I just got the XD-40 after shooting a XD-45 over the weekend.

I love this gun.

I am from Houston TX and wanted to introduce myself.

I have been looking around the site and really like this place.

I am looking for some sites for my XD- My gun is used specific for comp shooting and home protection.

TRITIUM?
TRUGLO?

ARE THEY EASY TO INSTALL?

The XD sites from what I read on here are a pain in the rear and should be sent to one of the professionals. A Don's Guide Rod, and Camyon Creek trigger job are a must for me, even though I'm waiting to send my XD to Canyon Creek because of financial reasons.

Welcome to the forum.

Just curious. What made you pick the XD-40 after trying out the XD-45ACP?

Well to answer your question is this. I shot the XD-45 last week and I thought it was great. The downfall is that on my own part. I was switching between shooting a 1911 A1 comp gun with a port on the end. It was fine to shoot with out ear plugs. Well when I switched guns I forgot about the earplugs not being in. THE XD-45 blew my hearing out of my left ear for 45 mins. THAT WAS MY BAD. I thought the gun was more accurate than most I had shot. SWEET. The XD-45 belonged to my step father. We ran 200 rounds out of it when we got it home.

Well after 2 days I went down and bought the XD-40. I shot it yesterday on slow 25's "lane targets"at the range.I put it in the black every round.

REASON#1

I bought the 40 Cal for when I'm out of town my wife can be somewhat safe in a hostile town of Houston TX

If you want to get into some practical / defensive shooting that is XD specific, check out this link:

is the .40 not as loud as the .45? I would think it would at least be equally as loud.

Congratulations on the new gun. I, too, am a new XD guy. Bought the XD-9 a couple of weeks ago, and I am absolutely in love with it. I just held the Xd-45 yesterday at the gun store, and now I HAVE to have one. I am getting the feeling that I will soon have a collection of them.

Be Careful buying the guide rod, you may be tempted to do this:

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the site...
