Yeah even though it's smaller than a glock sub it is a little heavier, but compared to my 1911 that I usually carry it's a blessing.

Re: Sprinfield XD-40 review and range report

Been using my uncle mike's holster for my 1911. It works even though the barrel room on it obviously is too long. I'll get another one specifically for it tommorrow. Them things are comfy!

Re: Sprinfield XD-40 review and range report

Yep I picked 5 boxes of federal target ammo tonight. They had plenty more and it was less than 14 a box! Far cry from gander mtn. charging over 30 a box

Re: Sprinfield XD-40 review and range report

All 40's are snappy.

But I had no trouble at all keeping on target and having quick follow up shots. My double taps were lightning quick because the gun stayed on target really good.

Sprinfield XD-40 review and range report

Got a new sub-compact yesterday because I was tired of the 1911, and the Sig is suffering some reliability problems. Figured some of you might like a little review before you spent some hard earned money.

I like the trigger more than a Glock because it just seems a little smoother and less travel. The sights are the perfect combination of having enough space for quick aquisition and narrow enough for acccuracy. The small mag holds 9 round and the extended holds 12. I shot the target anywhere from 5 yards all the way back to 20. As you can see accuracy didn't suffer because of short barrel. It's a little heavier than the Glock 27 but it's actually smaller overall. I know the shots are above the 10 ring but I shoot instinctively for the chest area so son't worry about impact. Double taps were smooth and the two holes were really close demonstrating excellent recovery. I had no problems carrrying it today and would reccomend it. :thumbs2:
