i can them both for 499. the xd only had the grip safety which im not to crazy about but the trigger felt better on it than the m&p. i was able to get a better group with the xd but that was with (probably filthy) rental guns and known to be shitty reloads from that range. i like the over all feel and appearance of the M&P better. i also like the lack of grip safety and the change able palm swells.

Just ordered a VTAC sling and CTR stock. Once those come in my AR will finally be complete! Now for tax time to come so I can get an optic.

I absolutely HATE my VTAC sling. It doesn't provide a very comfortable firing position for me. Hopefully you have better luck. Another downside is, when it's slung over your back, the barrel is pointing upwards.

Never shot an XD. But I've heard a few bad things about their reliability; probably only due to crazy gun nuts who sit on the computer all day nit picking. Can't beat the fact that the Smith is US made and it might even be a little cheaper. Plus, fewer external safeties = fewer things to break. IIRC the XD's had an issue with their thumb safeties, might wanna read up on that too.

Really? I've ran an XD45 for ~6 years, never had any issues with it, never a malfunction. Everyone I talk to in person and online shares the same opinion. They have been made in Croatia since 1999 and have always been very reliable guns. They were known as HS2000's before Springfield bought them. The grip safety is no problem, and is a very simple mechanism that has one moving part. It shouldn't break.

I hate the grip angle on Glocks but wanted a point and shoot striker fired gun, so the XD won it for me. The 13+1 of 45ACP is nice too. At the time those were my only 2 options, I would definitely consider the M&P now too. They are both on par with reliability so just put some rounds through both and get the one that fits your shooting style.

Speaking of slings... Anyone have any experience with the Vickers?

Which one did you get? Mine is the padded MK2 and everything I've read about it is pretty favorable. If I end up not liking it I will probably go for a Blue Force Gear.

Couch, I'm fairly certain the Vickers sling is made by Blue Force Gear and I have yet to hear anything negative about them.

Non-padded. Might be the original, not completely sure. But, the adjustment on it isn't that great, the slide on it is kind of junk and like I mentioned before, it just isn't a good firing position with the sling cinched down.

Have any of you guys used your ar15 variants to hunt with? According to the internet it's only ethical to hunt with .308 since it's pretty much dead as long as you hit the body at least. Also pistols with you while hunting?

.223/5.56NATO will humanely take down deer and coyotes, but not much else IMO.

For deer I'd bring my .308. I'd shoot the .223 only if I could guarantee a good head shot or it was at close range.
