XD wanted, need help!

[mxbundy]

Hey guys,

Was in Pittsburg for the Thursday Steelers game ( stupid *** kicker ) but that's another topic! But I got to go to the range with a family member and got to handle his XDm 9mm.
What an awesome piece! Loved it!
Came home and looking around and I see they are verboten in CA.
Damn this place, and all I could find for sale are 4 inch XD `s .
I can live with a regular XD but are the 5 inch barrels a no-no also?

I just looked at the roster and there are several 5"xds on there. I prefer the tactical myself is a sweet shooter.

I have a tactical 9mm. Great gun.

Define a little more on family member, and see if you qualify for intra-family transfer, no reason not to take that option since they also seem to be 2A friendly.

If not, these XD 9mm are still on roster:
XD9131 / Polymer, Steel Pistol 5.01" 9mm
XD9401 / Polymer, Steel Pistol 5.01" 9mm
XD9404 / Polymer, Steel Pistol 5.01" 9mm
XD9411 / Polymer, Steel Pistol 5.01" 9mm

If you can not find one locally, try: https://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/default.aspx
I do see a couple of 5" 9mm in stock.

XD are good, XD+PRP rocks!

yes XD 5 inch tactical is available in California in 9mm 40sw and 45 acp...its a very different gun, but 300 less...the XDM comes with a match grade barrel, trigger and adjustable sights

In general, XD is CA legal and on roster. XDM & XDs are not on roster thus hard to get unless LEO or through PPT.

I really like the XD. Shot a 4" (carry) & 5" (tactical) .45 at the range and both fit my hand better compared to my Glock 17 although I found the grips a little more slippery as well. I'm looking for a cheap, reliable polymer in 9mm and am looking at the XD and the SD9VE.

Try the trigger out on the SD9VE before buying or maybe plan to replace it.
Friend has one, even he does not like it, but he wanted a 9mm cheap for HD.
