Re: Need some advice on CCW weapon choice.

To be frank, I'm not a fan of either Glock or the XD's trigger. I just answered based on ncglock's choices.

Personally, I'd go for a compact 1911 in .45.

Re: Need some advice on CCW weapon choice.

The difference between the HK and XD to me?
I think the XD is the best value. .40 S&W would be a great combo for a compact gun.

Re: Need some advice on CCW weapon choice.

If you're defending the "castle", do you need to CCW? I would think your Glock 17 would fit the bill, or perhaps a shotgun.

Anyways, if I had to choose between your picks, I would take the XD.
