I recently purchased the 40S&W 5" tactical and the 3" stainless steel. I absolutley love it. It is a little heavy in the front but that barrell will take a lot of abuse. Never jammed, i've put about 1,000 rounds through her in 2 months. It is very accurate and a great learning weapon. I've taken my wife out and she absolutley love it.

I actually have the .45 ACP, 4" model, but I have fired the .40 S&W. Both have an amazing feel to them and my girlfriend is mostly likely going to purchase the .40 for her own CCW. After 7 years in the military, I have fired many different weapons but none have the accuracy and feel as these handguns.

4,000 rounds in 8 months and never a malfunction I love this weapon. I hate the holster that came with it though

Great, reliable, weapon.

Excellent weapon. Dead on target. Smooth Action. Easy to handle, comfortable to grip with sandpaper stick on's even in wet weather. 40 S&W the caliber to use. Knock down potential is great, smooth trigger pull, very little kick back. Great weapon all around.

The Springfield XD (ANY MODEL) is a great weapon. If a SIG and a Glock had a love child, the XD would be it. The best of both.

I 've had an XD for over a year now, never had a fail to feed, very very relible. Easy to take down, accurate, . Excellent trigger! Very safe. Look around on the web for the for the 20,000 round XD torture test!
I can't wait to get another one!

I have owned my for a little over a year and a half. I have placed thousands of rounds through it and have yet to have a problem of any kind with this weapon. It truely lives up to the high standards of Springfield Armory.

I have owned my XD 40 for about two years and have put countless rounds through it with no problems at all. It is one of the easiest pistols I have ever shot in my lifetime. My model aslo has the ported barrell which makes the slight recoil the .40 S&W disappear. It's easy to disassemble and you can put a variety of accessories on it if you like. I am currently in the military and wish I could carry mine over the M9 they give us every day. It's a must have for any pistol lover.

I have a XD-40 as my personal carry weapon. I have loved it a lot, I would not trade it for anything!

An outstanding piece of gear that's reliable and durable. I highly reccomend this weapon. It is a greeat on and off duty piece of gear.

By far the best firearm I have ever owned. My favorite feature is the safty on the grip.

Nice gun. Shoots smooth and never chokes on a bullet... Ive fired over 500 rounds through my springfield xd 40 and no problems what so ever... Nice saftey features as well..

Great gun that is fun to shoot. I personally prefer Glock over Springfield XD, but both are very reliable guns.

Smooth shooting, great trigger tension, and little recoil makes this pistol a personal fav of mine!

awesome gun i have shot many guns before but this by far is my favorite

The Springfield XD-40 is awesome. Extremely accurate! Shot it yesterday for the first time (first time I've ever shot a gun). I would recomend this gun to anyone!

i love this gun. i own it and have never had any problems with it

I give this weapon a definite 10. Out of the box the XD 40 is very accurate, feeds anything you give it, and the trigger smoothness is amazing. Glock is gone! Wow, love this weapon! Go down to your local range and give it a test drive. You will not be sorry.

I have put over 2000 rounds through this gun with no problems. Perfect weight not to light, not to heavy. Very accurate. Let a new shooter put a mag down range and you would have thought they knew what they were doing. Everyone should have one.

This is a great gun. They shoot really good. If you have never shot one and you get the chance to pull the trigger on one you'll like it.

nothing good to say about this one other than I wont have one on my side!!!

FUNCTIONED OK BUT IS LIKE CARRING A BRICK YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST BY A GLOCK

Great handgun for price, very accurate, low recoil. Recommend to everyone I talk to about it!

Excellent weapon. Never a jam. Perfect fit in the hands.

I owned this weapon for three years, I loved the way it shot and fit into my hands when firing. I no longer own it after it continued to jam with over the counter practice ammo. The gun also malfunctioned once when dust and lint collected in the receiver, I think the dust came from placing the gun down between the front seat of my truck while driving down the road. I got rid of the gun after that malfunction. I know I should clean the gun, but with a name like Extream Duty, it should fire under all conditions, especially lint, dust, and practice ammo.

