I picked up a new XD 40SW sub compact last week. I had been carrying the XD 9mm sub compact and wanted a little heavier caliber. Since I own only XD's I could compare it to the others I own.
I found it was stiffer than the other NIB XD's and am not sure why.
After putting 500 + rounds through it the accuracy is no better or no worse than my others and there were no misfires or jambs.
The .40 sub does have significantly more kick than the 9mm sub and the 40 service model. So if anyone has a history of the "limp wrist syndrome" it might not be the best choice.
It was definitely heavier to carry than the 9mm even though they both look pretty much the same. When I get some time I'll weigh them empty.
The 40SW sub mag lists only nine rounds but I found you can actually get 10. With the extended mag it's 12 rounds.
I do like the feel and weight of the gun but then I'm partial to XD's, and will probably use it as my primary CC gun. It hides just as well as my 9mm and I use the same Blade-Tech holster for all of my XD's (the .45apc is the exception)
