    I have owned my XD .40 for 2.5 years. By far the best firearm I have ever used. It has great balance, great accuracy (I hit 97% with this iron), and is incredibly durable. I have used the M9 Beretta, a .40 Beretta, .40 Taurus, 357 mag, and a 1911 Colt (great piece!). But I must say, out of them all, I love the XD .40 most as a sidearm.

    Picked mine up yesterday in Newcastle, ca. at Foothill firearms. Put 100 rounds of various make .40 cal. through it without any problems at all. First group of 10 shots were within a 2" group at 30 feet with factory settings. I wont be changing a thing. It is a superb firearm and a joy to shoot. Best auto. I have ever handled.

    I own both a Glock 23 and a XD-40. This gun has such an amazing track record for me personally, and probably for most XD owners. Ive shot over 2,000 rounds without one problem. It will shoot anything reliably and pretty accurate. It isn't heavy at all to carry. I find it to be just as light, maybe a few ounces heavier than the 23, but yet just as reliable and accurate as the 23.
    I'll choose either one anyway in a gun fight.
    Just my two cense:)

    Excellent tour of this weapon- T/Y. My GF recently bought one for $400 as her first carry gun; she LOVES it. I've ALWAYS carried a 1911 but am DEF shopping for this puppy also...

  • @saintbabylon7250
    @saintbabylon7250 3 года назад +2

    I own the same XD-40 service model and I still love watching others who love there’s as well, lol. I own a Glock too and love it but the XD is just a solid quality built gun no machine marks, polished feed ramp, never fails or had an issue with it firing & for a 40 cal it’s very smooth shooting cause of the weight. Awesome trigger and grip & amazing pointer just like a 1911. I put a TLR-7 stream light one mine with a set of TruGlo TFX pro sights so I can fire at night with a click of my light to see my target I can stay in the dark & have the advantage with those sights. Not a fan of lasers cause I rather not be spotted by my laser giving me away if in a combat situation.

  • @egmjag
    @egmjag 9 лет назад +1

    I've had one for several months. Shot about 400 - 500 rounds so far. Used it for qualifying for my CCW class where I had to replicate things like stove piping, jammed slide release, and emergency defense drills. Was surprised that I got a head shot after following through with a drill where you have to fire twice quickly at center mass, followed up by a quick head shot. The only potential problem is conceal carry. Too heavy for that but I'd love to carry it if I could. Maybe this would be ideal in places where you're allowed to open carry. Would like to get the Mod.2 in .40 but it's illegal in Commiefornia. Maybe if I get it used or even new with limited capacity magazines? Slim chance that it will happen. So now I have to consider getting a conceal carry gun like M&P (but not Shield since it fell of the Commiefornia gun roster) or another practical conceal carry in .40. But I don't want to get rid of this one I have now. I like that it's perfectly balanced, at least to me it is. The barrel length I think reduces recoil and the snappiness associated with high pressure .40 ammo. I actually like this about the .40 round; it's fun and challenging to learn how to best control and handle a .40 cal like this gun. This is my home defense anyway since I don't have my permit to carry...yet~ Plus I plan to put a light on the gun. I don't think it would be a good idea to have a light attached on a conceal carry anyway...unless you're out hiking in the wilderness or....

    i have a 4" XD-40 and LOVE this gun. It does not jam ever. My Concealed Carry instructor also commented about how smooth the recoil was. A bit big for CC but i mainly use for home protection. My usual carry gun is a Pico 380

    I got mine a couple months ago. It's a GREAT gun. Very accurate, feels good in the hand & it's made in Croatia! My favorite country for vacation and visiting family!

  • @meangreen320
    @meangreen320 5 лет назад +1

    Excellent conceal carry gun, but I personally believe duty weapons should be ready with the only safety being the trigger and your brain. But XD’s are excellent guns and you can’t go wrong getting one or all of them lol

    Nice review. I had had my XD 40 for a while now and it has performed very well for me. I don't have the $$ to go to the range and waste ammo very often, but when I do, it is a pleasure to fire!

    • @kentnordland138
      @kentnordland138 8 лет назад +3

      +Beretta96Dan
      Going to the range is seldom a "waste" of ammo. It's called practice.
      I started reloading in 1973 and have saved thousand of $'s. Get a Lee 4 hole turret press "kit", (leeprecision.com/reloading-kits/turret-press/) a set of carbide dies, powder, small pistol primers, and bullets. You will probably enjoy shooting more when you "roll yer own".

    • @Beretta96Dan
      @Beretta96Dan 8 лет назад

      +Kent Nordland Good idea, Kent. I realize I need to keep my skills honed. I wrote the original comment when ammo was quite a bit more expensive. Thanks for the link. Best regards...Dan

    just picked up mu xd 40 service model. love it. have the blackhawk holster but have not wore it out yet in that. i like my inside waistband holster. feels more comfortable and i know its close. works well under a tshirt. ill check into the grips that you have. i like the idea of the sandpaper grip. mine feels a tad slick in the hands so i need something to hang onto a bit more firmly. good review. thanks.

