Gunner75 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I stopped in at my local gun shop this morning to see if they couldn't get me on a wait list for a new XDs .45. I did not have intentions of purchasing at that time. However before I even got it out of my mouth that I was willing to wait they told me they had one that came in that morning that wasn't spoken for. So I snatched it up as well as 100 rounds of .45acp pmc bronze and a 20 round box of Speer Gold Dolt JHP. Out the door was about average from what im told at 584. I know some other places have them cheaper, but it doesn't bother me to support my local gun store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner75 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I already had an XD9 prior to this and loved it. I bought this on a whim, and seeing how my XD9 is at the gunsmith for the foreseeable future i needed a sidearm for CCW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jch82 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Ive got bigger hands so I will definitely have to have some extended magsI love the feel of my XD with the extended mag grip sleeve. Normal mag will only get me a 2 finger hold. I saw a few different grip extensions you can get for the normal mag. I thought about picking up the http://www.amazon.com/Pearce-Springfield-Armory-XD-Extension/dp/B000J4JI14/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360510847&sr=8-1&keywords=springfield+xd+9+subcompact+magazine to add a little length.

Gunner75 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I will probably get a couple of PG grip extenstions to hold me over on the mags. The only drawback that I can see on the gun is that the stock mags only hold 5 rounds. but thats remedied with a 7 rounder with sleeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
