Springfield XD40 compact vs. Glock 27

Does anyone have experience with both of these? I'm debating over which one to get. I've read good reviews for both of these, so I'm just weighing everything out.

I have a springfield XD, 40 cal. I'm looking to buy a Glock 27, the G27 is about an inch smaller in every direction than that of the springfield XD, it weighs about the same. I've carried the springfield concealed, (normally in the small of my back) and it's ok. I think the little smaller, Glock 27 will be more comfortable. The springfield is a great gun, I like the safety's (3) and it shoots very well with very few malfunctions, mostly caused by the cheap ammo I was using, (won't happen again : ) ) I have a Glock 22 I carry on duty and it's perfect. I like Glocks, the springfield has many features that are very similiar to the Glock. All in all they are both great guns in my opinion; however, I currently own the Springfield and am planning on buying the Glock 27 soon. FYI: As I was looking at the Glock 27, I was told by several guys that were there also shopping, the Glock 27 is the best gun to carry concealed/off duty. So there you have it, hope it helps. : )

I like the trigger better on the Glock otherwise both are good pistols. The XD's trigger has a long reset and I prefer a short reset.
