Bought an XD-45 4" Service middle of September as a birthday present to myself. Currently waiting on arrival of my CCW. LOVE the XDs. 2 of my sons are currently in the military (a Marine and a Soldier) and have been talking up the purchase of a handgun for the past year or so. Both told me it's all personal taste/feel, so I went and rented a few different makes and found the XDs to feel the best to me. And the thumb safety was just an added plus over some other makes. Now that I've tested the water, so to speak, the Soldier has ordered one, and the Marine is about to.
Seen lots of suggestions as to holsters and such.
Looking for a good IWB (probably 2, one of each L-R) for mine with a laser sight on the rail.
For now, though, putting 100-200 rounds downrange about every other weekend to get proficient at hitting a 6" target at 7 yards, with the occasional 15 yards. Right now, using the FBI qual target with my 6" sticky targets. Averaging 90-90% in the center mass, but only about 50-60% in my 6" target. Should I go back to school (It's been 25+ years since I shot regularly and that was with a revolver) or is it just a matter of getting back on the bicycle and practice? Should I increase my numbers?
I know it's a lot of questions for a 1st timer, but I notice that y'all love to help us newbies. And I promise never to call the magazine a clip!!!:mrgreen:
