Looks like soon enough you'll be able to use those lil teeny numbers themselves - the 7s, 8s and 9s - as aiming points; the X-ring is getting far too easy for ya :tiphat: ;-)
This was concentrating pretty hard... I have the dang habit of pulling to the left when shooting.

"Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars."
1)Treat firearms as if they are loaded. 2)Point the muzzle away from non-targets.
3)Keep fingers off the trigger until ready to shoot. 4)Be sure of your target and backstop.

I love the longer sight line...it is going to be a better setup for me as a right handed but left eye dominant shooter. :cheers2:
Thanks for meeting me out in the middle of nowhere sir, I am extremely happy with the 3.3. Took it to the range today and it performed like a champ... 400 rounds and not a single problem. The slide failed to lock back a couple times but that was due to me resting my thumb on the slide lock, so all in all the gun performed perfectly. I am 100% happy with it.

This was 10 shots from 5 yards, 30 from 7 yards and the final 10 from 10 yards. You can tell the 10 yard ones as they are the worst lol. All in all this gun is more accurate than I am so it is awesome!

That looks familiar! It is an extremely accurate gun! Glad you are pleased with everything. When I actually get time to get to the range, I'll see if I can do the same with yours!

I'm pretty sure you will like how the 4.0 shoots. I carry a Shield and have shot a lot of rounds the past 16 months. I picked up a XDs 4.0 primarily for the slightly longer sight line and the 1st time I shot it I was shooting as well if not slightly better than with the shield. The other thing I like about the 4.0 is that I can use the flush fitting magazine and still have the control that I do with the extended mag on the Shield. The little extra barrel length seems to make quite a difference in "flip"
