Springfield XD 40

unf'king believable.

yes, very safe buy. i've put 3 diff types of bullets to see if i could jam it up with as fast as i could pull the trigger.... it will not bind up. and it was brand new when i did that.

little big if you want to tote it around all the time, but it's one hell of a gun. super well made.

I have the subcompact and I love it. Shoots well and is a tank.

haha... just read those reviews. they're practically saying the same thing i said about the not jamming up. super reliable feed, and very accurate.

i loved the "if sig and glock had a lovechild, this would be it. best of both worlds" line.

and i just learned that it goes through the same stress tests that glocks and h&k's do. pretty neat.

MEH...It's a great gun but overpriced IMO.

brilliant move. you'll never regret it unless you were about to starve and probably should have bought food instead... in that case, you may.

I love my XD40. Throw some night sights on it.

I have one and I love it. I have shot thousands of rounds without a misfire or jam. It breaks down the same way as a glock too, so it's easy to clean.

I'm thinkin a Smith and Wesson M&P .45 will be my first handgun purchase though.

Solid choice, bro.

I convinced a buddy to get one who wanted an M&P9. I talked him into the 45 and he hasn't looked back since.

However, I fond them too bulky and a PIA for CC.

For home defense or recreation, the XD is great. But it is far from an ideal CC weapon. Those things are as wide as a 2x4 on the 4" side.

But, it's still a great firearm. It just has its limitations.

Is this a decent pistol?

I've got one and I like it. I like my Glock 19 better though. I didn't post that to compare the 2, I did it to head off all the "I thought you were a Glock guy" comments.
