My XD9 SubCom retailed for $419. I have made it my primary CCW gun and am very pleased with it. I've fired 100 rounds of Hydrashock and about 600 rounds of Winchester White box through it so far. I've had no problems at all with either round and carry the gun with cofidence. The gun is about the same size as Glock 26 to give you an idea about what you are looking at. I can produce about the same results shooteing the SubCom as I can my full size XD 40. Yes I like these guns so much I have two. THe XD 40 mags work in the Subcom so you can have a VERY strange looking HI Cap. I would highly recomend the XD's because they are reasonably prices, reliable, easy to field strip and in my opinion more accurate than me.
