New Addition to the Family (XD-9sc 3") w/ Pics

[StrikeFire83]

Hi there, everyone.

I just made a new addition to the family, a brand spankin' new XD-9sc!



I detailed my search for a double stack sub-compact 9mm in the thread blow. The short list was a S&W M&P9c, Glock 26, and the XD.

I ended up trading away my Kel-Tec P3AT and S&W 638 towards this gun, and I'm glad to have a piece that I'll actually shoot now. I went with a local guy who had it for a good price $489.

So how'd I do?

Nice looking piece you got yourself! congrats!

Now just tell us how she shoots

Going to try and make it to the range this evening. So I'll let y'all know.

Nice!!

You didn't happen to handle the XD-M in sub compact? Just curious to know the difference, in your opinion.

 

[StrikeFire83]

^ Yeah, he had an XDm 9 compact sitting right next to it for about $110 more. I just don't need/want the extra features, and it was slightly longer due to the longer barrel. XDm was nice, don't get me wrong, but the vanilla XD fits me just fine.

I love my XD40 Subcompact, I'm sure you'll love that little guy.

Nice gun. Congrats! I'm sure you going to enjoy it.

So I was able to shoot my new acquisition this evening, and here are my thoughts.

Pros
-Great trigger for a poly pistol
-Much more accurate than I am
-Sights, I prefer them to my Glock 17
-Extended mag makes it feel like a full-size grip
-200 rounds, 115gr and 124gr, 0 malfunctions

Cons
-loading the last few rounds into the 13 round mag is BRUTAL
-that's about it for now!

And now for the TARGETS:

7 yards


15 yards


25 yards


Not too bad for a first outing I think. I'll be the first to admit that things kind of broke down at 25 yards.

Have a Bi-Tone XD9sc. It rocks!!!! Accurate, reliable, great ergo's, nice trigger, 16 round back up mags, 13+1 standard mags. What's not to love?

I might have to give this little guy a looksy. My wife wants something small for CCW. I would however have to get it Armor Coated in Pink per her request

 

[ultradoc]

I have one too. I think they might be cousins. Love mine

Good shooting.
