I am looking to get a new carry weapon. I am looking for an autoloader in 40sw. I am looking for something that is thin and compact. I have an XD40 service now and it is just way to big. I have tried several holsters including the Crossbreed Supertuck and still havent found it comfortable to carry. Im looking for 40sw because I have plenty of carry ammo for it. Looking foward to see what you all recommend.

Not enough details. A round butt Taurus or S&W meets the thin and compact requirement. For most folks, there isn't a more comfortable and concealable firearm in a decent power range on the market. For an autoloader I would suggest a Glock 26 or 27.
The first rule of winning a gunfight is to have a gun. The second rule is to have a backup plan. |

Based on your current selection of an XD, I would assume you aren't a Glock man. Also I don't think you want to break the bank with a well tuned 1911, or even a stock Sig or H&K. Seems you like bang for the buck but need a reliable carry gun, in .40, lightweight, decent round count and good accuracy. Weapons to consider:
H&K P2000 - Too expensive H&K USPc - Too expensive Glock 23 - Probably not your style based on current weapon selection (but a good choice) Commander 1911 - Too expensive Walther P99 (regular or compact you decide) in .40 with the AS trigger - PERFECT for you. Try one out and if you don't love it I'll buy you a beer. |

http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo220/cashbailey_photos/WaltherPPS.jpg ETA Very thin, very compact. That gun felt very goofy to me in the store and the mag release felt very flimsy. The price tag seemed a bit high. I would stick with a Kahr i carry a Cw9 great carry gun. |

xd subcompact? I am looking for one of these right now. I have a glock 26, love it for a OWB, but want the few extra safeties the XD has for a IWB carry (want to keep all of my parts lol) Quoted:
http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo220/cashbailey_photos/WaltherPPS.jpg ETA Very thin, very compact. I have gotten spoiled by all of the features my other Walthers have, Cocked indicator, Decoker, Round in the chamer indicator... This one does not have all of those, and while I really love the ambidextrous release of the Walther, I did not like that one.. felt odd. |

This one does not have all of those, and while I really love the ambidextrous release of the Walther, I did not like that one.. felt odd. I got a PPS in 40. The PPS does have a cocked ind, and a round in the chamber ind. It kinda has a decocker, by dropping the mag and releasing the backstrap it decocks. It has taken me a little time to get used to the mag release. The best thing is how thin this thing is. That and the various mag floor plates make this a very carriable gun. I was also supprised by how accurate and how well this gun tames recoil. I have to figure the 9mm would even be better. If you really want a thin 40 ccw I would strongly suggest the PPS
