I've been researching what gun to buy for weeks now when I stumbled across this site. The XD sounded like the perfect gun for me so I decided to try one out. I knew I wanted .40 but the local range only had a 9mm to shoot.
The only 9mm I had shot in the past was a Glock 17. I expected the same experience--very jerky and rough. But instead the XD felt solid and smooth. I could tell immediately that the grip was in the style of the 1911, which I love so much.
So the gun felt great and that plus all your reviews was all I needed. I promptly bought a new XD 40 Tactical in stock there. Best part of all, I got it for only $440.
Now I just have to put up with this darn 10 day wait and I'll be on my way!
