Madhouse Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 When I got rid of all my .40S&W pistols and ammo, one of the ones I sold was a Springfield XD-40. I really liked that pistol, outstanding ergonomics, excellent functionality.So, I was at the gun show downtown yesterday and grabbed up a standard XD-9 for $400 flat. :thumb:
asmurff Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 It took a while for the XD to grow on me. My wife has the compact .45acp. It has grown on me, initially I didn't care for the balance, but I realize now it was just because I like the feel of a 1911 frame so much. I think sometime in the future I'd really like to have a XD-M 3.8" 9mm compact.
Microgunner Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 I own a XD-40 service model w/V10 ported barrel and really like it. Also own a XDm-9 and like it even better.Great pistols.
Madhouse Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Posted September 6, 2011 I took this out today and did a side-by-side with my FNP-9. They're both awesome. I would say the XD feels better (ergonomically) in the hand, but I was able to group slightly better at 7 yards with the FN. Either way, the XD is a keeper. :thumb:
Tal Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 My nephew has the XD 40, and I"ve shot it. Great gun..
bdavison Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Im planning on picking up a XD tommorow. Cant decide whether I want the XD9 in 9mm, or the XD Compact in .45Also...go get one now if you are considering it. Springfield Armory is giving away 3 extra magazines, and an extra magazine holster for free if you buy between Sept 1 and Nov 30.You get two magazines with the gun....so thats 5 magazines with the special offer, two magazine holsters, a belt holster for the gun, the gun itself, a speedloader, a case, and a lock.....all for around $500You'd be crazy not go go buy one.Im thinking Im going to get the compact .45 as I could use a new concealment gun. I promise, Ill do a full review on here with pics and range report after I get it.
bdavison Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 I really want to see what it can do against the Glock 17, and a Sig Sauer 9mm. Shot a 138 out of 140 last weekend with those two...so...Bring it springfield, lets throw down and see what you can do.
bdavison Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Well, I did it..Went and bought a brand spankin' new Springfield Armory XD Compact in .45 today....and promptly sent off my paperwork for the "GearUP" promotion.So basically for $500 bucks I just scored a .45 XD Compact, with 5 magazines, two magazine holsters, gun holster, speedloader, case, lock, cleaning brush. HECK OF A DEAL!!!Gotta shoot some pics...
Madhouse Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Posted September 24, 2011 Of course, I bought mine just a few weeks too early! :(
Microgunner Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 Of course, I bought mine just a few weeks too early! :(If you bought it from a local guy instead of a chain store have your dealer write you up a phony receipt showing you just purchased it. He'll do it for you.This is if you didn't send in the warranty card of course.
bdavison Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 I wouldnt recommend doing that....its mail fraud.But, Im sure if you asked Springfield Armory nicely, they would let you participate in the special deal. Cant hurt to ask.
