I picked up my XD yesterday, so of course today I went to the range to put holes in paper.
it shoots nice, I'm not that great of a shot but, someone here said it would make me a better shooter. I believe that to be true.
I managed a couple of 2" groups had some wild flyers too.
I shoot better with my beretta 9 mm but I've had that pistola for better then 25 years.

It's a great pistol. The more you shoot it, the more you'll like it.

My shooting partner has both an XD9 and an XD40, both great shooting guns. I have been lusting for one of the new S&W E series .45's myself with the factory crimson trace grips.  |

LOVE my XD 9 subcompact, but that short barrel is loud, plus the parkerized slide with the OD green frame looks cool!

I hear you guys about heavy. My USP.40 is big for a carry gun, though it used to be my primary. I also have a USP9 compact which is better, but still not small. I've been looking into maybe getting a Sig P230 or somesuch or maybe even my first wheelgun in a small-frame shrouded hammer S&W. And Pup, who cares about loud. Hopefully the only person who'd complain about the sound won't live to. |

Yes, it will make a better shooter of you. As one of the army pistol team told me one day....front sight, front sight, front sight!

I was losing focus today, serveral times lost my sight picture with both eyes open. pause, take another breath and re-focus. it's not going to be a conceal peice, it is abit bulky. not the sub compact it's the mid size fits my hand perfectly. I fired about 50 rounds, like it alot  |

Love my XD-40 service 4". It would be nice if it was a bit smalller for CCW, since I'm a thin guy, but its positive attributes far outweigh (no pun intended) its weight and size for concealment.

For all of the big man bikers in here my woman unit carries a XD45. She started out on my Glocks (G30/G21) but liked the XD better by design.
She knocks out the center target at 15 yards every time.
I heard a gal's testimonial on 'gun talk' with Tom Gresham. she used to carry a .357 revolver and moved on up to a XD .45. she gave her .357 to her boyfriend  |
