Needed to replace a Glock that KaBoomed. Bought a S&W, Ruger, Tarus and a Springfield. The Springfield XD40 sub compact looked the best, felt the best in my hand, was the most accurate and the most relieable. About 6,000 rounds of cheap WWB without a failure of any kind. Second to the XD40 is my S&W M&P 9MM compact followed by a S&W M&P 40 cal.
