Looking at a xd 9mm for first time CC any suggestions?

[Guest xd9sc]

I recently took the class and got my hcp, I'm ready to start carrying. Currently I own a DOA S&W 9mm but i'm not completely comfortable carrying it yet, No safety...kinda heavy. I've been looking at a Springfield XD 9mm sub compact, I like the grip safety and USA trigger and would love to hear from some people that carry one. Since I have'nt purchased it yet I'm open to other suggestions too. Thanks in advance for your suggestions

It's my Numero Uno. Highly recommended.

Thats a TT Gunleather it's wearing.

I hope it works out for ya, what with your selection for user name and all ...

I'm definitely going to buy one, just may not be the next gun i purchase if I don't plan on carrying it full time. how do you like that TT?

Love it, and that's really saying something since I went from a Bullard Dual Carry first, which was also quite a holster.

Regrettably, I've had to drop back to a Kahr in the pocket some lately, because of a NPE where I have to change clothes.

Its my EDC as well and I have no complaints

i have an XD 40 SC and I have grown to enjoy it more than my Glocks. It's more accurate and just as reliable. I don't carry it as often but it's the gun that sits beside me at night.

XDsc .40 in a CompTac Minotaur is my EDC. Good choice.

+1 for plastic guns glock or xds

Maybe consider the M&Ps as well.

I'm a fan of the xdsc, but have you checked out the Ruger Sr9c? Really has a great feel to it, and the trigger is awesome.

I carry a Beretta Px4 and love it, even it is a full size pistol it's not that heavy and hides well under a shirt. Best of all it shoots very well and very straight.

Have not shot one of those yet, anywhere in nashville that you can rent one?

[Oh Shoot]

XD9sc has one big advantage over all the comparably sized models that I know of: 13+1 rounds in the flush mag. It's sort of like magic how it holds them all.

I'm with OS on this one, the subbie is my favorite......the first pix is with a little customizing, the second is with my Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster. I highly recommend both these to anyone.......plus, the XD9 4" service model will fit this holster as well.

The XD doesn't have a safety either and unlike the DAO trigger of the Smith, the XD has what I would describe as a trigger pull similar to a single action.

the xd's have the grip safety so unless unless that plus the trigger safety are both engaged then no bangy. I would say technically the xd does have a safety, just not like a 1911......JMO

I just needed a little more motivation to go get an xd, you guys have provided it! Anyone seen any great deals on them around the nashville area?

[trblmkr13]

I got mine at Guns and Leather and they seemed to have the best price this time last year

I bet the guys at D&T Arms could give you a good deal on one if they carry them. They are a vendor here on TGO.

and don't forget, if you buy a new XD before Dec. 31st you get 3 free magazines!

check budsgunshop before you buy that way you have a price to go by. it is cheaper to pay $30 transfer fee than sales tax on a $500 gun

[xRUSTYx]

buds has the XD9SC Essential Package for $445 shipped. Get it transferred at D&T Arms ($10 transfer + $10 TICS) and you are looking at $465 TOTAL for a brand new XD9SC ...

Essential Package has no xd gear ... but then again, not sure anyone actually uses the XD gear. Gun + Box + Mags is all ya need.

It's a little hard to hide in the summer but it's the best gun BY FAR I've ever owned. Most of the time I just stick it in a blackhawk holster and let the world see it. Nobody cares. I have a 3AT if I want to hide a gun on me but that's really never needed.

[Guest ForPointSix]

Maybe consider the M&Ps as well.

I have a M&P 9c and it is a great EDC gun!! Every so often I will carry a LCR, but that is very very rare. The M&P 9c is with me 99% of the time when I am out of the house!!

I'm a fan of the xdsc, but have you checked out the Ruger Sr9c? Really has a great feel to it, and the trigger is awesome.

I also have the SR9c, and am a little disappointed. Unlike my M&P 9c, the SR9c will NOT feed hollowpoints. Also the SR9c has a ambi mag release that makes finding IWB holsters almost impossible, unless you order online. To some that may not be a problem but I like to see what I am buying before I put my $ out there.

If you get an XD9 subcompact then consider getting Pearce Grip Extensions. For another $10 plus shipping you turn a pretty good gun into an even better one. It will fit a lot more comfortably in your hand and conceal just as well. I love my XD, it is my primary carry pistol.
