My oldest son was down this weekend, taking his brother for a day out before the younger son leaves for the Army. He brought along his new Springfield (fullsize) XD 9mm, for us to look over while they were gone. My wife was quite taken with it, and found the handling and trigger reach/action better than our Sig 220. Peggi cut her teeth on my old WW II 1911s and she positively prefers the short-trigger actions. She is a good shot and the can handle the recoil from anything up to & including 210 grain .44 mags.
After some discussion she has settled on the XD Subcompact in .40 S&W, and I expect I will be ordering one- barring any negative reports from those of you who have owned and/or fired one extensively. I'm gonna wait a day and see what y'all have to say about them. I'd also be interested in accounts of reliability/accuracy from the subcompact XD-9.
So fire away... and thank you in advance.