I have a subcompact in .40... Like it alot.. great conceal gun. Mine gets suface rust bad though.. a buddy of mine has the full size and he's got the same complaint.... anyone else had this problem?

My co-worker has one and we shot it at the range, its a nice shottin gun, i'll stick to the Glock tho.

i personally did not like this weapon...i bought it for concealed carry. it was wide and very top heavy. the weapon was not as accurate at as the glock 27, and has a lot of felt recoil. the gun also rusted quickly too, and required a lot more attention for maintenance.

SA describes the grip angle as "point and shoot ergonomics". All I know is that when I hold my XD-40, it feels like it's part of my arm. The best pistol I've ever owned.

As my first semi automatic handgun that I have owned, I must say that I am very pleased with the purchase. This has a much more natural feel than its competition, Glock. The angle of the handle rests more upright in your hand than a Glock, which I feel would make it easier to aim and shoot. It is very simple to take down and clean also. Another perk I found is the left or right handed magazine release.

excellent shooter

SHOOTS GREAT AS DEPENDABLE AS A GLOCK BUT SHOOTS SMOTHER

Have an d 4" in .40 and love it! Accurate, clean trigger and fits my hand perfectly! Best Pistol I have ever bought!

I have the Springfield.45 ACP version of this gun. I carry it when i'm off duty. This is a sweet shooting gun.

This firearm is very accurate and can fire in all conditions and stay on target.

For such a small pistol it is very accurate and reliable, also it is very concealable

One of the best firearms I have shot! Fits in the hand perfectly, the balance of the firearm with the magazine gives a very nice feel. Very accurate right out of the box!

This is hands down the best line of handguns that one can purchase for the money. Think of it as a Glock with better ergonomics and a grips safety. Love them, have 3.

Love it! Absolutely the best of the many weapons I have fired. I have owned one since 05 and I have only had one feed issue. I tracked that down to one of the three magazines I got with the weapon. The holster is OK as far as positioning of the weapon on the hip, but to draw is not bad, but I've had better. This is far superior to my M9 I carry with the USAF. Definitely recommend it.

I have owned mine for 3 yrs now its sent about 5000 rounds down range with out even a hiccup! I love this gun. it feels just perfect and always seems to be on target!

I love this gun!! I have small hands and it fits perfect. The recoil is almost non-existent. I don't feel like I'm firing a cannon like I do, when I fire a Glock. As for those of you having problems with it rusting, the company can recoat it for you if you contact them. I had mine recoated and have not had a problem since. I also had the springs replaced in the magazines and have never had any ammo jam up in it. Just some suggestions to improve an already awesome gun. My only complaint is the fact I can't find a decent holster for it. Any suggestions out there?

Luv, Luv, Luv this side arm. I traded my Sig P226 9mm for this weapon. It fits my hand better(I have small hands), has a lot less kick than the Sig and shoots much smoother. Its my favorite "cocktail" other than 1800 Gold! Just as good as the Sig or Glock(lots more kick), but easier to use.

Best gun un the market hands down. In my opinion anyway. I love this gun, my range scores increased by 10 points between this gun and a glock. It fits your hand so naturally the ergonomics of this gun are wonderfull. Go to the range with your gun, rent this one, shoot them both and you will prob leave your gun there.

Well made weapon feels good when gripped

friend of my purchased one to use for his job showed it to me and like how it felt in my hand and i like the features it has the only problem is i'm left handed other wise i may have given 5 stars for this firearm.

i carry this as my duty firearm. i believe the XD should be carried by all officers. the gun is extremely accurate and the safety features make it even better.

I love this pistol so much I bought 3-40cals, 1-9mm standard and 1-9mm subcompact, 1-45cal. This is the best pistol I have carried. I carry this as a security officer on ships and on land. I recommend this to all security and LEO.

I was looking for a new pistol for home protection when i came accross the XD 40... i held it and it felt like a perfect fit. when i finally got my very own and shot it for the first time i knew that i was correct that this is one heck of a firearm!!!! the only thing i dont understand is where is the key that will "lock-down" the gun in a non-operational state as said above? my firearm did not come with a key, nor did the dealer know of this. however if any one knows please email me @
a.schneider@casscomm.com
i would greatly appreciate it, thanx.

