[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1255952, member: 2989"] I love glocks and M&P's. The XD grips are nice, but don't care for how bulky and heavy they are. Hate the high bore axis. Now this is just based on my personal experiences and YMMV, but I've seen more XD's fail to feed than glocks and m&p's. They run fine in a controlled environment at the range. Out of the range, XD's seem to stovepipe or be jam-o-matics more than others. It's actually a running joke because someone with an XD will shoot with us and dismiss our claims of XD's having problems and sure enough, that person's XD will start having issues even though it has been running 100% up until then hehe. I have a love/hate with the grips of the M&P. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I absolutely hate it. I prefer their fullsized pistols. Their compacts are really uncomfortable to me. M&P's run fine except I've seen 2 issues that are minor. Some .40 M&P's will choke on blazer ammo and fail to feed. It's usually with the .40 compact version. Also, I've seen M&P have problems with bullets tumbling. Again I've only see this happen on the small .40 compacts. My friend's gun has this problem shooting Federal Hydrashocks out of his compact. Even at just 10 feet away, you can see where his bullets are slapping the paper sideways and creating oblong tears in the paper instead of round circular clean holes. With glocks, I've seen a rare stove pipe or two, but otherwise they eat any jacketed ammo and keep on trucking. Not a fan of the compensated barelled versions. They seem to make the gun run dirtier and hotter and just a pain overall to clean and to deal with after 200 rounds. I hate full sized glock pistols. The grips are just too much and the hump down that low in the grip is borderline asinine. I do love the compacts and the hump isn't so bad. I actually prefer the grip of a compact glock with a hogue grip over the grip of an m&p and XD. [/QUOTE]
