Great gun. I would recommend getting the one w/ the 5" barrel. I got the 5" model and it seems that w/ the extra " it doesn't kick back as much (it's not a lot of help but I think it's there.) Try going to a place that rents guns and see if you like the feel of how it shots. I had the advantage of being in a police academy and getting to shoot a ton of rounds through a glock 9mm. Found out that the gun was just too light for my liking and decided to get the SA XD .40 S&W
I'm not a fan of the XD, didn't like it when I shot one. I'm more of a M&P and Glock guy for polymer pistols.
Fletcher had factory refurb Glock 22 .40's for $399 on their fb page on 11/5. I bought a refurb from cabelas and you can't tell it from new.
Looks nice. Like already said, try one out at a range that rents em. Then if you still like it, I'll match the price and cut you a deal on the transfer. If you'd like come up and I'll let you try out my XDm 40 to see what you think of it.Quote:

I have that same exact pistol. If I could go back again I would have gotten it in a 45. That's the only thing I would have done differently. I like it a lot. It fits my hands well and the angel of the grip is right on. I also suggest looking into the s&w m&p that will be my next purchase.
My brother has an M&P40. Great gun!!! I really like the feel of it.Quote:

I did not like the feel of the Glocks at all. The SW M&P felt really good but I liked the feel of the XDs the best. Next will have to be a trip to the range and rent some of them.
midwestern has a XD to use at their range
Its all about what feel good to you:thumbsup
I use the small grips on my M&P, try the different backstraps if they'll let you too.
I didn't like the trigger on the XD or the fact it reminds me of an old Makita drill with its high boreline. :goof
But if it works for YOU, THAT'S what's important:thumbsup
And that's my pet peeve with a Glock. I hate the trigger on every one I've ever shot. The last one I shot was a G22 I bought from a member here. It shot OK but the lower pad of my trigger finger kept getting trapped between the bottom of the trigger and the trigger guard. I sold it within a month. My XDm has a superior trigger and a better feel. And it's more accurate. Plus, they come with more extras and a better hard case from the factory.Quote:

Just picked up a new xdm .45 for 599. Looking forward to shooting it.
