Looks like soon enough you'll be able to use those lil teeny numbers themselves - the 7s, 8s and 9s - as aiming points; the X-ring is getting far too easy for ya

This was concentrating pretty hard... I have the dang habit of pulling to the left when shooting.

Thanks for meeting me out in the middle of nowhere sir, I am extremely happy with the 3.3. Took it to the range today and it performed like a champ... 400 rounds and not a single problem. The slide failed to lock back a couple times but that was due to me resting my thumb on the slide lock, so all in all the gun performed perfectly. I am 100% happy with it.
This was 10 shots from 5 yards, 30 from 7 yards and the final 10 from 10 yards. You can tell the 10 yard ones as they are the worst lol. All in all this gun is more accurate than I am so it is awesome!

That looks familiar! It is an extremely accurate gun! Glad you are pleased with everything. When I actually get time to get to the range, I'll see if I can do the same with yours!

I'm pretty sure you will like how the 4.0 shoots. I carry a Shield and have shot a lot of rounds the past 16 months. I picked up a XDs 4.0 primarily for the slightly longer sight line and the 1st time I shot it I was shooting as well if not slightly better than with the shield. The other thing I like about the 4.0 is that I can use the flush fitting magazine and still have the control that I do with the extended mag on the Shield. The little extra barrel length seems to make quite a difference in "flip"
