Anyone have any experience with the XD Sub-compact in 9mm? Any thoughts. Good shooter? Likes or dislikes?

 

Thanks

Ken has one..... From what he said, his wife loves it.

 

He had it at CR on Saturday.... I didnt shoot it, but I held it with the mag with the extended base in it...... nice...

Love mine. Comfy and easy to control. The mag springs are heavy, so it's hard to load them to capacity by hand. A mag loader is a necessity for that gun. The grip is a bit short for some people, but I have a long, narrow hand and it's a non-issue for me.

Thanks Ken. Have you ever carried it? I assume it would make a good carry from it's size and weight. Have read reviews stating that it is very accurate wven though it's a short barrel.

if you are going to look at that, might as well look at the new XDm 3".

I don't carry, but I have a cheapo holster and have worn it in the house. It sits well, not heavy or awkward at all. It is very accurate for the short barrel. Not a bullseye gun (at my skill level. YMMV), but suitably accurate at 15 yards or so.

xdm has a laerger mag than 15

I've looked at the XDm3, but I believe that comes with the full size grip and large cap mags.

 

I'm looking for something small for carry.

Ah, You're right I thought it was 13+1.

 

For a concealed carry gun, I would SERIOUSLY look at the Springfield EMP

Forget that semi-auto crap, get a 38 snubbie! 5 guaranteed shots are way better than 14 maybe shots!

Come on Ray he's looking at a XD. They are awesome guns. Accurate, reliable a must have. See if you can rent one at a range to try. You will find that it will be a sure fit.

I have one, I bought it to use for IDPA pocket gun matches. Where you must carry under a vest and inside the pants holster.

 

I is very accurate, but is pretty thick and heavy for all day carry.

if ccw is what i was concerned about I would choose the Kahr.

 

I will see if I can get some pics up of my set up.

Did someone say Carry in NJ? Never heard of it LOL

 

But on a serious note I have heard nothing but good things about the subcompact for accuracy, carry and just and all out reliable gun. And I am not saying this because I have a compact. Been thinking about getting one myself

Thanks for the input guys. I'm in no rush to do anything, but have been looking at these the last few weeks.

 

I may just spend $70 and get a good IWB holster like a Crossbreed Super Tuck for my CZ P0-1. A lot of guys on the CZ forum carry them. Was just thinking of something a little and lighter after carrying the CZ last week in PA while getting cheese steaks.

Check these out for a less expensive alternative.

I obviously do not carry, but I did oreder one becuase $25 was worth a shot and find i comfortable for my FS M&P 9.

 

If I can make it tonight, I will bring it for you to check out.

Thanks Mike. I have a $28 DeSantis nylon, it's ok, but not as comfortable as some of the better ones.

 

I've heard of and looked at the Highnoon, I'd like to check it out.

 

Thanks.

Can you wait till Tuesday, that's problably going to be the next meet-up. Then all of us can stroke your gun!

well it looks like i am going tomm at 130

Well I shot it today and was awsome except whe I had the 9 round mag in without the grip extension on. If you have big hands either the 12 round mag or pierce exts are a must.
