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.

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?
