Mine is very accurate and easy to shoot. My first time out with it I kept all shots in one ragged hole with my carry ammo at 7 yards and it shot almost dead on for point of aim. That same day, I took it through a shoot house on a PD range and the officer I was with and I were both able to score near 100% shots on steel popper targets with it after the second run through with instinctive shooting. It pointed extremely well for both of us. Recoil is very manageable. It carries easily. It has not replaced my 1911 nor my J-frame for carry where I prefer those, but it is the first carry gun to be added to the permanent rotation in years.

I like mine, and carry it quite often. Too bad I am not in the Dallas area anymore or I would meet you at ASC and let you play with it.

Had no problem busting clay targets set out at about 12 - 15 yards. Recoil wasn't bad for somebody who has done a fair amount of shooting, about like a Baby Glock 40. Not a beginner's gun but I liked it.

In the test to select a certain unnamable unit's next service pistol, the XD only failed one test compared to the selected pistol.

And a significant number of users preferred the XD.

I know I do. The XD fits my hand better than the Glock, however your mileage may vary.

Oh, the test it didn't pass? Low temperature magazine release. As in -40F low temperature.

If that perameter is of no consequence to you, the XD will do whatever you need it to.

their recalled pistols to be returned. NONE complain about the guns. I think 2 have been returned because the owner traded them in for something that "fit his hand better." I don't think the recoil should be all that bad but some likely will.

I have the nine and think very highly of it. I have dumped my Sig 229 40 with the extra 357 barrel and now have the XDs and 226 in nine but I am thinking I might need a 45 also.

Good pointing qualities, plenty accurate and easier to shoot well than a G27. That said, I would probably take a G30s over it but I'm used to Glocks. If you want something different that XDs is a good 45.

…than I was. I hate the new trigger. It's not horrible, it just seems the "work/break" is more towards the rear now than it originally was, which causes me to pull shots to one side.

I've posted this before. The long wait it me waiting on an airplane (range is next to an airport) and the distance was closer to 60 yards.

They work well. I prefer them next tom a 12911 they are my personal favorite auto loader.
