Looking at buying a new Pistol. Opinions? -Glock 19, Gen3 with one mag, w/night sights, used very good+ 479.00 -NIB(all the Springfield ass...) XD-9, subcompact....519.00... |
If you watch the EE you could find a nice Glock 17 or 19 for $400 with at least two mags.. the factory night sights are not worth much IMHO, at least if they are the staked in kind(which if break you are SOL and have to buy a new front). Especially when you can score a set of Meps for $70 at Brownells  Also if you might be able to get a military discount on a NEW Glock at a Glock LE dealer

I'd get whichever one you shoot better, and like better. You should be able to get a hundred off a new Glock with their Homeland security pricing. Military, law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, and more. Find an actual Glock dealer, not just someplace that is selling them and ask. Or get yourself over here and someone can show you a couple stores for one or the other. |
XD-9 sub is smaller, about the same size as a Glock 26. |
True, but I find my Glock 19 conceals just as well or better than my Glock 26. To me the longer slide stabilizes the gun IWB and the longer grip is easier to get a grip on. |
