Picked up a new XDsc9 at Sportsman's Warehouse for $270 plus tax. Brazilian police overrun model, two 13rd mags and an AS/BR rollmark on the top of the slide just above the SA logo rollmark. Owners manual is in Portugese, which is kind of fun. I had forgotten how nice these chunky little bitches are when shooting 9mm. Have to buy some more Pearce Grip extensions now.

I have a complete 9mm slide I bought off ebay that I use on what used to be my XDsc40, so I thought it would be nice to have a complete pistol with matching serial #s. |

I've long considered a slim version but I've become very accustomed to this one and I like the capacity. |

The Mod 2's felt even better in the hand than the XD's, I enjoy my Mod3 especially for the price for an optic cut and great "elite like" trigger but still think the M's feel perfect in the hand. |

Fired and then horsewhipped. The Mod 2s were a genuine improvent in more than jist ergos. The locking block and barrel lugs were updated as well. The legacy XDs will be around for a while because of the California roster. |

The Mod. 2 ergonomics are excellent (much better than the XDM) and I'm glad they kept those on the Mod. 3 (I do wish they put something where the grip zone label was though, it looks a little empty). |

Springfield Armory probably didn't dare put anything there this go around. Even if they did, I would have still bought one as all mine get grip tape. Also don't care about the shit talkers about the XD/m lines. All mine have been very reliable and before primers became outrageously priced, my typical range day was 400-500 rounds in about 1 to 2 hours through one pistol a few times a month. Now it's about 200ish. |

Call the tune and let's dance; but beware that the devil is the piper and the tab for that soiree will be hell to pay.
Training&Trigger Time are more important than chasing a hardware Holy Grail

My cutting the grass, bailing hay, working on vehicles carry of choice. Maybe cleaned once a year even though it sees range time about every quarter. Ignore the grime  Attached File Attached File |

I've been shooting these for 20+ years so I know what I need to keep handy. |

Sportsman's Warehouse has them coming in and out of stock and or being able to be shipped to a local store. Thats exactly how I got this one. Get it shipped to the nearest store (if theres one near) to avoid FFL transfer fees. I like SW, thank God BassPro didn't buy them. |
