.45 is hardly a problem to control in a full frame pistol.... my .40 Glock is harder on the recoil than my brick if a 1911. It's all relative.

If you're getting bit by the slide on a Glock, you're doing something wrong. Fix your grip.
The guys did work with me and I was pretty comfortable with them all, I guess I'm coming down pretty hard on the glock. (especially for somebody who just started shooting) I did like its weight compared to other pistols - MK23 - but I really synched with the XD.
The Mk23 is a brick and a half.
It's easy to knock Glock. It's inexpensive, mostly polymer, light (some see that as bad). Reality is though, they're tough as nails. I used to not like Glock... now I own one. Great pistol, takes abuse, very accurate.
I've shot both, and personally, I prefer the XD in any caliber. I'm very used to shooting 1911s, so the grip angle on the XD is much more preferrable (identical to the grip angle of a 1911) to my taste. The XDs I've shot have felt as tight and solid as they could possibly be while remaining flawlessly functional, and they were terrifically accurate (especially the .45, probably once again due to the familiarity of the feel of the caliber).
The Glocks I have shot have always felt kind of like...I dunno...missing something. They just don't feel right to me, and they don't feel as "instinctive," I suppose. The trigger on the XD is much better as well, but that's usually the case when dealing with SA vs. DA. Both are great guns for the price, but considering they are about the same price most places, give or take $50, it's XD for me. Just my two cents.
Having said all that, though, if you'll give me a SIG P226 or P220 for the same price, it's not even a contest.

Amen brother!
Good explanation for those who keep banging their heads against the wall (?) on the proverbial "which pistol is best ..... ???" question.
Completely agree .... I've had 3-4 Glocks .... only have one now .... an upgraded Model 19 --- probably one of the next pistols I'll sell. Nothing 'wrong' with it ... it's a great little pistol. It's just never "fit" my hand as well as other pistols.
It's just not my "grip style".

They're not the same price...the base model of the P226 is 750 while the base model of the springfield is 560.

Uh... yeah, he was saying that if you could get him a SIG for the same price, he'd pick it over the Springfield. As would I. SIG > Springfield
