Picked up my XD today.
Funny how once I had it with me, even though it was in the case, it seemed like there were a higher than normal number
of cops around on the way home. Got it home and of course had to check it out. Man it feels good in my hands.

Can't wait to shoot it this next weekend.

I think I'll probably color in the etchings first and then order some new sights.
Has anyone used the sights from http://www.suresight.com before?

Thanks,
Kevin

Yep, I was looking at this one, http://www.comp-tac.com/catalog/product ... Csid=4cbc4

Checked the website this morning and it's in the shipping state.

I'll probably have it early this coming week but I can't wait much longer.

What can I do to pass the time until then?

UPDATE:

I have ordered a XD compact 45 , 4 in. barrel , 10 +1 & 13 +1 clips, in the Dark Earth. Budsgunshop had them for $499 delivered and I'll pay $20 to my FFL for the transfer.

All is well, I contacted Randy @ West Texas Military Surplus and he said that he could do the transfer for $20, which I thought was pretty good. Then, I contacted Bud's and got them to change my FFL and that was not a problem either.
Chalk it up to first purchase, now I know the process for next time.

Now I just have to sit and wait for my XD 45 to come in.

Need to find me a IWB holster now..

Kevin

First purchase probably should have spoke to them before placing order, just figured since it's a national chain that I wouldn't have a problem.
Maybe I can change the FFL it ships to before it ships out if needed. I'll call Gander Mtn in the morning.

Springfield XD 40 S&W 4" is the same price : http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/prod ... s_id/30988

Alright, guys. I'm so excited. Thanks to Jason for pointing me to Bud's, I have ordered my first handgun ( http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/prod ... s_id/41838 )
and I got it for about $75 less than at Academy. I am having it delivered to the Gander Mountain here in Lubbock. Does anyone know what they charge for the transfer fee?

Thanks again,

Kevin

When I looked at Academy yesterday in Lubbock, they had the 4 in. XD 45 for $560.

Ok, I was looking at the SA XD45 compact as my first weapon but think that may be a little to pricey for the wife's liking for first weapon.
What would you guys recommend in either a 9mm or .40 S&W below $400? I like all of the safety features the XD has and also the capacity.
Do you think I could find one maybe at a pawn shop for $400 or less? If not, bring on your input.

Thanks,
Kevin
