They are pretty cool, I like the placement of the safety.
Don't like the early ones, the sights (especially the front) are very tall. If it's in a holster, it can make drawint it difficult as the sight would easily catch on the holster or clothing. There is a carry model that has shorter more traditional sights.
Only reason I dont get one is the ammo could stop production and oversea shipments & you'd be stck with a thousand dollar paperweight.
+1!I have mine, and love it. There are various threads on XDtalk dicussing the gun and round, etc.. Worthwhile reads on somet of them.
Can't tell from your post, have you seen this: AR57The same, I guess I would also need a 5.7 upper for an AR.
