getitat 609 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hello, Ranger My wife qualified for her CHL with a 4" XD-9. She just loved it! I had a Glock 36 for her, (single-stack 45 ACP) but she really wasn't too keen on the 45. I'm gonna get her a XD-9 in 4", or maybe a XD-9 sub-compact for her birthday, depending on how the sub feels to me. Looks like the hi-cap subcompact 9mm holds 12+1, that's acceptable firepower w/ a 9, I guess... I have a XD .45 ACP w/ 4" barrel, it's hands-down my favorite pistol. Kinda bulky for concealed carry, but wow, sure do like that 13+1 capacity! Shoots like pointing 'yer finger, too. It's my next-to-the-bed house pistol, now, I want another for a "truck gun". They hinted that there may be a .45 ACP sub-comp. after the first of the year... Respectfully posted, Guido2 in Houston Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 WOW... ya know, its funny... I just shot my buddies XD-40 today for the first time... ( well first time *I* shot it, I mean. LOL ) I know the 40 is not the 9 mm, but I wanted to pipe in here... I SCHOOLED him with his own pistol. on my *FIRST TIME SHOOTING IT* :up: Out of ten rounds, on the silhouette target at 25 yards... I shot a 98. Check out the pic!!! He was gut shooting the poor thing with every every magazine... I cant figure out WHY hes shooting LOW... but I had all of them right in there... 4 in the X ring, 4 in the 10 ring, and 2 "fliers" in the 9 ring... GO ME!!! (Yeah... I am kinda hyped that I shot it so well! LOL) I would say if the XD9 shoots anything like the XD40... its a great little pistol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dinzag 31 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Get a 40 cal model. You can then go to a .357 sig or 9mm barrel and use the same mags with no mods. 13 rounds of .40 or .357 sig - or 17 rounds of 9mm. I got an EFK Firedragon 9mm barrel for S150. If you get a 9mm, you can't go up to the .40's & .357's... Awesome weapon & ultra dependable. I take this out more than the G-17. ...and that has been my baby for years! I'm hoping Springfield puts out a 10mm now that they have the .45 ACP chambered guns! Here's mine all crayola & oiled up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dinzag, didn't know about the rebarreling options on the XD, knew you could do it on the Glock and Steyr though. very intersting. I was actually looking at the subcompact for my wife.....
