GSXRBirch Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Springfield XD(M) 40, has anyone shot one or have one? I had a Glock 19 but wife got rid of it so I went out and bought a XD(M) 40 but have not got to go out to the range yet. I go sunday to take my ccw course and am just wondering how the gun shoots or if there is any flaws with it. I loved my Glock because it was indestructible. I hope the XD(M) is too. Springfield has a great rep because they have been around forever. well any input would be great, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f4isvt Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I had a springfield 9 and absolutley loved it. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. If it is good enough for the seals its good enough for me. Plus the brand new xd's are super nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 So far, I would have to say the 9mm XD is the nicest handgun I have fired, I'm sure the 40 is great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 my buddy has one. we shot it at my parents house in the back yard. nice gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat0403 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 My brother has two, the 4in and the 3in of the .40 and he loves them and so do I. I plan on getting the new one (XDM) here soon in the 4in barrel. He said the 3in is a good CCW but for all round quality the 4in is great. He has never had a problem with wither of them. I love the sights and the feel of the weapon. The M will give you a few new aspects such as replaceable and cusomizable grips and gives you i think 16 or 17 rounds over 14 in the original XD.

I love the grips on my XD(M) 40 over the ones on the XD. its a 16+1 round cap. and the 9 is a 19+1 round. it will be my carry piece, nice big round lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangBruhY Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I've fired them and the grip felt good, but I don't know if I could go with a GLOCK clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchmuckGirl Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I tested the Springfield 45 but it had a bit too much kick for me.... My sis tried the 9mil and we both loved it. That all probably doesn't answer your question at all, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSXRBirch Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thanks all for the feed back. i took my ccw course yesterday and fired my xd(m) 40 for the first time and it was great. sorry to say but in my opinion way better then my glock 19 9mm. the grips were awsome along with the shorter, lighter trigger pull plus 17 40 rounds, damn i want to go back out and play. i think my next will be the xd(m) 9mm. i was shocked how much recoil there was but i was use to the glock 9 i guess.

Pedro Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I have the XD 40 subcompact and i like it alot. It breaks down easily too for cleaning. It's a great gun. I wouldn't mind picking up a S&W M&P 40 or 9 cal gun at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangBruhY Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 It's hardly a 'Glock clone.' Plus' date=' it is easier on the eyes. Glocks are hideous.[/quote']Like Mike Tyson in his prime... Didn't look pretty, but got the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
