9mm Pistol - Springfield Armory XD
 

Took my wife out to the range yesterday.

She wants a 9mm pistol. So we rented a couple that fit her hands, etc. and fired a couple of boxes through them.

We both liked the Springfield Armory XD.

Any input from ya'll about these firearms, either positive or negative is appreciated. FWIW: They had the XDM model in stock as well, but not as a rental option. So we only fired the XD.

Hi Blorp, My hubby has the XDM 40, He loves this gun.....I have fired it and also like it very much....I like the adjustable backstrap , I have a small hand ,this makes it fit my hand perfect....I,m trying to talk hubby into getting me the XDM 9mm......Maybe he will read this...MissKitty

I LOVE my XD45. I also like the fit and feel of the XDM9, but haven't fired one.

I'm not a big 9mm fan, but I'm considering buying a pistol in 9mm to practice and have around. Who knows...it could get the point that the ONLY ammo you can find is 9mm???

Anyway, I'm considering either a Springfield XDM9 or a Ruger SR9.

Has anyone tried the Ruger?

The XD is a fine pistol that will serve you well if you decide on buying it.

I was going to buy the XDM but went with the SR9 and think it is a very nice pistol (especially for the price). Very smooth, tough, quick shooting, nice ergonomics, well constructed, etc. I'm very happy with it.

I have an XD9 Tactical.

Never jams (on WWB).

I can take out a small milk jug at 100 yds with it. That's good enough for me.

I highly recommend this pistol.

I have a couple xd 9mm tacticals. Only problem I've ever had with them was a bad batch of S&B ammo. I had about 20 failures to extract out of 500 rounds. I'm currently in the market for a subcompact w/ night sights for concealed carry.

Appreciate the responses.

One way to get a wide review of any firearm from actual owners is to GOOGLE the make and model of the one you are interested in, and follow the links to various discussion boards.

I too am interested in the XD in 9mm for my kid brother. He is a neophyte when it comes to guns and unfortunately is scared of the Glock trigger. I have dry-fired a few XDs and I think he might be able to shoot it better. Also looking at a Beretta 92FS/M9...

Love mine. Just remember, they are "combat" as opposed to "target" pistols. They are made to put a bullet COM of a mansized target under the worst physical, physiological and psychological conditions everytime the trigger is pulled rather than chew out the red circle of a paper target at a range.

If you can accept that, you'll love them too!

They look interesting....but made in Croatia?.....will you be able to get it serviced long term? I like all guns.....got a crap load....

In my mind why deviate from the Glock if you want a plastic framed fighting pistol? Glocks are probably the #1 fighting pistol in the world. Parts forever.