  • @tkcenterline1
    @tkcenterline1 12 лет назад

    Great video. I just bought a XDm 40 cal compact. I'm a newbe to hand guns. I have owned rifles & shot guns for years. I went to the range with XDm. Nice gun, easy to use and clean. But the problem I was having is at 25' I have to aim about 8" from the center target to the upper right hand corner to get a 5 shot cluster (1" cluster) at the center target. Being new, do i have to lead a hand gun this much away to hit the target? Is it something I'm doing wrong or is the sites off on the gun off

  • @ChrisHirner

    Thanks for the demo. I'm going to be buying this gun soon. It will be my first handgun. I'll be taking the C&C course shortly and this looks like a great C&C weapon. Question: Do you ave any experience with the 3 inch "Subcompact" XD? I'm probably going for the 4 inch but I see they do have a 3 inch in the .40 as well.

    @GlocklovinBob 5 лет назад

    I think I’m already having issues with mine.Nit sure but I cleaned it yesterday and when I put it back together.The slide does not go back in forth with an empty magazine inside it does with out a magazine inside.But when the empty mag is inside it locks.Know I only had it for a month so maybe That’s the way the gun is that it knows it’s empty mag and that’s why it locks when I pull the slide.If someone can give me the answer before I go get ripped of my a gunsmith that would be great than you

    • @danalexander2149
      @danalexander2149 3 года назад

      You should look into finding a 9mm barrel that can be switched out with the .40 barrel - you would just need to buy a 9mm mag for the XD (along with the barrel).
      Springfield halted production of the 9mm barrel for this .40 cal, but you may be able to find one online.

    @brycewise 10 лет назад +1

    I have been having problems with my XD 40 chambering rounds. They seem to get hung up on the feed ramp. I notice that it seems to happening with two of the 4 mags I have for it. have you had this problem?I sent the pistol and mags back to Springfield and they couldn't replicate the problem Is there a fix for the lips of the mags?

    • @h2o4170
      @h2o4170 9 лет назад +1

      Use some 1500 grit and lightly polish the ramp . Just enough to smooth it not to take off much material. The if you take a mop from your cleaning kit and put it in a cordless drill with a bit of compound you can lightly polish the ramp! Again I say lightly . Don't go in with a dremmel and start sanding. It should feed fine.

    • @h2o4170
      @h2o4170 9 лет назад +2

      Didn't read far enough before replying. Also the feed lips on you mags can be an issue . Are they factory? If you can try mags from a friends or rental gun. If aftermarket mags you may get some feed issues as well. Great pistol you made a great purchase

      The only times I've had jams on my XD 40 is when I was trying to fire from a bad magazine. I've fired my gun through multiple sessions without cleaning it & it hasn't misfired. I don't recommend keeping any firearm dirty though!

  • @BobsHobbies
    @BobsHobbies  13 лет назад

    @eje1079 It really is a great gun. The Talon Grips did it for me though. I like the stock feel but if you like a nice tight grip try out a talon. Only $10 when i bought mine. The gun has had no problems at all since I got mine. And almost 2,000 rounds later it is still running perfect

    I'm 18 and I wanna buy a handgun and get good with it before I turn 21, so I can just run up and take my CC test on my 21st birthday. I'm thinking about getting this gun because I'm a pretty small kid. 5'6 and really skinny. I want something .40+ for a CC for stopping power. Would you recommend this for me? Seems easy enough to conceal for smaller guys and .40 seems easy enough to handle.

    Have mine for about 2 yrs. now & its my EDC gun I ordered it with night sights on it. Payed apx $535.00 for it back then. I bought a Fobus Paddle holster for it, Aas I do not like the holster that came with the kit from SA I keep it loaded with Fed HST 180 gr. ammo for SD use. this gun like the Glock will run dirty if the need arises. but its cost much less than a Glock & has safety features that the Glock's does not have.nice review

  • @dallasgrubb55
    @dallasgrubb55 12 лет назад

    I would recommend getting the .9mm XD. Still plenty of stopping power and it will still do everything you want it to. It has considerably less recoil and with you being of smaller stature that's what you want. I'm not much bigger than you, 5'10 180 pounds, and the .40 kicks like a mule. With regards to concealing it, the .40 may be bigger than you think if you have never fired one. If you really want the power of a .40 caliber, you may want to consider the sub-compact. Hope this helps!

    @blypanda I shoot pretty much anything through it, anything that is reasonably priced. Winchester Whitebox and sellier and bellot are cheap and work awesome. No issues.

    Thats common to most striker fired pistols, the sear hooks on the firing striker, and wont let the slide go forward unless disengaged. Proper procedure though is to remove magazine and check the chamber first.
