Needed one to practice on a few days prior to SA/TeamOneNetwork XD Armorers course earlier this month. Bought at cost. 3". Just so happened that the class weapon for me was......3"er!! Other officers had 5''ers, Tacs, 4"ers. Most Dept's(at least in CO.) seem to be interested in the .45acp guns. Sure wish they would go to em here in GA.(sigh)GLUCK country down here! Oh well.....later......mr.t.

hits count............but misses count more...

traded for it

I had a S&W Sigma 9, I hated it. It was so inaccurate, I almost thought it was me. Hated the trigger pull, recoil and bounce. Traded it for my XD-9. Best thing I ever did! There is no comparison.

The other guns that I looked at and considered when I bought my XD were the following:

S&W Sigma = too many bad revues ( & I love S&W)
S&W M&P = grip didn't feel "right"
G26 = Grip was to thick plus it was a Glock
Taurus 24/7 = not my style
G19 = It was a Glock
Sigs = Didnt like the feel
All XD models and sizes = Oh so many great guns I had trouble picking the one that I wanted. (Wanted all could only afford 1 )
I ended up with the XD9subcompact I LOVE it.

Maybe it was Divine intervention!
