XD Mod 2

[djsmith1000]

I'm interested in range report as well. How is the muzzle flip/recoil? Is it still fun to shoot or is it too small? I'm between an M&P 9c and an XD subcompact double stack.

Also, is there really enough difference with the original XD to justify the cost? The essentials package can be had for under 350...

It is a double stack as well, and takes the same mags as the old XD

I love my XD9sc. It really doesn't shoot like a "small" gun, and is a a blast at the range. I have had ZERO malfunctions with mine.

As for the Mod 2, a slightly thinner, and better, grip as well as the Fiber Optic front sight, MIGHT just be enough to justify the cost, IMHO

Thanks for your experience with the XD.

My other option, since I'd like to stick with a double stack is the S&W M&P 9c. I'm worried about the trigger though, as I have read a lot of negatives on it. Also curious how the size compares. But it seems like the M&P has a low bore axis, which is why I was asking about recoil. I need to find a store that carries both and get the feel for them.

I had a chance to handle one at USDS and... well I was kind of surprised at how much I liked it. My wife has an XDS sub and I've just never liked it. It's heavy in the hand, hard to rack, and tiny little grip I just can't get to sit properly in my paws.

So I pick the Mod 2 up with a snort of derision and had to eat some crow. The damn thing is lighter, operates much smoother/easier, the slid is nicely milled for grip, and the grip itself (while Grip-zone-goofy) actually does what it says on the tin. I actually liked the damn thing...

I have not been able to fire the Mod 2 though, so grain of salt and all that.

I feel the same way about mine, I would consider getting the new version if I hadn't installed tru-glo's on mine, still, I might change my mind if the new one feels perfect.

Just ordered one from the Outdoorsman @ 519$ - bitone 9mm. I'll have it Thursday.

I bought one and have about 100 rounds through so far and I really like it. It shoots much softer than my 26 and just feels amazing in the hand. I have wide hands and I really enjoy shooting it with the flush mag. The sights it comes with are pretty decent as well, the gun does flip a bit, but Target reacusistion is very simple. I was very pleased with my groups at 10 yards. The more I shoot it the more I enjoy it. It is 100% replacing my g26 for edc.

 

[djsmith1000]

Thanks for the report! Have you shot the plain XD 9 sc for comparison?

 

[Tranquil]

If he hasn't, I have. I will do a comparison as soon as I get to take it to the range. Will post pics of what's in the box tomorrow.

Just picked mine up.

Just for those interested... Latest post from Midwest Gun Exchange in Mishawaka....

I just received an email about an hour ago from Springfield that they are now releasing this in .40 S&W as well. But wow, Wes, that price from Midwest is really, really good!

Tomlinson's in Churubusco had one yesterday. Held it but didn't pay attention to the price.

We hat the 9mm at Fort Liberty last Saturday. Don't recall the price off the top of my head.

love what they did with the grip, wish it came in 4" barrell

Saw it today at my LGS.... hate the branding and all the safety features but the grip texture on the front and back straps is very nice reminds me of my P30's stippling.

Has anyone shot it yet? Was curious if they did any other alterations other than the grip that would be noticeable
