I bought a XD 9mm Subcompact yesterday morning as a birthday gift to myself (I finaly turned 21!)

I did alot of shopping before deciding on it, and so far it seems great. I wont actualy get to fire it till this afternoon, so any before comments would be great. I already dissasembled it and cleaned it, everything seems tiptop.

I also bought 1000 rounds at a local ammo distributor. They are actualy an online seller (Ammunitionstore.com) that is only 20 min away from where I live.

It is Gold Bear (I know cheapo stuff) but I gotr it for real cheap, they also said If I had problems with it, to just return the unused amount for a full refund/credit.

I hope to have a range report in the next six hours

By the way the SC is smaller than I thought I only got to handle and shoot the service before I purchased the SC, but I wanted the smaller version for CCW.

Welcome to the family. I have a 9mm subby also -- in addition to my .40 Service.

Here's a pic. You can see I've added the Pearce grip extension to give support for my pinky. You may want to do the same. It's a great little shooter. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

+1 for the pearce grip extension. best $10 you can spend. only other mod I plan for my XD9 sub is the rubber decal grip.
