Howdy Folks; new, left handed (two strikes already) shooter that is trying to find a single gun that will serve my immediate interests;
1. A lefty friendly gun that is as accurate as possible for the money
2. Lots of practice shooting at indoor and outdoor ranges
3. Will serve as a starter gun for silhouette, 50 yd slow fire and Practical
The XD fits my hand, the mag release is easy enough, I'm hoping the 5" barrel will buy me some accuracy and it's less expensive than the P99 or PX4 Storm, both ambi-lefty friendly guns.
My two concerns, from my limited internet research, is the XD trigger and accuracy. Not really knowing what I will want in a trigger as I move into competitive shooting, I'm at a loss but understand mods can be made. I've also read that the XD is a fine for service level accuracy but I'm not sure how that plays as I move into intro practical and other competition.
Because I haven't invested yet, I'd rather spend another few hundred to get the best overall fit without going to a full blown $1,000+ competition gun.
What say you about the XD Tactical as a starter gun for my learning curve and intro competitive desires?
Thanks,
