I have been looking for a 9mm pistol to replace the Beretta 92FS I traded away just before the madness started. Originally I was looking for a Glock 19, but they have become scarce as hens teeth around here.
I was in my LGS last Sunday and a guy came in asking if the store buys guns. No one at the counter had the authority to say yes, so I piped up and asked what he was selling. Turns out he had a new-never fired or had a round chambered Springfield XD9. Came in the box with the essentials pack (not really much there, cleaning brush, lock and two magazines) + two extra magazines and 30 rounds of some kind of Federal hollowpoints, for $500.
I didn't know very much about the XD line of pistols, but the price seemed reasonable for a new gun so I bought it. It really is new and it doesn't even look as though the slide has been cycled very much.
The dreaded ten day wait is up on the 28th so all I can do until then is look at the pictures I took.
This is not a "how did I do?" post, I have done some post purchase research, and it seems that they are well thought of so I am happy with the deal. I just thought I'd share my experience with everyone and show that there are still deals to be had.
