I voted yes, because I did buy one a little over a month ago...but I wish I hadn't.

I do not.

Let me first preface by saying I do NOT think my XD-M is junk; it's not. In close to 400 rounds, I have not had a single malfunction...not one. It's put together well, and is a solid firearm.

However...

First off, I think the trigger is...well...terrible. Long take up, breaks as crisp as a bowl of cold oatmeal, and excessive overtravel. This may be one of the things leading to what is my biggest problem with it...

At 7 yards, it shoots 6" to the left. Consistently. Great, tight groups...but 6" to the left. When I handed it off to another, very experienced shooter, he drilled the 10 ring with it. Repeatedly.

So, the sights aren't off. However, when I transitioned to a couple of different pistols (Glock 34, P7M8 ) in the same range session, I was dead on. Switch back to the XD-M, and 6" left.

So, it would seem the problem is in the XD-M/Cuda66 interface.

I suppose that if I put several hundred more rounds through it, I might get the hang of it. However, I have several other (well, all of my other) pistols that work great for me, and fail to see why I would want to do this...so, basically, it's become trading fodder.

So the trigger is light years a head of the factory trigger. I just hate that it cost so much to ship the gun,

Thanks,Keith
