Breathing is an important consideration when going for accuracy, not necessarily speed. I'm referring to a Bullseye, my best accuracy, gnat's a*% accuracy. The other issue is trigger control. IMO, and again, IMO, I've never found a striker fired weapon (XDs, Glocks, etc.) with a nice crisp, no creep, no take up trigger pulls. I'm not saying that the striker type guns are not capable of superb accuracy, far from it, especially the XDs. What I am saying is that, especially for a new shooter, or someone who doesn't fire a couple of hundred rounds a week, The trigger is another obstacle to overcome. I like the XD better than all the other striker handguns. I keep one in my Gator on the farm, it's not what I compete (IPSC) with. Sorry for the length and I certainly apologize if any of this sounds condescending.
