Dear RKV:

I wish I could tell you, but I haven’t shot an XD. I’ve seen some people shoot them in matches, and they like them, but I have no first hand experience.

I do like the M&P trigger much better than a Glock’s, and I’ve been told that a non-professional can file the sear and make it even better.

I don’t think you could go wrong with the M&P. The interchangeable grip swells are great. I have an average size hand, so I have settled on the “medium.”

Let me know what you decide.

P.S. Is that a UC Santa Barbara sweatshirt? Do THEY have a pistol team??

Yes that is a UC Santa Barbara sweatshirt. Sorry no team, BUT we do have a club. The Friends of the NRA helped us purchase 5 Ruger Competition .22s for the kids to use. This year we're buying 2 Remington 700s in .223 and 5 more 9mm pistols. We'll see something north of 120 students (some come by more than once) at the range for our events.
