Jones is correct. You really need to spend time with both since both are fantastic guns. I tried out both Glock and Springfield recently when I was looking for a .40S&W to get into comp shooting with. After messing with both I ended up buying the Springfield XDm .40S&W and I love it. However, I would have NO problem buying the Glock either. I chose the Springfield because of the grips, the price was right, and the gun came with a few extras.
