Anyone have one? Saw one for sale for $519.98 and I was thinking of getting it for that price.
Pros or cons on it?
 
I have one. It's versatile, with the extended grip 13 round mags, and the ten round short grip carry mags. Never had a failure of any sort for several thousand rounds. It isn't finicky about cleaning either. I have done an experiment where I fired 500+ rounds through it without cleaning or lubing it, and it never missed a beat. It would be the handgun I'd take if I could only have one.
 
It's my next handgun, I just can't decide between the 4" and 5". They really nailed it as far as concealable IWB carry goes though. The grip length is pretty much ALL that matters in my opinion, but there's still enough there with the short mags to get a full grip on the pistol.

What barrel length did you guys go with?
 
I'd recommend it. Like all the XDs, it is not picky about ammo and is as reliable as they come. I have the compact model, 4" barrel. Lots of holsters to choose from too. They are about $50 less here in Ohio though.
 
Mine is a 4" barrel. I can conceal it fine with the short carry mags. When I'm at home, I put the 13 rounders in it with the full length grip sleeves.
 
if it is anything like my xd service model, you will be good to go, over 11k rds and still running hard and strong.
 
Kind of blued,

I've got the 5" Tactical but I think I'd go for the 4" service length if I had it to do over. They both work great and the little advantage of longer sight radius is lost on me, I'm afraid.
