Can't find anything I don't like about the gun.... except I wish it were more concealable to carry. May be if I had less fat, it would be easier?? I do have CCW permit, and already do open carry with this gun but would like something smaller to carry concealed.

I have my sights on the XD subcompact .40, wanting to keep the same caliber gun if possible. The 9mm is also an option, but I think the .40 would do just fine. Any suggestions there?

Here's my questions.... How is the XD subcompact to carry? Yes it's smaller than the XDm, but to you who carry it, how does it conceal? Holster... any recommendations?

My wife loves my XDm, and would like to have it around the house with her. I've taken her shooting quite a bit lately, and she fell in love with it. As she tells me... "Not bad shooting for an old broad, huh?" Glad she still has a good sense of humor.

I have a crossbreed super tuck, MTac, and another no name IWB holster I bought at a gun show. For the past year, the 9SC has been more and more of a burden to carry. I am only carrying it occasionaly now due to the extremely low comfort level. 2 days a week I am in a suit and the other days I am either in jeans if not at the office or business casual when I am at the office.

So my question is, if you could have a CCW holster that WAS NOT a Supertuck or a MTAC, what would it be?

I am 5'11 185. I should also let you know that I have in fact broken in both holsters, and even went as far as to cut my Supertuck into a Combat grip. Still no luck. Its just too bulky for IWB. Buying all my pants 1-2 sizes bigger is not really an option. I also have a gun belt so that cannot be the problem either.

Not trying to knock the Supertuck, its an EXTREMELY well made holster that TONS of people enjoy, it just does not happen to be the right fit for me.

Any other options? Thanks in advance. ]]> General HS2K SA-XD Talk Hawnted http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/136282-ccw-xd9sc.html XD/XDM Rear sights - new member http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/136273-xd-xdm-rear-sights-new-member.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:07:32 GMT I'm happy to have found XDtalk. It is a better source of the info I need than magazines and google searches.

I've seen a few posts regarding rear sight adjustment. Here is my experience: I bought an XDM .40 this summer, and the rear sight was off-center by nearly 1/16th inch - enough, in my limited experience, to pull you off. I had a local gunsmith punch it over, and my shooting improved.

A few weeks ago I bought an XDSC .40, and its rear sight is also off, though less than my XDM was. I am shooting fairly well with it, but will probably have it centered eventually. It makes me wonder how closely SA checks their guns before shipping them out. Have other XD owners found their sights significantly off?

This is a small issue, and otherwise I am thrilled with my XD's. I shoot regulary, and just bought a Supertuck holster.

Thanks to all informative posters! I've learned a lot. ]]> General HS2K SA-XD Talk HeyMister! http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/136273-xd-xdm-rear-sights-new-member.html <![CDATA[13 round mags & older XD-SC9]]> http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/136258-13-round-mags-older-xd-sc9.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:16:04 GMT I have an older XD9 SC - early 2008 purchase. would the new 13 round mags fit it?

I need some answers straightened out before I purchase.

Are there any common problems with XDs?

Is it true that you can't buy parts for it? I'm worried about this because I much prefer to fix my own stuff than send it in, especially if it is a cheap part that could easily be fixed by me instead of having to send my gun in. That is one thing that is swaying me towards glock. Say I put 50,000+ rounds though the XD, is it likely that I will have to send it back for one reason or another to get worked on?

Are magazines interchangeable between models? What about gun parts between the full size, compacts, etc?

Are the glock polymer/steel magazines superior to the XD magazines?

Down the road it WILL be used for concealed carry.

I like that the 9mm obviously holds more rounds, and the ammo is cheaper to shoot.

Whereas the .40 hits a little harder, and you can buy a .357sig barrel and have 2 guns in one.

I'll be picking up my first XD on Tuesday, but I've got a question after witnessing a malfunction at the range.

Guy next to me has a compact XD 9, and is shooting commercial reloads. He has an FTF, so he drops the magazine, waits a little while, and then ejects the round. Good impression on the primer, so the round is a dud. He puts the magazine back in, closes the slide, then isn't sure if he loaded a round or not so he tries to cycle the slide but it's jammed. Drops the magazine, and tries to cycle the slide, does everything he can safely do (by now he had determined there was a live round in the gun) to get the gun to work.

After his buddy and the RSO looked at the gun they asked me to try to eject the round. I couldn't and suggested that he just fire the round if he was sure the round before wasn't a squib. I figured the worst that could happen was the extractor rip the rim off of the case, but then the slide would be free and the case could be removed. After a little while he decided to fire the round, the gun functioned properly. We checked the case and chamber for a problem. The case looked normal, and the chamber was relatively clean.

After that he shoot a couple hundred more rounds without a problem, but it got me wondering what kind of problems I might run in to with my new XD. I realize it was probably an out of spec cartridge and it just got stuck.

I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that I've made a good purchase since I plan on using the XD as my carry gun. ]]> General HS2K SA-XD Talk dcphoto http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/135953-live-round-stuck-chamber.html just looking and starring at the XD http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/135942-just-looking-starring-xd.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:23:38 GMT Do any of you just sit there and just stare and look and mess with your XD while sitting on the couch ?

