There needs to be a third option: Sell them both and get a P-10C.  ;)

Springfield. But only because Glock fanboy-ism has killed almost all desire to want to shoot one.

If you shoot them both the same I would keep the Glock.

My vote was for the xd, only because it fits me better, Glocks don’t fit my hands as well. This is entirely a personal decision that the group here really can’t help you decide. Both are good guns. If accustomed to the Glock grip angle & it shoots well for you, go with that.  If the XD is a better fit/ performs better, go with that.

If you shoot them both the same and can only keep one keep your Glock.
That's what Id do for sure if I could only keep one.
Its up to you though. I am not a fan of XD's at all

so you want everyone else to have striker-fired tupperware (which is what both of the OP's pistols are)?

Seeing as it's between those 2, keep the Glock if you're going to customize. The Springfield if you plan to leave stock. My own choice, for a striker fired pistol, would be buy a Glock 45 style frame and put the G19 slide on it.

Suggested fourth option: Sell both and buy a reliable and durable hammer-fired pistol, e.g. CZ 75, CZ P01, P07, P09, HK P30 (sk) etc.

That’s actually option 1, Cajunized CZ 75 BD.  ;D ;D
So the Glock 19 vs SA XD debate is to win the option 2 title. lol

Yeah, I think I’m just gonna keep the G19 put an Apex trigger, new sights and grip.
Guess it’s gonna be Austrian-Czech and not Croatian-Czech.
Also, Stainless Steel is a bit too flashy sometimes.

Thank you all!
