Width of the XD9SC - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Oppy · 04-08-2008, 09:24 PM

Not to be too anal retentive, but I am very curious about the width of the 9SC and have not seen any site (including SA) that lists it. Perhaps I am just missing it, but in my process that had got me to the point of purchasing XD9SC, I have found complete specs for sub-compacts for everything from Bersa to Taurus. The length, barrel length, and height are posted in many places but not the width.
It is not a huge issue, but the more I am unable to find it the more I want to...I would appreciate being pointed to a resource for that. Thank you!

1.215" across the grip
1.262" across the humps for the thumb rest
1.185" across the frame
1.090" across the wide part of the slide
1.300" across the frame including the slide lock

how's that for my 100th post?

Buddycraigg - Pretty darn good 100th post. Wow. Where did you find that data? Not questioning it, just curious. I think I surf for info fairly efficiently, yet I could never come up with it. Thank you.

I noticed the day I brought my SC 9mm home that is was wider and thicker in the slide than my Tactical 9mm and after busting out the digital caliper I was right. Its probably due for recoil reduction and slide action reliabilty.

LOLOL!!!! Yeah, it's a natural 'micrometer' (emphasis on micro)

To me the XD seems wider than the measurements provided, is that a bit of an optical allusion resulting from the square/blocky shape?

As an example, I held the XD9SC side by side the Bersa UC9 (width 1.34") and the Bersa appeared narrower. However, the measurements provided by Buddycraigg show that at its widest point, XD9SC is slightly narrower...

Anyway, I have beat this topic senseless and appreciate the input.
