Xd40

One of my buddies has the XD40 and loves it. No issues so far, but he hasn't owned it that long yet, prolly a good 1000+ rounds at least though with no hiccups.

Something else to consider, Springfield just released a new version of the XDm with a 3.8" barrel instead of the standard 4.5" barrel. Price is sposed to same as standard XDm. The 9mm is out right now with the .40 version out any day now.

I should also add that I own an XDm 9mm, XD9SC, and XD45C. Yet I've always like the feel and balance of my buddy's XD40, I'm just not a fan of .40 in general and don't own any. But after going to Wade's Sunday with another buddy looking to buy a handgun, he rented the XD9 and I really liked it a lot. So much that I'm having a hard time not buying one to add to the collection. I really like my XDm a lot and shoot well with it, but for a nighstand/house gun I really want a Crimson Trace laser grip for it, and they don't make them for the XDm, but they do for the XD. I'm pondering trading my S&W 642 .38 snubby that pretty much collects dust since I got my Ruger LCP to buy the XD9.

I have an XD40 OD Green 5"

Fantastic sidearm! Since purchasing the XD my Kimber ProCarry remains in it's .22lr conversion status.. (I'm sure someone is going to **** a brick about this comment but there is a good explanation.)

I have zero complaints about the XD. If a person is comfortable with a full frame and has no objections to a composite frame then I suggest purchasing the XD.
