I have decided to purchase a SA XD Compact. I have a few questions though
..
Caliber: 9x19 or .40 S&W?? Ive shot the .40 and thought it had quite a snap to it. I would like my wife to be able to shoot this too, so I dont know if I want that much of a kick. Does the 9mm have a considerable less kick to justify giving up the extra power? I notice you pick of an extra round -- 10 rounds of 9mm are going to do just as much damage as 9 rounds of .40, right? LOL
Night sights: I read that the factory sights are a bitch to remove. I notice the website only shows the 9mm model with the night sights. Is this a mistake or can you only get them factory installed on the 9? How are those two-dot sights for day time compared to the standard three dot? I have 3-dot Trijicons on my Glock and theyre great day or night.
Does the factory still offer a free holster and magazine when you buy a new one? What's the fair market value for this combo?
Do you recommend the hard chrome slide to prevent rusting? This gun wont be subject to a lot of wear & tear so Im not sure if I need it.
Im sure you regulars get these same questions over and over again. Sorry, I was unable to find answers in the archives. Just a few stupid questions to begin with ..cant wait to get learn more and start contributing here.
Thank you in advance.
