New XD

[tnroadrunner]

Well got my XD 9 Service last night. Hope to try it today. Want to use it in IDPA tomorrow if my current holster will hold the pistol. Otherwise I will have to use my Tactical. The holster that came with it is of course a RH and I'm LH.

Congrats on a fine weapon. If yours was one of the newer ones with the melonite finish, you should be good to go. Otherwise, they look great in NP3.

Make sure to send it to Scott at Springer Precision to have a trigger job done. He'll get it back to you in 2 days most of the time. Great gun. I love mine.

Took it to the range yesterday and shot great. I think it shoots better than my 5".

Yeah but the safety is ambidexterous. Since I wasn't blessed with long fingers and thumbs I drop the spent mag with the social finger of my trigger hand while bringing the fresh one up into the magazine well with the other. I can pass 'em in mid air so it speads up my reloads. I absolutely love mine (I have two of 'em- no remarks about widows and how I get my guns there Shadow12).

I love my XD's I traded for a 45 XD service around March and now I have 4 of them.

Yes Phantom6 the mag release is ambidexterous and I use the thumb on LH to release mag, since I'm a lefty.

I am not surprised – I got mine a couple of days before an ADPA and shot a 20 out of 20 on the last round first time out – great gun

I have shot an XD at the range, but never owned one. I really like them and am sure you'll enjoy yours.
