Anyone have a Springfiled Armory XD pistol? What are your thoughts?

Shot a XD last weekend in 9mm. I like how it felt. But its also the only semi-auto I've seen that failed to eject. It only did it once and I pulled the mag out and rack the slide manually and it ejected. Cycled fine the rest of the day:confused:. We put about another 80 rounds threw it after that happened.

Not to be partial cause I own one, but ******'s right about the grip. Dont get me wrong I like the gun, but there's just something about the grip. Just seems like the gun is really fat. I've been carriying this gun for about a month now, and I'm starting to get used to it being on the thick side though. Put quite a few rounds through it, and havent had any problems. Wish I would have bought the 40. though. Stupid ass 9mm. WTF was I thinking.:(

I shot the xd 40 sub and the glock 27 back to back at the range a few weeks back. Both shot very well but FOR ME the XD just didnt feel right, I dont know if it was the back strap saftey or what but the glock was more comfortable, FOR ME. I would go to a range and shot them both side by side, run 100 rounds through both, see what you like. Based on what I have read you cant really go wrong with either, just a matter of what works best for you.

I have an XD-40 sub compact as my primary carry piece. i carry with the short mag, get the "pearce grip" mag extension, in my case it made the gun fit my hand perfect, i did'nt care for the feel of it without that, it left me with a finger hanging off. i've had this gun for years and shoot it at least once a week, at least 100 rds and i've never once had a misfire/jam. i would buy another and recommend to anyone in the market. My 2nd choice would be a Glock model 27, and 3rd choice was the S&W M&P sub compact 40, i shot all similar models when buying and always came back to this one.
