What to Expect?

Well finally was able to pick up my firearm today (Christmas present from the wife) after the 3 day wait period here in FL. I'm heading to the range tomorrow w/ my son to give it hell. I have never shot this pistol before and picked the SA-XD on the fact it fit my hand like a glove. Tried other pistols but this one felt the best.

So just wondering what can I expect tomorrow at the range?

"Gun-Free Zones" are shooting ranges for the criminally insane.

Yep, lots of bang, bang, bang and some smiles!

Depends on how much shooting you have done before with any other handgun. It isn't that much different, it isn't magic, its simply a well made handgun that will hit where you point it. If you can't a im and pull the trigger correctly, it will not be accurate.

Don't expect 2" groups at 20 yards (60 feet). Shoot at 7 yards or 10 yards first and get a feel of how it points.

Expect to have a lot of fun, I love mine, some days are better then others for accuracy, but I ALWAYS have fun, these things are just plain great to shoot, they feel good in the hand, so they feel good when you pull the trigger!!