I own it and I like it because Its been tested just as much or more then the glock its recoil isn't bad. It is safe and ergonomaclly correct also an accurate firearm as well, and I recomend it to anyone who loves to shoot.

I just LOVE my XD 40, you could not have asked for a better handgun. I jus finish 8 yaers as a Military Police Officer and after useing a M 9 for all those years, the XD 40 blows it away. This by far is and has been the best handgun I've ever owned. My wife even loves it. I was sceptical at first but it didn't take long to fall in love with the way it shoots or how well it hits in my hand. I think I need the 3" model to keep my service model company. You wouldn't go wrong with the Springfield XD 40, IT ROCKS!!!

I found one at the Gun show and loved it. Ill be getting one soon. just have to get some $$ HEHEh you know whin you pick up and gun and it just fits.. that is this gun... even the wife loved it..

If you give a Glock 22/23 better ergonomics, higher accuracy, a better safety system, and make it practically ambidextrous and you've got the XD40. It's been a great competition gun and the research shows it performs just as well as the Glocks in torture tests. The firearm is a bargain with respectable quality.

I had he oportunity to test this pistol when my agency decided to transition from Sig to something a little less expensive. I didn't really expect to like this weapon but I was absolutely wrong. This is one of the sweetest shooting handguns that I have ever had the opportunity to shoot.

Awesome weapon. I carry this for my duty weapon. I have been carring this for a few years now and I love it. Fits my hand perfect. Great gun I highly recommend this weapon.

Just purchased the compact in 40 cal. Outstading firearm! Very impressed... Highly recommend if your in the maket for a new handgun.

I own the 40 service model V-10 version (Ported Version). LOVE IT!! THE ONLY complaint i have is that I have have two bad magazines (OEM) that originally came with the gun . . .. it mis-feeds on the second to last bullet and its identical on both of the mags. FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS > > THE GUN IS NICE!!!!

"Awsome Weapon"

Just bought an XD40, the subcompact version. I put a couple of hundred rounds through it this weekend, to get a feel for the new gun. I just was wondering if anyone has experienced something I was curious about.......
Every single round I put through the gun this weekend had a drag mark on the spent casing, where the pin struck the primer, and drug against it, as the casing was being ejected i believe. I have never encountered this before on any other gun, and it concerns me slightly. Please email and let me know what you have to say, jarrod.norman@gmail.com

Love this firearm, all you have to do is point and shoot and you will hit your target it is just a acurate pistol.

I have never fired a better handgun yet... Im in Marine Recon so I have fired a few different weapons in my short time in and cant be more satisfied with this weapon... Easy to take apart and even easier to clean... Have never had any malfunctions with this weapon... Proud owner and plan to own another XD hopefully soon.

I have been a range safety officer since graduating college in 2004 and instruct all levels of students in the private sector. I have found that this firearm is extremely user friendly, points well, and has a managable recoil in 40 S&W. This pistol comes with 2 hi cap mags, a paddle holster, mag loader, mag holster, cleaning kit and hard case. Not many pistols can compete with the price or overall function of this weapon. As far as accuracy is concerned, you can break 4" clay targets with the 4" barrel in .40 at 100 yards with little practice. Not too bad for a tactical pistol. It seems a little top heavy at first, but after firing, this extra weight helps keep the muzzle down for faster follow up shots.

awesome handgun, i will be purchasing the XD-40 subcompact for off duty carry...although the side holster that comes with is a lil crappy

One nice firearm.

One of the best handguns I have ever used, what a smooth operating weapon

I have had this gun for a couple months now and it is just great. I love the feel and sights, the trigger pull and the safety. It is the first handgun I have bought and I wasn't disappointed.

Very nice weapon. I like the XD better than the glock. It is a smooth shooting weapon.

i have one and love it

In one standing, I spent 1000 rounds through the gun without a single problem except for overheating. superb handling, less recoil than most 40 cal. feels comfortable. Excellent weapon!!!!

