your best bet would be to buy a Glock from topglock.com and have it sent to your local gunshop for the transfer. That is where many of the local places get their Glocks, then they tack on a huge markup. Buy it from topglock, then pay your local shop like $20 to do the paperwork. I think that would be the cheapest way to do it if you want a brand new Glock.
If you want a used one, try gunbroker.com. 9mm is a good beginner round because it is cheap and still very effective (IMO). I have a 9mm but it's a Sig. I hate to say it, but I have the same rounds that guy in Virginia shooting had in his Glock. He definitely did his research on ammo.
After a while though, you will want to move up to more powerful round. I'm getting a G29 (10mm) very soon

I never meant to imply that the XD was less of a firearm then a Glock. Glocks are an intermediate style handgun. The only safety feature they have is built into the trigger itself (virtually pointless) and they have no external hammer/decocking mechanism.
XD's are great weapons. Springfield is a name that is to handguns like Cadillac is to cars.
The bottom line is that XD's are newer in design and not combat proven weapons. They are not standard issue firearms as well in most cases. Glock, Heckler & Koch and Sig Sauer all have proven combat records that speak for themselves. If you look at how many law enforcement agencies across the US and Europe use Sig Sauer handguns as well as US Special Operations forces you will see that the best use the best.

What the fuck are you talking about?
I seriously hope you're not making referrence to a Glock?
Glocks were designed in the 1980's and didn't see widespread use until the 90's. So unless your gramps knows Marty McFly I have no idea what relativity his being in "the war" has to do with a Glock.

Maybe his grandfather is Marty Mcfly and his 1963 Boss 289 ( http://www.californiafords.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=029128;p=&r=nfx ) has a flux capacitor built in. [ April 26, 2007, 03:10 AM: Message edited by: Dag302 ]

My friend let me shoot his XD and it felt like a toy gun. Didn't feel anything like a Sig or even a Glock. It almost felt like a taser gun if anyone has ever held one of those. It's an OK weapon for some people I guess, but holding a Sig with Hogue grips is really a luxury in my opinion. Most other guns just don't feel right after I have been spoiled with the Sig!

yeah i heard Lc action in san jose is great place to go with great deals check them out 1st since your in that area already. the glock 21c is great pistol not a whole lot of recoil for a .45 but when i get ready to go buy one im buying an hk usp.45 just my .02 and u can never go wrong with something based on the 1911 (like a kimber for example) but its all preference.

The best gun you can buy is one that feels right to you.
Springfields and H&K's don't feel right to me.
My guns of choise or Sigs, Glocks, quality 1911 replica and even a gay ass Berreta feels good.
Do yourself a favor go to a shooting range and spend a few dollars trying out different handguns. Select 3 that you like and then go from there.

try looking at the kimbers a little more than a glock but a good shooter out of the box. stay away from baby eagles too many issues if you want something inexpensive that has some commons with the baby eagle look into the cz brand. also ruger is good bang for the buck, i have a p95 and have shot about 5000+ rounds through it and not a single jam.

IMO, doesnt matter if it is a .38, .40, or .45, a long as you are a good shot and practice that is all you need.

For home defense just get a nice 12ga. shotty like a Mossberg Defender, or a Remington 870 (my fav 870 the Marine Magnum)also FN makes a cool tactical shotty. I have a few choices in guns in my safe but wouldn't use anything other than a 12ga. for home defense.
