Springfield XD

[irishnut]

Anyone own an XD. I just bought XD40 3' compact and I love it.

I have a SC .40 for CCW. In a Comp-Tac it just disappears. 1000+ rounds through it and never a hiccup. AWESOME handgun.

I've tried XD40 the other day and it is perhaps the best pistol i have ever used. Is there any agency out there yet that allows XD for on-duty carry?

[redneck41]

I just bought an XD9 4". After I "cool off" for a few days I can take it home. I guess their worried that I'll shoot someone with it, instead of the other 40 guns in the house.

I bought mine for my back-up. Well, it will be after I qualify with it!!!!

As far as all of the Glock-offs go, I think the XD is the best one out there. I would still just get a Glock.

had it for about 3 weeks.... its is awsome!!!

xd-9...

picked up an xd-9....got a good deal on a used one...and absolutely love it...only 500 rounds through it so far, but not a single jam yet....I hate to say it, but I think I like the feel of my glock 36 better though...even though it doesn't have all of the extra safety features...

After many years, I fnally bought a polymer (aw heck, plastic) gun, and XD 4" 9mm. I like it. It's not a 1911 in .45, but for a ranch gun, it will do just fine. Accurate, reliable, comfortable. Grocks just don't 'point' for me. I'm putting lots of rounds downrange with it, and will be shooting competition with it soon.

You say that in every Springfield XD post. Wasnt there a guy in here a few years back that thought Glocks were a gift from god...Glockophile I think is what he went by. I think he was banned....lol
No I am not saying your him. I have an XD-45 its a great gun.

Well:

I bought the sub-compact .40 a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. Isn't too big to conceal carry at all and incredibley fun to shoot.

I have XD-40s in both 4" & 3". Excellent weapons, love them. However, I did have a problem with the guide rod (on the 4") breaking on me during qualifications last year. That would have been a major FUBAR if it happened out on the street against a BG. To save being redundant here, you can read about it if you do a thread search. To make sure it never happens again though, I purchased a solid one-piece heavy guide rod from Brownell's and replaced the thin factory two-piece welded one.
