Springfield Armory XD
I did a search and found nothing on here about this new weapon and am interested in buying one. Does anyone here have any experience with one? Heck, has anyone even heard anything about them? I'm looking at one in 9mm for $375 NIB, and can't find a reason yet to turn it down. Except that I don't think it's even possible to get a full capacity magazine for one.

I'm looking for someone who has experience with the Springfield Armory XD handgun. My question is I'm looking to buy for target shooting and home protection. Am I better off with the 9mm or 40 and a 4 inch barrel vs 5inch barrel? Also if you have shot the V10 model with port holes what did you think? Thank you 0 -
9mm ammo is cheaper, but a LEO friend of mine tells me that the 40 cal penetrates sheet metal as in cars better than the 9 mm. I would think that the longer length better may reduce recoil, but at the same time it would be harder to conceal. 0 -
From what I've found, the sheet metal bodies on cars won't stop a bullet for nothing. I shot a totalled yugo that a bud had behind his house with a 22. Went clean thru it, all over the place. A car isn't good for cover at all, only concealment. It wouldn't matter if you got the 9 or 40, either way you could still go clean thru one door and out the other.
Personally I like the 40 cause its a bigger bullet which leaves a bigger hole.0
