Title: XD-9
Post by: Reaver on August 07, 2012, 09:18:28 PM: Springfield Armory XD9 V10 Review (Ported Awesomeness) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPCvqW6zRAY#ws)

My first impressions of the XD-9 where not good. I didn't like it at all. Felt like an inbred 1911 that was raped by a Glock. Just felt odd and I didn't like it much.

But, its on my list of firearms to carry for my new job, and my local shop is offering me the full kit box papers three mags for $500
I'm seriously thinking about taking it.
Can you guys give me your FIRST HAND Experience?
Thanks guys. [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

Post by: Reaver on August 07, 2012, 09:49:03 PM: Sig, Beretta, XD, Taurus 92, CZ P01, H&K & 38 revolvers.

Keep in mind guys, this is partially just an excuse to purchase another firearm. :))

I would get a glock or a M&P.

Also, who needs a grip AND a trigger safety?

This isnt for personal use. Its for the job.
They wont let me carry a glock or m&p if they did I wouldnt be having this conversation. =(
