I recently purchased my first handgun, the XD40 Service, and thought I'd do a mini range report. Approx 350 total rounds fired though it so far, no failures of any kind (sans my bad shooting
)
put on DecalGrip for a better grip
mag with speed loader (a great thumb saver)
the view!
My Texas CHL class is November 5th, so I have been practicing on the small targets. Today I finally did the 50 shot checkout test to see how I'd score. A 175 is passing, I scored 243 (max is 250) so it looks like that part will be easy to accomplish.
Texas CHL checkout is 20 shots @ 3 yards, 20 shots @ 7 yards and 10 shots @ 15 yards in a variety of firing groupings. All the 4 point hits (7 of them) are from 15 yards, the tightest grouping was at 3 yards rapid fire.
For some reason (maybe this is typical?) I tend to be more accurate in rapid fire groupings as opposed to 'starting from scratch' each time {there has to be a better term than that...}.
For grins, here is the 7 yard small target with a full mag rapid fire (well, as rapid as I can be at this early shooting stage, which isn't all that fast)
I love the XD40, it is a hoot to shoot (excuse the bad rhyme!)
