New XD .40 4" Owner

Just picked up the XD .40 4" model, and I am headed to the range with it tomorrow morning. I picked up some Winchester 165 gr FMJ range loads to use tomorrow, I figured I might as well go with cheaper ammo while breaking in the gun.

I am also bringing a Glock 27, a S&W 3913 9mm, and a tiny Taurus PT22. I borrowed these from a friend. I am bringing the wife and a friend of hers, both of whom have never fired a handgun before, that is the reason I borrowed the 22. I borrowed the Glock because I really want to compare it to the XD, and he threw in the S&W.

I will post results tomorrow.

Happy to be here,

Mike

Heck with cheaper ammo, I always go with cheapest ammo! Use good stuff for carry and cheapest for fun.

Happy to see you!

So what is cheaper than the Winchester 165 gr JHP's I picked up at WallyWorld for $21.50 for a box of 100?

Welcome to the forum from UT. Do not forget to post a range report. I would like to know what your thoughts on the XD vs. Glock are after shooting each and how the Girls liked the outing.