This is an excelent firearm for the price and reliability!

this gun has an awsome fill to it an shot exceptionaly....

i carey one on duty and love mine put over 700 ronds thro it

This is the first handgun I have owned. Its easy to shoot and easy to handle. Love it!

Excellent trigger pull, very accurate at 25 yds! Highly Recommend this pistol.

Has the performance of the Glock with better ergonomics and a far superior trigger pull. Excellent pistol.

i carry the xd 45acp as my off duty weapon this gun handles,and peforms excellent it's lightweight,has excellent trigger pull it has a good feel to it when you are firing this weapon.i would recomend this to anyone who is looking for a large cal.firearm to carry.

On my second time out with my new XD-40, I qualified along with the city police dept on their annual qualifying day. Lucky for me, this gun made me look good, as I was not the lowest scoring shooter there that day!

This firearm is awsome! I t shoots great, it has a real smooth trigger pull.

Great Weapon

I love this gun in 9mm also, best gun around next to my Glock 30

This is a gun I woulld recommend any one looking to buy a semi auto. A state trooper friend of mine encouraged me to try the XD. After taking his advice I fired it several times at the range. Seeing how accurate and how well it fit my hand, how well it handled and shot with the 357sig version, I decided to buy one. I got the 40S&W since the store did not have any 357Sig variant for sale. I will drop in the 357 sig barrel from midway as soon as it arrives. I got the 4" version for CC in the hotter months here in Vegas. Although I still carry my S&W1911 45 ACP most of the time with my trusty 38 snub. The XD is a great alternative to a Glock, Sig, and H&K.

have this in 40 & 45 love the twins!!!
45 has a manual saftey for L&L carry
dead on at 40+ ft
double spring has little recoil,eats a box of shells in a half hour or less if u brought a reloader guy.

OOOOO..........BABY

this is the first pistol i have owned. i absolutly love it. shoots great and breaking it down takes 10 seconds literally. i recomend this gun to everyone. i thought it be too big of a concealment gun but its perfect. was looking at the new xd m's also but the extension for the bigger clip just didnt feel right in my hand. this gun feels like it was made specifically for my hand.

Im a big fan of the XD series of firearms and with the new XD(M) out they will continue to be one of my favorite handguns. The XD40 features the old 1911 style safety and a trigger style safety much of us recognize from Glock. I also like the fact that you can look at the weapon and tell wether it is cocked and loaded or not. There is a cocked weapon indicator at the rear of the slide and a chambered round indicator on top of the slide just behind the barrel. This is good for several common sense reasons but I like to paint the picture that if its 3 AM and you are awaken by strange sounds coming from your living room and you know thetre shouldnt be, you reach for the XD on the night stand and can feel with your thumb that its cocked and there is a round in the chamber, then you can now investigate what goes bump in the night knowing that you are locked, cocked and ready to rock.

I love this weapon and have the sub compact version but since I work for a glock only department, I can only admire it at home. I wish my department would give this amazing gun a chance.

I carried this as a duty weapon for 3yrs and never had a single problem. Great weapon

I own this gun and use it for personal protection as well as off-duty and on-duty plus my wife can use the gun as well it is that simple and safe.

GREAT WEAPON

This is my first handgun, I like all of the safety features. It fires well not alot of recoil or lift, it reloads easily. It's a good product.

This is the only handgun I own that I truly trust my life with... it was a sad day when the department gave me my G22

TO ME the XD is out standing.

Absolutely love this weapon. The feel and accuracy is outstanding. Chose this over the GLOCK, and will do the same on any day. Can't wait until I can test fire the new XDm. I will be purchasing more the XD line of weapons in the future. The one thing that I don't like about the XD is the finish. Wears off to easily, and the slightest bit of moisture and you will know it. But still the best weapon I own or have owned. Hands down the greatest.

i bought one of these 2 days ago and i love to shoot it. the first day i stayed at the shooting range for 8 hours just to shoot this gun. it is well priced as well.

This is the best Firearm that i have ever used. It make glock look like a taurus. I have an xd40.

