I've read this is a limited time only.  I have an opportunity to get one for $400 shipped and have been thinking about getting a decent and reliable 9mm as a range sidearm, nothing too serious and not for concealed carry.  What are your thoughts?  Is the Essentials thing going to be around for a while?

I love my XD9.  SPring for the night sights though.  The model you want is the XD9104.  It comes with Trij night sites, holster, mag holster and mag loader in addition to everything the essentials pkg comes with and is not that much more.

Link shows $534 which is a lot more than the $400 Essential package.  Night sights would be nice, but I woulnd't be using in dark.  Of the other things, the holster would be the only usefull thing, but there are many aftermarket options.  I wish I had a larger budget, then I would probably just go for an XDm.  Oh well.  At $400, the Essential is very enticing...

Well, broke down and ordered the XD9 Essentials Package.  Will be right around $400 when it's all said and done.  

Now it's wait wait wait until it gets to my FFL.

Thanks.  My first striker-fired handgun.  Might look into getting aftermarket tritium sights if I end up liking the XD enough to use it for home defense.

You will like it enough to use for home defense and more. I have an XD45 Service model and XDm9 and will be picking up an XDs soon. I carry both of the current pistols all the time with no issues in a CrossBreed Supertuck.

Yeah I remember seeing similar sales on Labor Day and I was very tempted.  Oh well, still a decent deal for a good handgun.  Mine should be at the FFL tomorrow.
