So i've put maybe 500 more rounds through my springfield xd 40. I have to say with the videos and the great advice given here that my accuracy is def better. Hitting more and more targets. Also great help from some of those over at oak tree shooting range. Really help out a rookie. Now that my wife is interested, looking for a 9mm to start her off and we can take some classes together

Remember to dial 1 before 911.
Forget about stopping power. If you can't hit it, you can't stop it.

How about you sell your XD 40 and you both get 9mm. Then you have magazine and ammo consolidation.Comment

Once you get to a shooting range on a regular basis, make it a point to shoot the same drill at least once each time. It's hard to judge improvement without a consistent yardstick. Polymer small frame guns like the xd are great to introduce your lady to shooting. Heavy guns recoil less, but imo it's much harder to hold a heavy gun at arms length for new female shooters.Comment
