Hi all, after about of a month of research, comparison shopping, and hand-wringing, I decided on an XD-40. This site helped a great deal, btw.
This week I got the XD-40 with the 3 12-rd. mags/holster package and am picking up 3 or 4 different brands of ammo for a trip to the range this weekend.
I noticed the rear sight is a good 25% off-center axis to the left and the front sight is about 10% to the left of being centered. They are not loose. I was wondering if the factory set them to the left on purpose based on feedback that many shooters tend to shoot left out of the box. ? I'm not one for 'conspiracy theories', lol, just thought this might be something new.
Seems like a great pistol, the quality is certainly there, out of the dozen or so autos I've owned over the years, this XD has the tightest slide/frame fit.
I'm having a bit of "caliber remorse" after going with the .40 cal vs. the XD-9 but that's for another thread...
Nice forum, here. Thanks guys.
