i have looked into the XD, the glock, and the S&W......keep in mind i love S&W anyways so i am a little biased......the XD: great gun, very reliable, comfortable to shoot IMO......the glock: I HATE THEM, they dont fit my hand well at all, i hate the feeling when i shoot them, they are however one of the best guns on the market, this one is personal preference, i have many friends that wont shoot anything else......the S&W: i shot a 45 and LOVE IT, the controls are easy to get to in a hurry, comfortable shooting position in my hand, i like the interchangable palm swells for the grip, removable safety (only on the 45), little recoil, FUN TO SHOOT!. im selling my S&W 4526 to buy the M&P 45!!!! these are all my personal opinion and nothing else, i love to shoot and have shot these three and this is how i feel about them......i recommend finding a way to shoot the guns u r intetested in and make your decision on that. good luck

I absolutely loved my Glock. Know that the .45 and 10mm are different sized frames though, so if you held a .45 itll be different that the .40. Have you looked at the Sig, and HK? I loved my Sig even more than my Glock, but the finish sucked and it would get surface rust after a few days in the truck. I think they have a better finish now though.

another +1 for the xd's... i love mine, went with the 40 cal and haven't been happier. tried out all the others and the xd felt the best. it's really how YOU personally fit with them that will make the ultimate decision.

Check out the Springfield, nice guns, or sig. I have a sig 229 and love it. Hk is in the same price range as the sigs.

The P229 looks nice... and from what I've researched, they are the best for accuracy & comfort. It's a bit out of my price range though. My cousin owns some sort of S&W .40 (metal). I've held it, but have not shot it. I'll be attending the next gun & knife show just to see & hold different types of guns. I'll pull the trigger on getting one eventually.
