I've seen a few posts on here lately about the springfield XD's. I just bought mine from Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore for $499 new. Seemed to be the best deal I could find. Add $20 for shipping and $20 for FFL transfer, and it was still cheaper than most other online sites.

LINK

More importantly, I can't wait to get it and put it through it's paces.


UPDATE:
Just bumping this thread, after receiving my gun. It got delayed because my credit card denied it as a fraud protection. (I'm an OT poor college student so that large of a purchase is an abnormality ) So I had to get that straightened out..

Sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. It seemed like a smallish organization because they started remembering who I was after just a few calls. I was unsure of the site when I first ordered it, but everything was on the up and up, plus this particular gun was cheaper than I saw anywhere else. Just thought I would share my experience with the site for those looking to make purchases. They have some really good prices going right now.

I know, CSB

Nice bud


If you shoot it around BR sometime let me know. I'm trying to decide between the XDM 40 and Glock 22

Did you compare the two?

XDM 40
Nice shooting gun. My friend has one and I really like it.

That being said I'm all but set on a Glock 21

I should get it Mid Week next week, so I'll be sure to drop you a line next time I go and we can put a few boxes through it.

I went to precision firearms and fired the Glock 19 (almost surely gen3) and the XD9 (not m) just to get an idea of how they handled. It was only $10 per gun rental. They had the xd(m) compact there so I was able to feel it in my hand, but it wasn't for rental.

I looked into the full size XDM 40 with the 4 1/2 barrel, but I ended up getting a good deal on a Magnum Research MR40. I'm really happy with it.

Indeed. As soon as I held it I knew it was perfect. Like cinderellas slipper

ETA: although I got the compact with the intent of possibly using it as my CC when I get certified, but it might be a tad too thick to use it as such.
