XD 40 Range Report
Hey guys, I have a write up on the XD 40 for any of you considering buying one of these guns.
http://glog-blog.com/2010/11/04/xd-40-range-report/ I hope this range report helps some of you considering whether or not to take the plunge with this gun. Anyone else have any similar or different experiences than mine with this gun?

I really enjoy my 5" and SC.
Ergo's are great for me, but I understand what you mean about thumbs forward. The take up issue has been taken care of by a couple of methods. http://www.canyoncreekcustom.com/Work_Order_Pages.html http://www.pistolgear.com/proddetail...d=PRP-042-9-40

Love my 4" XD .40 but I did have similar issues with the smaller grip. Never anything that effected me that much but I picked up a Pacymer slip on grip and that alone makes the gun feel soo much better and fit my hand better. I never did like the ergonomics of the Glock. It just never felt right to me.

That's cool. I'm not a fan of Springfield's holsters and mag pouches though. If they had a discount coupon for a holster I really wanted then I'd give them theirs back.

It's interesting that you mention the grip safety. I did not understand how that would make the weapon more safe until learning that the Spriggy is fully cocked when carrying whereas the Glock's are only cocked halfway. With the Glock the trigger motion completes cocking the striker.

Thanks for the write up. I love my xd40 also. The grips are just fine for me, I guess I have big hands or maybe I'm use to it as I love my 92FS also and I'm able to grip it just fine.
After some consideration, as much as I like the xd40 I'm going to sell it and get an xd9 instead. I've decided to streamline the amount of ammo I want to stock to only a few calibers and after some consideration the 40 cal is going. 9mm is really cheap to shoot and I can't see myself letting go of my 1911 so the 45acp has to stay too.

Hey, I was working with a co-worker today on our thanksgiving potluck sign-up sheet. She and I had to look on google to double-check the spelling of: Desert-a dry place with little to no water...and... Dessert- a after meal treat or pastry |

You only missed it by one letter. I was on a totally different word.

Definitely different experience for me. I shoot with a thumbs forward and support hand thumb on the frame and it was a pleasure for me to shoot the XD-40 Tactical. which has the same frame as yours.
Also I am used to single action semi auto shooting, particularly my Sig P229 .40, and a couple of 1911 rentals and transitioning to the XD trigger was nothing short of a pleasure. |
