I've been looking at them for over a year, I fell in love with the kimber ultra carry during hunting season and decided that I needed a carry pistol again. I think the XD is a great piston for the money, and it seems to handle really well.

Well I picked up my pistol today and got my concealed pistol permit after only 3 days which suppressed me because they said 2 weeks+.

Well I just picked my new pistol up today also just waiting on the CWP which I am hoping comes soon.  Here is a picture of mine pretty much the same as yours.  Enjoy your new toy.

Nice is your a compact model? I have the full size with the 4" barrel and I still haven't shot the bang thing yet, tomorrow I will definitely get a few rounds though it.

It's official. I'm the only person in the U.S. who doesn't own an XD.


Nope, your not the only one who does not own a XD.  I also do not own a XD and I refuse to own one. 
First it is made of half plastic, second it does not have a exposed hammer, (I like the exposed hammers), third it marked made in Croatia the top half says Springfield USA, (I guess they could not make up their mined US or Croatia).  I do not care where the gun is made, I wish they would make up their mined.

I have shot the XD and they are good.  Call me old fashion, I will stick to my 1911's.
Progressives are coming for your guns. 
What are you going to do?

Well me, I do not have any guns, gave away or sold them 15 years ago.

Nah...  I don't either.  Well ok, I was actually going to get the XD45 Compact yersterday, when my car broke down. :dunno:  $70 Later I had a new battery.  Next payday I will take care of the XD...

Love my 4" XD, though I bought mine in 9mm. Took it out and shot an IDPA match with it the day after I got it, and did pretty well if I do say so myself. I've got about 750 rounds through it in 4 months, and I think about 10 different people have shot it... no FTFs, no FTEs, no problems at all. I couldn't believe how accurate it is. Oh, and it has killed one very large boar 'coon... took 13 rounds of Gold Dot 124 +P loads to stop him, maybe I should have gone with the .45!

I've got my eye on the XDm 9mm or 40 cal. The interchangable back strap is awesome for my big hands.

Seems to be a good value as well.

I have huge mitts too, so I thought the same. Untill I shot both the XDm and the standard XD... and found that I noticed no difference in accuracy or feel between the two. In fact, I liked the 4" service model XD better than the 5" XDm. If you want to shoot the standard XD in 9mm... and you're in the Seattle area, shoot me a PM... you're welcome to run a box of rounds through mine.
