@@berettaxd7566 I found a mod 2 40 at the local pawnshop for $550 cash. It was brand new. It's a joy to shoot. Very manageable and accurate! If I find it in 45 I will be getting it!
7:32 - *_BRILLIANT._* The chief complaint I have about trigger safeties is that anything that might snag the trigger (tree branch or twig) is also going to snag the trigger safety too, making it really pretty useless. This is a problem with my existing Springfield XD-40 Subcompact (which is my FAV EDC). That's why I insist on having also a grip safety. But THIS will definitely make me consider upgrading my Gen 1 XD-40 Sub to this one. This one makes the trigger safety work in conjunction with the grip safety, requiring BOTH to be engaged. Love it!
Nice! I’m really considering getting myself the same gun. I already carry an XD-40 service model which is the mid size 4in. and that baby although loud & snappy isn’t nearly as bad as other 40’s i’ve shot. The service model handles the 40S&W extremely well & since I practice a lot with it I handle it just as well or better than my buddies with their Glock 19 & 17’s, lol. As far as I understand Springfield Armory uses a double steel recoil spring & all steel rod which makes a smooth shooting pistol & it does. Also the trigger is one of the best trigger out of the box than my glocks, ruger & Taurus no need to upgrade anything really but I did add some Truglo TFX tritium Pro sites, Talon grip & TLR-7. The sites were a great addition especially since it’s my carry gun.
Had a px4 compact in 40, never got the hang of it. Got the xd 40 4 inch version and it was perfect for me. Is the beretta a more pricey gun, well yeah but accuracy for me goes to the xd
Tbh the .40 doesn't kick anymore than 9mm +p imho. I prefer the .40 tbh but to each their own. I have the mod 1 version and the tactical mod 1 version.
If its your first gun THEN I wouldn't recommend 40 because , yes, its too snappy. If you're an experienced 9mm shooter and have your fundamentals down already then 40 is alot of fun and not too snappy
Mine has broken 4 times. The barrel, the guide rod, and the locking block. The platform is too small. In giving up after SA promised no more defects. I sent it back last week to SA after the barrel broke a second time.
I have a Glock 33 which I bought a few years back to test out .357 SIG. I found it to be an pretty accurate and easy to handle. Having said that, it just seemed a bit too specialized of a cartridge and they don't make that many firearms chambered in it. Also, the ammo is expensive (even before the shortage). Good round, just no room in my toolkit.
@@aKjohn8798 It doesn't tell you if it is loaded. I guess for someone that dry fires their gun when the chamber is empty, it would serve a purpose. I didn't think many people did that.
I have the same gun, chambered in .40. Dead nuts accurate and very pretty. I love it.
I have one too in stainless version
I'm new to carrying and I absolutely love mine. I can group all 13 rounds at 10 yards. Mine is also hydro dipped and I friggin love it.
Unfortunately it won't let me post a picture tho . 😢
Just picked up an identical one at my local Gander Outdoors. Used for $245!! It was a steal. Can’t wait to shoot it
That was a steal! I've been trying to find a 45 with no luck.
Damn I wish I could find one.

Damn you basically stole it these worth like 400-500

Pearce grips pinky rest fits really good and looks factory on the smaller magazine. Still conceals very comfortably.
I have this model in 9mm and 45acp. Both are sweet shooters.

I love the trigger in mine as well. I think the Glock is sloppy compared to it.

Are the mags interchangeable with the Gen 1 XD-40 Sub?

I’m just gonna say, this version in .40 caliber is fun to shoot. I’m not a big person, and I still think it’s not too snappy. IMO

I have that very exact gun love it also

I shot the 4” & 3” XD’s and the 3” subcompact shot the same if not slightly better than the 4”, weird 😮
What grain bullets are you shooting out of that gun??
just got mine 🖤
Hi dose this frame fit on the xd 40 sub I guess first gen.?
I have this in 9mm. I find it to be the ideal C&C pistol. MikeInMinnesota
Thinking about getting one what’s the magazines capacity?
9+1 and 12+1
Good video but it says how to have recoil control but he never got to that. But still a good video
What do you think of. 357sig?

I’ll keep my XL.
Not much point in the cocked indicator. The gun would almost never be uncocked. When would it be usefull?
Its just a sight assurance for people who aren't as comfortable with guns I think to know its not ready idk
@@ryankasik7911 But it will almost always be "ready." The only time it is not cocked is when you dry fire it.
Its about being able to "feel"if its loaded in a low light or no light situation

laser light is a must, you can't shoot shoot what you cant see.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Just shoot 165 grain softer & faster.
I bought one so many years ago. I cant stand the grip zone labeling. I bought a talon grip to cover it up.
He keeps calling it a Smith & Wesson
