Any XD-40 owners out there?

I’m looking for info on Springfields XD line…thinking maybe the .45 when it’s released.

Brian, I work for a police department that just recently allowed us to upgrade from 9mm to 40 or 45. Our academy did a lot of research and the Springfield XD is now one of our authorized duty weapons. I shot the XD 40, but decided to stay with my Glock. Other guys went with the Springfield. Just what I’m used to I guess.

Which Glock are you using…the 19?

Yes, I still carry the 19, haven’t shelled out the money to go to the 40 or 45, but the Glock 21 is the best shooting pistol I’ve ever used.

I have to run…hope this isn’t a dumb question…but why don’t you carry the 21?

I work in detectives now and the 21 would be hard to conceal for some of the work I do.

Gunn of the year last year.
I have had one for 4 years now. Used to carry it for my PT jobs.
Some comments from the PD that tried it out was that it was smoother that thier glocks and they liked the added grip safety and the chambered indicator. Some were iffy on the Cocked indicator. Some worried about what if it was dropped.
But not enough to say that they would never use one.
Have had nothing but good shooting with it. In fact shot a 96% the second time shooting the gun on the FBI qualification course.
Love mine.
If your close maybe we could meet and you could try mine out.

The XD .45 compact will be my next gun when it is available. I like the bark and feel of the .40 and .45’s. I shot 1911’s competetively for a lot of years. Carrying them is a biatch. I was an MP for 10 years. My Kahr PM 40 is totally concealable. And at .40, I have no power envy! I want one more for shooting than carrying. My Kahr is my CC baby!
