What are your thoughts on the Springfield XD XD9810HCSP06 sub compact 9mm? I am torn between purchasing one of these or a Glock 19 as a Xmas present to myself . I would go with a .40, BUT, that will get expensive on the ammunition side since I already purchase 9mm and .45 ACP 500 to 1,000 rounds at a time. Throw in the .40, and my wife will probably divorce me Regarding the XD series, the only one that I have experience with is the full sized .45 ACP. I had a chance to compare one recently to my Glock 21, and I must say I was impressed with the Springfield XD. Picking the XD up for the first time, I was able to hit where I wanted to, whereas with the Glock, it took some additional training because the first time I ever shot one (a 17 that I owned in 1993), I hit way low. I was just wondering what your experiences were with the sub compact 9mm from Springfield. |

I have a sub 9 and must say that I love it, I switched from sub compact SA 1911 and don't miss it to much for a carry piece I get a lot more ammo for a better price and all the extras they give you holster and mag carrier and extra clip for High cap is a nice touch. I got the henie night sites and they seem to be fine but get the pierce grip extention for 9 it will save you! |
Well, I feel bad because I elected to go the Glock route, yet again. I purchased a G19 and will more than likely purchase a G26 in January or February. The one thing that bugs me about the XD series is that it is too new. I know it has been out for a while and it seems to be catching on like wildfire BUT I just could not bring myself to jump on the XD bandwagon.... YET

If you ordered a subcompact, then no, it won't fit. If you ordered the service or tactical, then yes, it will. |
