What would you guys recommend in either a 9mm or .40 S&W below $400? I like all of the safety features the XD has and also the capacity.
Do you think I could find one maybe at a pawn shop for $400 or less? If not, bring on your input.
Thanks,

I currently have a SA XD-40, it has never let me done for anything. I also have delt a little with SA coustmer service, in which not only did they have what I was looking for but sent it to me free. This summer I am planing to get the SA XD-9 SC as a result of all this. If you can increase your budget to about $500, and shop at the privete local shops you should be able to pick one up. Stay away from the chain stores, they are generally a lot higher then the smaller stores. If you are in the houston area a few good places to start are tomball pawn, conroe shooting center, and Spring guns and Ammo.