I have always used hip holsters of one form or another. I prefer to cross draw, so I buy RH holsters and carry on my left side. I wrecked my bike 10/31 and falling on the pistol sucked. A testament to the sturdiness of the XD too. Hitting the road at 40mph and other than a nasty bruise and lots of cussing, the XD came out fine. It just spit out the mag. Kinda cool since I carry loaded! Anyway, I have decided to carry it high while riding just incase someone cuts me off again and I have to drop the bike.

Now, I am going to get a Galco Jackass/Miami style shoulder rig. A RH rig puts the weapon on my left side, correct?? Has anyone ever used such a set up?? And can anyone tell me about OpticsPlanet.com?? Good to deal with??

Thanks for any info........

Instead of the mag release button sticking out the same amount on both sides of the grip I'd say it's 45% one side and 55% the other. Unfortunately the 45% side is where my strong side thumb is. My hands are already on the small side so I have to tilt the gun a bit to hit the mag release.

If the mag release was centered 50/50 or better yet the 55% side where my strong hand thumb goes I could hit the mag release without shifting the gun in my hand.

Is there any way to adjust this or do I need to get a new mag release (I shoot USPSA production with the gun so I don't really wanna get an extended mag release) ]]> General HS2K SA-XD Talk Lucky Strike http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/135797-any-way-adjust-mag-release.html <![CDATA[Where not to oil?

I e-mailed the local SA sales rep. Following is the answer, copied and pasted directly from the response. Now we know. Happy cleaning.

The striker does not have to be absolutely clean and dry but it should not be soaked in oil and left that way. If you are cleaning your XD and get a little bit of oil on the striker just wipe it off as best you can and it should be fine. Some oil will end up on it and that is fine. Some people see that it moves and think that it should then be soaked in oil. This oil eventually combines with carbon and gets gummy. This gummy oil/carbon mixture will eventually slow the striker’s movement enough that it will prevent the striker from impacting the primer hard enough to reliably fire.

When you are looking at the underside of your slide back towards the rear you will see a squarish block that hangs down. This block is part of the striker and if you push it towards the rear you will see that it is spring loaded. Forward of the block the striker is cylindrical and moves in the striker channel. Behind the block you will see the spring. You want to keep excessive oil out of the striker channel and off the cylindrical part of the striker.

do the .45 compacts and XDm's come with the same holster/holder? i'm assuming they are different than all the other models. or did springfield just recently change the holster design? ]]> General HS2K SA-XD Talk nick112207 http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/135699-changed-factory-holsters.html Bad way to lock slide?? http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/135687-bad-way-lock-slide.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:19:30 GMT I know this is not the preferred method but since i am fairly new to pistols (this year) im looking for input.

We went to the gun shop and tried all the good stuff and the H&K P-30 was unbelievable easy but the bottom line here is that I am not about to give up my XD's. I called Springfield to see about a lighter spring but they don't offer any and I really didn't want to change anyway. I asked them about adding some more serrations and sharpening the edges and they basically said no.
Any ideas? Like maybe a machinist that does gun stuff.

The XD9sc feels great and I know they shoot good +2:) But I really like the EMP 9mm feels good in the hand and fit and finish is great and a single stack never shot one yet.But the price is more than I really want to spend score +1.7 but that can be overcome.

At the Shop the Guy said The 20 round mag wouldn't fit in My XDSC. But looking at it, everything is in the same spot(Mag catch). Did he Mean it would just be sticking out of the bottom? "Well, No S***". I thought. I didn't have time to ask anything else, as the place was closing and I was in a rush. I Just thought, assumed, read, that XDs will take mags in the caliber they are in, like Glock 26 will take the Glock 17 Mag. Or the 30 round Make they make also. With No Mods.

So, What XD 9mm Mag Holds 20 rounds ( or More) and will fit, with no mods, in MY XD9SC?

WAIT, Just thought of something. Could it have been an XD-M mag I was Looking at? Still though, it was the same exact size in width and the catch was in the same place.( Or seemed to be)

There are Nice pics on here of DX9SC with the silver of the mag sticking out beyond the extension, meaning they are holding atleast 20 rounds(Maybe more) with a Nice Polished ported barrel(Or Threaded) with Crimson trace .

Been told SA isn't putting together guns for CA right now, due to a magazine shortage. :confused: ]]> General HS2K SA-XD Talk Barbarossa http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/135453-anyone-heard-about-s-10-round-mags.html Barrels For XD Subcompact http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/135429-barrels-xd-subcompact.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:34:20 GMT I would like a shiny bbl on my XD9SC. Am I correct that no one sells a nice, shiny one and that the most practical way to get this is to polish it? And if yes, is there any downside to polishing the bbl?

Being my first pistol and that i haven't shot a gun in 3 years I'm not sure exactly why my aim is off so much. Any advice on sighting in better? Also how does the differences in the grain of the ammo stack up, I'm shooting 115gr.


Any Suggestions is greatly appreciated! ]]> General HS2K SA-XD Talk killaxklown http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/135428-few-questions-handgun-noob-xd9-service.html Newb question on winter maintenance http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/135404-newb-question-winter-maintenance.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:25:40 GMT Since i live in a state that will basically be below freezing from now til April. Is there any precautions/ extra maintenance that needs to be followed if your weapon will be used/exposed to these temperatures. thanks for any info And what if you (gasp) drop it in the snow or have some joker ambush you with snow balls, will a field strip cleaning suffice or some thing more drastic be called for.
