Hello, I am a newbie to the XD world but I am SOLD on buying one after handling one several times and reading threads on this forum.
My question is which one? 40 service or 9mm service?
I thought I wanted a .40 unitl I started reading posts about price of 40 ammo vs 9mm. I plan on shooting alot and thought why not just get a XD-9 then. Then I read the threads about 9mm barrels in 40's. But, why not just get a 9mm then. It doesnt make sense to shoot hundreds/thousands of rounds of 9mm, to then switch to 40 caliper for home defense when I wouldnt be familiar with the 40 ammo's recoil,etc.
Am I making this harder than it should be or should I just pay the extra price of 40 ammo and have the extra power?
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Jay
