Glock 27 vs Springfield Sub 40

[jwalker497]

Which of these would you prefer and why for IWB CCW? I will also be picking up a 357sig conversion barrel for which ever I choose and would love to hear if anyone has converted their 27 or XD to 357. I heard that all you need is a barrel change, no mag change.

They are the same. Which platform do you prefer? Have you shot them? Find out which you like better to shoot.

Same stuff. There are a million threads like this one. Try doing a search and you will find your answer, grasshopper.

I voted XD40sc - simply because for me it was the best option. As was said above, both are great guns - pick the one that feels best for you.
I do know that folks have had a hard time getting a conversion barrel for the XD40sc. For a long while I was waiting to buy a conversion barrel for .357 sig. Alas, people are still waiting for the same companies I was waiting on a year ago.

I'm a converted Glock lover now, so......the Glock it is.

XD40sc, I just bought a cherry nice used one today with a stainless slide. No reasons other than I'm a fan of the brand. Totally useless info for a poll I suppose.

XD fits me better, and I chose the 9mm for the higher cap (13rounds!). Both are good options.

Even the Glock barely could be considered a sub-compact. The Springfield is more G23 like. It's hard for me to think either of these chunky little guns as sub-compact. I always think of PM9's as a standard for sub size. Both your picks are good pistols though.

Depending on where and how you carry, you may consider getting a horsehide holster that fully covers where the slides would otherwise rest against your body/undershirt. I don't have a Glock 27 but I do carry my SAXD40SC with no issues. Also, I have heard the conversion barrels extend further out the front of the slide which I would say might be helpful in a fight if the BG was on you. There is something about paying $$$$$ for a conversion barrel though that makes it hard for me to justify when I could just go ahead and get another firearm.

The Springfield is more G23 like.

I have a Kahr MK9 and my dad has a XD SC and the XD is not very much bigger at all. Maybe a 1/4" on the Height and Length and maybe an 1/8" thicker. I was suprised.

I voted XD... never been crazy about the grip angle on the Glocks. Just personal preference.

GLOCK for this Marine (I carry one). Never been a big fan of XD. Though, the former poster is correct, the XD SC is closer to a G23 in size. At that point, HANDS DOWN, G23.

[Cuda66]

The XDSC is bigger, heavier, and bulkier than the G27.

Also, it has nothing to offer by way of an improvement over the Glock.

The XD isn't a bad gun, but the G27 is a much better choice; as would a G23, for a closer comparison.

me too. I love my G26! so Glock it!

[TX-JB]

I'd pick the Glock because it has a shorter grip height. I have a G26 and can easily pocket carry it, due to the short grip... I did pick the XD45 over a G21, so I'm fans of both brands... I've just never thought of the XDsc's as being that small...
