Nice....very NICE.

[Guest Verbal Kint]

Nice.

Shot it yet? If so, how'd it do?

[bubbiesdad]

Picked her up yesterday. Put about 100 rounds through her today. Smooth. It won't take long to get used to her. A lot easier to handle than my chief spl.

I like the lable on the side of the case: NOT LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA

[Magiccarpetrides]

Nice piece of machinery even if she is striker fired

[Luckyforward]

It looks great!

Pardon my stupidity, but I do not recognize the weapon. What is it?

It looks to be a Springfield Armory XD9 4" Service Model.

[Luckyforward]

Duh . . . I are so smart. Thanks, TripleDigitRide

You made an excellent choice. I love my XD.

[bubbiesdad]

I hear that from everyone I talk to who has one.

[Luckyforward]

For those of you that own this gun, why did you choose it over the compact model w/3" barrel?

[bubbiesdad]

More accuracy.

I have fairly large hands, and compacts are far too small for me. I guess I could go with one that allows for a magazine extension, but IMHO, that just looks silly. A full size grip with a short barrel just doesn't look right to me.

The 4" is perfect for me.

Tell me about the 4" in terms of concealability . . .

[TripleDigitRide]

Tell me about the 4" in terms of concealability . . .

For me it's not difficult at all. Afterall, it is only an extra inch.

[Luckyforward]

Gotcha . . . just trying to get it in my mind.

Thats what she said

[Luckyforward]

Thats what she said

LMAO!

[Guest bkelm18]

Gotcha . . . just trying to get it in my mind.

However the grip is about an inch longer and the grip is the hardest part to conceal on any gun.

Can't carry in public yet, but went by and got an Uncle Mikes's IWB, less than $15 tax and all. Put in on with the XD, walked in the kitchen and asked my wife,"do you notice anything different?", held out my arms and turned around.

"Oh, you've lost some weight."

[Luckyforward]

You have a wonderful wife . . .

Hello little friend of Bubbiesdad. You look like a sweetheart. Be good to Bubbiesdad and I bet he takes good care of you. :rolleyes:

[Guest justaman30]

Great looking weapon. Hope you enjoy it very much.

[Guest Bronker]

Which Unlce Mikes did you get...just curious?

Love my XD 40 SubCompact. Easy to handle. Great luck with your quality weapon!!!
