I’m about to purchase my first handgun and I am in debate over which gun to buy, the xd 45acp or the glock 30. Any advice…?

Never shot a Glock so I can't say good or bad about them but I have shot the XD-.45 and it's a shooter for sure. It looks like a brick when you pick it up and it looks like a lanch off a aircraft carrier when looking down the sights. Man it is accurate and seems to shoot forever. I like them real well. Good luck.

Best, Baldy..

While it pains me to say it, given the choice between these two specific guns, I would get the XD. The 30's grip is huge and awkward, unless you have very big hands. The XD's is much more reasonably sized, though as noted the slide is gargantuan.

Personally, though, I have no need for a double-stack .45 and would get a Glock 36!

I have both, My XD45 is the compact. The G30 has a slight edge in concealibility due to it's shorter grip and lower slide. The ergonomics of the XD are amazing while the G30 is a little chunky and has a longer trigger reach. It really comes down to what you want out of the gun. As far as accuracy both are very, very good.

Here's a comparison:

G30


XD45C
