Alright the data is in and i have sorted it all out. i was curious about a few things to do with the xd's, so i decided to take it upon myself to do a little on-line study to answer some of my questions. so here goes.
Paramaters
1)50 people's individual input.
2)Data Taken from three gun forums, THR, xdtalk.com and ar15.com
Results
1)14 0f the 50 people own mulitiple xd's more than one, in some cases as many as three.
2)of the 50 xd owners there is a total of 69 xd's.
3)Of the 69 xd's there were a total of 6 breakages.
A) 3 in 9mm
B) 3 in .40s&w
NOTE: there were no issues with the .45 models but i don not believe this to be because of any difference in manufacturing, or the way they are built, they have simple not seen the action that the others have.
4)Xd's By caliber, of the 69 owned there are:
A) 18 .45acp
B) 19 .40s&w
C) 31 9mm
D) 1 .357sig
NOTE: i found it interesting the number of .45 models to the ratio of the others, i think sa really capatlized by making the .45 acp models and definetly made some money quick on them. also cool to see that ouut of the bunch there were no .45 gap models owned.
Ammo Consumption
as little as 200rds to as much as 12,000rds were fired with 3 over the 10,000rd mark, and three times that many over the 5,000rd mark. between the various owners and there xd's.
NOTE: i definetly got my questions answered and hopefully this will aid in changing some people's mis conceptions, but if not i think it is good info and a good basis to justify someone buying and owning an xd. i am happy with the results.
