I have the XD40 SC. I love it. It is soo easy to carry and shoots well.

XD-9 Service Black. I have about 800 rounds through it so far, they consist of WWB 115gr FMJ, UMC 115gr(?) FMJ, Speer Gold Dot +P 124gr JHP, and ElDorado Starfire 124gr JHP. The only FTE was a friend shooting it that's not used to autoloaders, and I think he limp-wristed it. I love the gun, aside from everything else already said here, it seemed very acurate right off the bat, and I use it for my HD/range gun. May be a little big for CC, but who knows, I'll only find out once it gets passed here

Oh yea, I shot my friends XD-40 Service and I almost thought it was easier to control than my XD-9, a lot less muzzle flip, or maybe that was just me?

I've alsot got a black XD9 Service model. It was a heck of a deal considering it was NIB and had Factory Installed Trijicon Night Sights. This is my first 9mm and I have absolutely no complaints. Never had a failure of any kind and am approaching 1500 rounds.

MeanStreaker - sounds like a good deal. Do you have any pics of the XD with the night sights?

MeanStreaker · October 31st, 2005, 01:01 PM

Hooligan, I'll take some pics tonight so long as my camera batteries are charged up. You can really only tell much of a difference in the dark...Hmmm, I wonder if I can capture that?

XD40 bi-tone Service model here. I love the gun. It points very naturally, recoil is very manageable--just a lot of fun to shoot. Since it's fun to shoot, I've run a bunch of rounds through it, from Hydrashock 135 gr. rockets to the standard range food of 180 gr WWB without any feed or fail to fire issues.

I only experienced the rust issue on the "stainless" slide when I first brought it home. The rust inhibitor that dries on the slide does the trick without leaving the slick coating from a little oil, although that works well also.

The other issue is the grip safety. This seems to (to me anyway) solve the need for the infamous Saf-T-Block on the GLOCK that some feel is wise in another popular thread.
