Grettings guys.

I just ordered my very first handgun, and therefore my very first XD. I picked up a All Black 9mm Service Model from GunBroker.com, new in the box for $399 + $25 shipping. I think it was a good deal. I really wanted to go with a local shop and support them, but the cheapest that I could find locally was $490 + Tax. That is quite a difference. With the money I am saving I am planning on picking up a quick access safe and stocking up on ammo.

This gun will be primarily for range shooting, home defense, and probably a little bit of CC. I won't be CC too much because I work at a university and they are a definite no-go. I will be carrying when I am out on the trail (hiking and wheeling) and camping in remote areas.

Thanks for the great forum. I have been lurking for a while and you helped me make my decision!

Welcome to the forum and the XD family. That is a great price, by the way.
