~disclaimer~ Right now I have a wonderful buzz from good beer and better company. Any philosophical gun rambling should be taken with a grin and some common sense. But it still applies.

Yep. Was good kickin' back and drinking a few with you Ranger buddy. Next time hopefully we'll have a bonfire and a few others with us, and not have to get up for work at 0darkthirty afterwards. Hope the flight back was alrite bro.

'Jack over.

Flight was uneventful and reasonably on time. Yep, too bad Ford pussed out. Hopefully you've shamed him terribly for it

I haven't seen him yet since then. Though he has been working his ass off, that I can attest too.

I am considering a Springfield Armory XD .40 cal.

My amateur research indicates a lot of positive reviews. Any contrary opinions? What do the LEOs here think?

Thanks in advance.

I love Springfield! I hate a 40 cal though. Just my personal preference. I am just not a fan of the snappy recoil. Definitely a 9mm or .45 guy. I don't think you can go wrong with the pistol though if you are looking at 40 cal.

I have a buddy with the compact version and he absolutely loves it!

I have never fired an XD, can't help here Lefty.

I shoot some matches with an XDm in 45. I personally ~hate~ the factory trigger, but I am finicky in that department. Outside that, it is a great gun, never had any functional issues with any kind of ammo (ball, hollowpoint, wadcutter).

The warranty is rock solid, and they don't even try to kiss California's ass.

Got a few buddies that love the XD in all it's forms. I see these guys like the Glock crowd "It's a Glock it's awesome."

That being said XD's are a good shooter. I liked it anyway.

My wife has an M&P 9mm it is a good shooter and the adjustable backstrap is a good feature.

I've been carrying an XDm 9mm as a duty weapon for about 2 years now. I'm a big fan of it. The trigger sucks, but I've gotten used to it. It's more accurate than my Glock 22.

Looking at a Ruger SR40c. Any feedback?

My HK USP 45c is just a bit too big for everyday comfort, especially on the bike. (Awesome piece though)

XDs leave the shelf before they hit. The PX4 40 is interesting, just not a Beretta fan. I'd use a rock before a Glock.

Okay. The wife picked up an SR9c today. I really like it so far. Nice size, but not much smaller than my USP.

I found a shop stock full of XDs's, but the hell with retail prices and tax. Guess I will wait till JBLM gets another shipment.
