All XDs have "Grip Zone." It's a very important feature... Actually an XD 9 was my first gun, they aren't really that bad. But everyone used to make fun of the grip zone marketing.

Why is it so tall. It's getting into hi point territory

Man that's the first thing I thought, who is cloning high points, but I'm assuming it must have a built-in laser or something...... Doesn't say Ohio anywhere on that does it..... I couldn't imagine anyone doing a high point clone, and yes I know who the MFG is....just a attempt at humor but seriously imagine buying a clone of a high point that's when you know you have one tooth left and you hit rock bottom .....hey man is that a high point no dog it's a high point clone...... A low point... Literally

That’s just how XDs are, they react the prettiest or most pleasant guns but they’re solid

What it lacks in length it makes up for in girth.

The 12 round mag has a grip extension, heres a pic with the normal 9 round mag

If you're talking about the slide, I have no answer for you lol

I love my xd40. Most reliable gun I've ever used. I put so many rounds through it back when I first got it without ever cleaning it, I'd rack the slide and it sounded like gravel, but it refused to ever jam or fail in any way. Eventually satisfied that it was not a range only gun it's been my daily carry since. Sometimes they get flak for the looks or whatever but ignore any negativity they're reliable guns. My neighbor also owns one and loves his as well.

My dad has the original when they first came out. He shoots it well and I like it too! The best gun is the one you’ll train with and carry. Congrats, pistols are an addiction😂

YAAAAAAAYYYY! Welcome to the club! I got my mod 3 last year and I LOVE it!!

Got that same pistol chambered in .45

I love my XD Mod.3, but I recently just switched over to the Ruger RXM. With that being said, XDs are really solid for the price and I think you made a pretty good choice.

General_Tsao_Knee_Ma@reddit

I put 30 rounds through it when I got home

RIP, your walls/neighbors

There were little to no survivors in the local empty soda can population

.40s&w is an interesting choice for your first pistol

Threather19@reddit

And in a subcompact variant

FishinElectrician22@reddit (OP)

Local gun shop had a good deal for it, honestly couldnt find another pistol with a decent name for the same price

[-]

sportbiketed@reddit

Oofda. Ammo cost is going to negate any of your initial savings.

[-]

PickleNutella@reddit

I have three XD's with many rounds through them, solid pistols, no issues at all.
Have noticed when I let other people shoot them they sometimes have issues not depressing the grip safety but it's easily correctable.
If you live in a state that allows ammo to be shipped to front door, checkout Ammoseek, .40 is 230 a case
Here in California .40 is like 380-400 a case plus its double taxed

[-]

FishinElectrician22@reddit (OP)

Good advice, I'm in VA and a case of .40 would run about 400 at one of my local shops, I'll definitely look into it

Idc what the haters say, gun is better than no gun. Use it right citizen 😎

Low-Landscape-4609@reddit

Great choice my friend. I'm sure you got it at a good price as well. I had one of those many years ago when they first come out. Carried the heck out of it.

I have the full size .45acp version of th same handgun. Not my favorite, but I like it. It has more sentimental value more than anything. It was my late father's handgun I inherited after his passing last summer.
