High Velocity,
Your fun hasn't even begun yet...I know that fondling the SC and gazing at it just sitting there is frustrating but wait till you really shoot it. It is a great gun. I love both of my XDs. My other weapons are just sitting now all cleaned up and no place to go. The Xds just happen to always be in the shooting bag and go to yhje range. They are a gas to shoot.
The other guys are right, look through the forum sponsors for their great stuff. and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.
And by the way, don't take any of the comments that you may receive as a noobie personally. It's all in fun but there is a lot of knowledge about the XDs on this forum and the guys are all great and can answer just about any question that you have.
Welcome and buy lots of ammo (you'll need it)
Rikoshey :twisted:
