By far the most impressive thing about my new XD-9 Bi-tone is how well it shoots. It is dead on and if I do my part, it will tear the center out of a target. It is box stock and still getting worn in but so far, I am impressed. I shoot it better than most guns I have tried. What kind of accuracy are you guys getting? Is this common or did I luck out and get a shooter? I hear good things about the accuracy but I would like to hear from people who shot other guns as well for a comparison.
I shoot it better than my Berettas which is a little embarrasing but oh well. I shoot it better than most of the 1911s I have own with one high dollar Colt Chip McCormick racer being the exception. I shoot it better than any S&W auto or Ruger auto. I shoot it better than nearly every gun I have tried with a few exceptions and I have owned and shot a lot of pistols. There are maybe 3-4 autos in my life that shot better for my offhand than the XD.
Revolvers don't count because a good S&W .38 or .357 will drop bullets into the X-ring all day long! But in autos, the XD holds a pretty high place on my list of most favored pistols. I am not a fan of plastic guns but this one is proving itself to me. Will I ever retire my 100% reliable Beretta 92FS as a home defense gun? Probably not, it is just too reliable to retire. I will never carry the beretta now that the XD is such a good package though.
