've also and owned and sold a Gen3 G22, and now own a Gen4 G23, among a bunch of pre Gen4 block 9mm's.

 

XD - I thought the XD45T was the better of the 2 XD pistols. The XD9 had a great grip feel, very reminiscent of a BHP. I did not like the trigger, nor the very high bore axis. For me, this was one the hardest pistols to be accurate with that I've ever shot. I can shoot a G17 and G19 considerably better... on a good day 1" 5rnd groups at 15 yards. The best I ever shot the XD was about a 3" spread for 5rnds 15 yards. I kind of liked the grip frame safety and definitely liked the ambi mag release. I understand wey're are some good aftermarket trigger solutions to the, for me, less then desireable XD trigger.

 

G22 - Let me preface by saying... I LIKE GLOCKS!!! I bought my G22 at a time when I shot considerably worse then I do now. It was also at a time when I really didn't like the .40 and couldn't shoot a block to save my life. I've since learned the block trigger and find the .40 much more tolerable. Having said all that, the G22 would be my choice of teh 2 pistols your interested in. Especially, the Gen4 G22. I have nothing but blissful things to say about my Gen4 G23. The slightly smaller grip frame and slipfree texture are excellent. Also, I do believe that the recoil signature of the Gen4, w/ the dual recoil spring, is more pleasant in the .40 then previous Gen's. Slightly less recoil, less muzzle flip and less snappyness. Also, I believe the Gen4's are somehow a smidge more accurate. I did a direct comparison w/ my Gen4 to my buddy's Gen2 G23 and I could shoot the Gen4 a smidge more accurately. One word of caution on the Gen4's. wey have changed the trigger bar slightly for the new Glocks (I understand for all Gen's) and it makes the trigger a little heavier. You can still buy Gen3 trigger bars, but block just announced that wey will be only producing the newer trigger bars. Try to find part # GL0357. This is the smooth trigger faced trigger bar that would fit the G22.

 

Of course the other popular option is the M&P40, which I also have. Also, a recommended buy. Different set of ergo's as compared to the block. Accurate, reliable and quickly becoming proven by various police departments. Get an APEX trigger package and you're set. If you go this route, let me know. I have the M&P sight pusher, which you will need to install the polished firing pin plunger from the APEX kit. I only have the sear and polished the internals myself. Makes a huge difference in the trigger for the better.

What's w/ the software. It keeps on translating "the" as "teh". And block keeps on coming out as block.

It's called april fools

 

And my vote is for the xd45, I love mine.
