Default Bought my first springfield XDm!

Well i picked up my first handgun the other day, its a Springfield XDm .40 and i love it. Im gonna take it out today after i get off work and put some round through it. I have read nothing but good reviews on this gun and am sure i will love it. Any other members own a XD? I wanna know what you guys think about them!

I have a XD subcompact 9mm. I love it. I haven't had any problems with it. Heck I think my wife likes it more than I do.

I have an XD40 sitting out in the console of my car right now. Very comfortable gun, mine is a little front heavy with the flashlight and laser but that is just for reasons. My dad has the smaller XD40 and carries it but hasn't had a chance to put any rounds through it.

I know that Springfield has a rebate after the purchase of a XD or XDm where you get 2 extra mags and a holder.

I love my XDm .45. The only thing I wasn't happy with were the grips. But some grip tape solved that issue.

Damn thing will fire anything I put through it... even my crappy first attempt at hand loads.

Well I just got back from shooting it and I must say it is amazing! I love how smooth it shoots and very easy to aim. I had read on the website about the free mags and that is my next step lol.

I have the 40cal and the wife has a 9mm. They are some nice guns. I like the trigger feel.

i've had my XD .40 SC for about a year now with ~300 rounds thru it and i LOVE it!! i can shoot x ring @15 yards very consistent.. they shoot true and smooth, plus break down and cleaning is a breeze.

My XD40SC, shot a few hundred rounds through it. Found out it HATES Remington UMC ammo. Loves Federal Champion from walmart, and eats WWB pretty good.

Mine looks just like that (except you have a nicer laser/light combo). Did you use white crayon or paint to fill in your letter?
