Any of you have one? Shot one?
I'm thinking about a new "plastic" pistol to replace my Glock 17 and my Kimber is way too nice to pack around.
I've been looking at a .40 cal in either the service model or the tactical. I'm thinking the service would be easier to carry as it's a 4".
The prices are great on em and apparently they shoot every bit as good as the Glocks.
What do you guy's think?

edit- I did a search and read some info.... guess I shoulda done that first :-

 

I have a Springfield XD40 Service model and love it. Very accurate. If you did a search, you probably seen the link I posted comparing the XD to the Glock 17. All in all, the XD was equal if not better than the Glock 17. Get one, you will love it.


BTW: check out The Springfield XD Talk Forum at http://www.hs2000talk.com

 

Thanks Monty ;D

You have any problems with feeding hollow points?
Rust issues?
Also- what holster do you have for a C.C?

 

Great guns and a very good value. 8)

The only down side is avalibility, I've been looking for a 3" Sub Compact .40cal for 3 months and no one has them. Sprinfield says it's a customs problem and that they can't get the parts shipped into the country.

I good friend has a 4" .40cal and it shoots almost as good as my Kimber at 25 yards, once you step out to 50 yards there is no comparison but I do like the gun, it points really good and his will feed any thing he puts in it.

I have an XD40. The best shooting handgun I've ever had. Shoots better than the two Glocks I've owned...although I still have my 17. I just like the way the gun feels in my hands better than a Glock. I'm not the man to talk to about holslters though...I've only concealed this one in a fanny pack.

No problems with hollow points. Actually, no problems with any ammo. I've got about 1500 rounds through without a jam. For target practice, I shoot cheap Winchester ammo, but I've also shot 100 Federal Hydra Shok's through it without a problem. That's my personal defense ammo of choice since the local police and the sherriff both use it...figure I can't get in too much trouble that way.

 

My brother's got one - .40 and loves it....I believe its his favorite....not sure thou, .44 mag may be a close second... ;D

If you've been happy with your Glock, why not go with a Glock 22 or 23??

No feeding problems so far. Although I have only ran Hornady Hollows. The rest being FMJ's. I have seen only one spec of rust on my slide when I didnt wipe it down after use and let it set for a day or two. Wiped it right off and began using Militec-1 and have not had any problems since. If you want a free sample of the Militec..you can get it at http://www.militec.com

I have a Reily Gilmore Shoulder rig as well as a Tucker Gun Leather Texas Heritage IWB tuckable rig coming. I try to stay away from Kydex, I like leather better.

Mainly the cost- Glocks are way over priced I think. This pistol also has a grip safety, which I think is a great idea.

I ordered an XD .40 today- hopefully it's a shooter ;D
Thanks for the info guy's.
