...I'm a man of wealth and taste.
Hi all. I've been lurking these forums trying to find out as much info on the XD. I've learned a lot, and have a lot to learn. My birthday is coming up and I've been secretly hiding hints around the house for my wife to find, trying to get her to buy an XD for me.
As my name implies, I collect mostly WWII arms, long rifles to be exact. As far as modern weapons are concered I own a WASR-10 and a Yugo SKS. The only pistol I have is a CZ-52. This is not to say I'm not familiar with modern weapons being former Army and am currently a Corrections Officer. So I've had plenty of weapons training, and so many safety courses jammed into my head (yet it never ceases to amaze me that a person with 15 years in the DOC still acts as if they never been taught gun safety.)
I have a small delima. I want an XD 4 in. Service Model in .40. In talking with my friend, who has the 5 in. Tactical Model in .40, he asked me if I was sure I wanted the 4 in. I said yes, because I plan on using it as my CCW. I don't want the Subbie, to small for my hand, and any length I can take off the weapon helps with the conceal part. My friend is a Sheriff's Deputy for the county we live in, so he doesn't really have to worry about the conceal part. What do you guys think? Right now my CCW is the above mentioned CZ-52 (you can see why I want to upgrade.)
Thanks for any help.
