I have 2 XDs (service 9m and Sub-40) and I NEED another.

I am after a tatical now but wanted a little advice about the different
calibers. What is your pick and why? Thanks for the info. in advance.

For price? 9mm.
For oomph? .357sig.
For middle ground? .40s&w

I just picked up my sub .40 last night to go with my service .40. I thought that this would hold me over for a while, but as I was finishing the paper work on the sub I started playing with a tactical and now I already want it. I think I'll pick it up in .40 yet again.

I went with the .40 for the middle ground factor. Good punch, cheap ammo.

Same here, I use my 40 Tact in USPSA matches. Shot damn nice out of the boxed. Couldn't be happier with my choice, I started off going towards the 9 but I also figured a bigger whole just might get me that "A" that should have been a "C"...

Georgia Arms Canned Heat ammo in .357 sig is only .24 cents per round more, than WWB 40 cal. That is 24/100th of a cent, or in other words, 24 cents more per 100 rounds than 100 rounds of WWB.

Ammo prices isnt a concern if you order in bulk.

Georgia Arms Canned Heat ammo in .357 sig is only .24 cents per round more, than WWB 40 cal.

So Since WWB 100 rd value pack is $15 (or .15 per round) then sig ammo is .24 more per round which makes it .39 per round or $39 per boxof 100 WHAT A STEAL !!!

Ummm....I don't think you read his post close enough. Check out the decimal point.

I just picked up my .40 today and must say I LOVE it! As for why I picked it over the 9, I'm planning on getting a 9mm conversion barrel, and I allready have a .357 mag (Ruger Security Six 6"), and could get the .357 conversion barrel if I want.........

I love my 9mm for cheap blasting, but I were picking one gun i'd get the .40, mainly because with a barrel swap you can shoot both 9mm or .357 Sig. Versatility rocks.
