Glock vs. M&P vs. XD – Which is the best?

Written by GWebEditor on 15 November 2011

Opinions about the Glock vs MP vs XD

It has been a while since we explored the differences between these three popular carry (CCW) pistols. This is a long look at lots of details and why I perfer the Smith & Wesson M&P over the Glock and why I don’t like the Springfield XD, but why I understand why some people do.
