I've had my Glock, M35 for about 8-10 years and in that time the only problem I've ever had was 1 stove piped empty brass. Caused by either a kind of limp round or the way I was gripping it. It can happen if you lighten up on your grip to much during recoil.
If you're worried about the Kabooms, most were sometime ago and nothing recent that I know of. But the few Kabooms in comparison to ALL of the Glocks out there that civilians own and law enforcement have and use, the percentage of incidents has to be less than 1/2 a percent, IF EVEN THAT.
I can't speak much for or about the Springfield XDs other then they're also a polymer framed semi-auto pistol; more than likely developed to try and get some of the Glock market. So if there was anything wrong with the design, as far as the few Kabooms, I doubt there'd be so many manufactures trying to get into the Glock market.
Go to your local dealer, see if they have 1 or 2 of each brand you can rent and give them all a try. Go with what feels the best in your hands and what you shoot the best with. Good luck with what ever you choose and please remember to let us know and post a picture or 2. |
I second this ... one person's opinion on what you should get should be your own. Try them out... everyone's hands are different sizes and certain grips fit your hands best. Comfort is key... you really can't go wrong either way...
