Next to the forums. Not to XD
Hello all from Florida. I bought my first XD 4 years ago a month after my 21st birthday. I picked up a 5" tactical .45 I LOVE this gun. 2 years later I bought another tactical 5" but in 9mm. The .45 is so dead on I refuse to try to improve the gun. 1 inch groups at 35 feet (in the right hands) and easily pick off clay targets at 75 yards. My 9mm on the other hand not so much. I have a set of night glow sights installed.
I have lots of questions for the forums later, right now I'm just saying hello. Please ask any questions and give any advice.
Thanks!

Thank you everybody for the warm welcome.
As for my 9mm, compared to my .45 it's not even close and I would figure a 9mm would be more accurate. If I zone in I can knock the bullseye out of the target with only a few strays from flinching. But my 9mm the best it's ever done was a 3 inch group.
