My XD SC needs company - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Zero · 03-29-2007, 07:05 AM

So I have a 9mm XD SC that I really like. I plan on using this as my CCW piece.

Looking to to get another XD soon, I was thinking either a 9mm Service or Tactical, but am open to other suggestions, too.

Would like to get some mods for the new XD, like a DGR, trigger job, etc.

I was kind of thinking of staying with 9mm, so that I could use the same mags, ammo, etc. Not interested in reloading at this time, so keep that in mind.

+1...you could also buy conversion barrels and shoot 9mm or .357 sig out of a XD40 Service......

I would go with the .40S&W Service. Why, you ask. The 9 and the 40 cost the same and are very close to the same weight. I feel that The 40 will produce a bigger knock down punch then the 9 with a good "self defence bullet." The cost of ammo is close between the two rounds. And, it's a blast to shoot.

I vote for the .40 also. Im just a fan of .40 handguns.

XD45 Service and look at the Compact as well.

You won't be able to use the subcompact mags in the 9mm service or tactical. You would need to buy full size mags, which would fit in the subcompact as long as buy the extension ring to stop you from breaking the ejector off of the subcompact.

It sounds like you want a range gun to customize and perhaps learn to shoot the wings off of a fly. You might as well go for the 9mm tactical. Easy to shoot, a noticeable step up in accuracy from the subcompact, and low ammo cost.

A case could be made for a .40 or .45 if this is going to double as a home defense gun, but you didn't mention it.

Where do you buy your ammo? As far as I can tell, the .40 costs 40-50% more than 9mm. We'll say about a 3.50 dollar difference for a box of 50, or 70 dollars difference for every 1000 rounds you shoot. If you end up shooting 10,000 rounds through the gun, then that would obviously be a 700 dollar difference in ammo cost. That's a lot of money to throw at targets.
