I am picking this one up this afternoon. I was wondering if anyone here has gotten one of their own yet.
Thanks for letting me be a part of your forum!

'Card said:Honestly? No. I've tweaked handguns before, from grips to sights to trigger jobs, but I haven't done a thing to my XD yet. It just hasn't needed anything, to be honest. I may put some night sights on it at some point, but other than that I can't see changing anything.
If I was serious about competition shooting or something I'd probably mess around with stuff, but I'm not, and I really like the grip and the trigger the way they are right out of the box.
To tell you the truth, it's probably the least interesting firearm I own. It shoots more accurately than I do, disassembles in a snap, cleans easily, happily eats any kind of ammo I feed it, has never had a malfunction of any type, doesn't need any accessories or tweaking, feels great in my hand, points quick, and just keeps plugging along. If I'd been looking for a high-maintenance relationship I'd be really disgusted with it by this point.
Did you replace the grips on yours yet, or not? I've got big hands so I want something that forms to the hand a little bit better.
