Just wanted to show off my new baby

[bdwhitaker]

Just picked up my new EDC today from Elmore's Firearms...shoots like a dream. XDs .45...

Shouldn't be your "new EDC" until you shoot it a lot to make sure it is reliable with your carry ammo IMO.

Nice lookin piece.

 

[williamnewman1]

very nice and congrats , i know they are crazy popular and have been rolling around the idea of getting an xd for carry as well

 

[chachi73]

i don't suppose you could put something next to or on it to show scale and post a pic - like a dollar bill or a cigarette pack?? very sexy gun btw!

beautiful exactly the gun thats on my wish list

Congrats. The grips look like tire treads. Do they bite?

It's actually not bad, but I'm still going to put some Talon Grips on.

How is the trigger on that thing? I'm also interested in some other firearms comparison photos if you got the time. It is pretty sexy.

The trigger pull feels excellent, and I did take a couple pictures for you...comparing it to my S&W Bodyguard 380...as you can see, the frame isn't THAT much bigger than a 380, but this thing will definitely ruin someone's day quite a bit more than the Bodyguard. Not to mention it's quite a bit less chunky than my old carry, an XD9 sub compact.

I really like the way the xd's feel in my hand. I've been debating selling my glock 26 and getting one for a while.

How you planning on carrying? Got your holster?

 

[indybuell]

I want one badly! What was their price?

I ordered a Crossbreed Mini Tuck for it...it actually fits in the Supertuck I had for the XD9SC but since I'm slimming down what gun I carry, I figured I'd slim down the holster too.

I want one badly! What was their price?

Elmore's had it for $525 new in box. Cheaper than any online prices I even found.

Very nice. Did they happen to have any more in stock?

 

[kjf40]

Does that say made in Croatia?

They had one more, I believe.

Indeed it does...basically the XD-9 is a rebadged HS2000, made in Croatia and used by the Croatian military and LEOs. Springfield got the licensing rights for the US market, and renamed it "Springfield XD-9", and expanded the line and design to the various calibers that are now available. It all started in Croatia in the 90's, though.

Yes the XD's are made in Croatia...

 

[IndyGunner]

Yes the XD's are made in Croatia...

Springfield is "american" LOL

 

[Nacho Man]

$525, good deal. I want one in 9mm, hopefully they'll have it out by xmas time.

Nooooo. Just step back and take a deep breath. You'll feel better shortly.