Great weapon, very little felt recoil, quick follow up shots and in my opinion just a great all around pistol.

its safe,shoots great,good price and a lifetime warranty. compact with accuracy thats takes a lickin and keeps on tickin

Never had a single problem with this weapon. Love it.

Although I haven't had the oppertunity to fire the XD-40, I have fired the XD-45 and loved it. If this 40 cal is anything like it's bigger brother, I'm sure I'll love it too.

I just bought the new XDM- .40. It's an awesome gun! Real light and easy to handle, especially for smaller hands like mine. Would recommend for amyone

I consider this pistol one of the best by far. I was always a glock owner, but know i have the .40 S&W service model XD. It is much like a glock but it has more safety to it. It has more features than a glock. Two in one feature is visually without pulling back on the slide you can tell if the weapon is cocked & loaded. The best feature by far for me is on the back of the grip where the pistol has an extension that goes in when your hand is on it, this deactivates your safety. Just like the glock, it has a smooth loading and break down.

This is my off duty weapon and I have been very happy with it!

Great firearm, very accurate. I actually prefer this over Glock.

Very balanced, weight well distributed

good product handles great in all types of weather

handles nice. BUT after a couple hundred rounds at academy, hangs up over and over. To the point of not qualify a score.

I own the 40 cal. I love this gun! Everything about it is great! Great balance, great feel! This is what I plan on carrying for my service weapon after completing the academy.

So far I've shot three different .40's ... a Sig 226, a Glock 22 and this Springfield XD.

The Springfield was hands down the easiest to shoot and handle. The Sig was heavy and tough to manage for myself as a novice shooter. The Glock was better, but pulled left because the grip was just a tad to big for my hands. Once I shot the XD, I knew I had found a great weapon.

It has a solid feel, great balance and an excellent trigger pull. I'm not saying anything bad about the other two guns, but for me, the Springfield was top notch. I really couldn't find anything to complain about on it other than having to pull the trigger to field strip.

Why that doesn't count against it in my ranking is that the slide has to be locked to the rear before that trigger is pulled. That decreases the chance of an accident to near nil since you are forced to recognize if there is still ammo in the weapon.

The bottom line on the weapon is that it shoots great and is easy to control. When under stress, that is what matters.

I bought an XD-9 last year and liked it pretty well with the only exception being the grip. I looked around for a slip on grip but was able to find on. SInce then, a new XD-M has came out with several improvements including the grips.

Has anyone tried the XD-M yet? I would consider getting another one in a 40 if the grips were significantly better. XD-M is a bit pricey though.

im in the academy right now. 2 of the recruits chose this as their duty weapons. the staff kinda chuckled when they saw them but function checked them and allowed them on the range. to date, one recruit has changed his weapon completely and the other is waiting for a new one. i have never felt sick to my stomach as i was when i saw this gun jam so many times. both were new. both jammed numerous times in the hands of instructors....DO NOT BUY THIS GUN!!!! get a glock. that said ...hk is good but parts are expensive and customer service has sucked for many years..... they also dont like berettas because of the refusal to update the de-cocking location...ummmm what else.... i think thats it. combined the staff has over 200 years experience. some have worked for companies, all have been in real life shootings....take it for what its worth.... also, this is the orange county sheriffs department in california. ask anyone.. it IS the best.

I don't have the XD-40 but I own the XD-9 sub-compact, other than there a little wide there a great weapon, shoots well, is accurate, has a nice full grip, I use mine for a back up weapon, but I believe the XD-40 or the XD-9 would make good duty or back up weapons.

Great weapon. The first time I picked it up it felt very comfortable in my hand. Good point of aim, no malfunctions or other problems. Very accurate. The higher magazine capacity in the new .40 cal. XD(m) is a plus.

PERFECT DEFENCE GUN !!!!!!!!!!

I have used the Glock 21 for 10yrs and had recently tried the Springfield my Range Oficer had
the heavey front end is great I was dropping steel targets clear across the range freehand. I have since switched to this model and love it

Very nice weapon. I don't like the saftey.

i love this handgun. i fired .40s before and my hand felt numb afterwards but this handgun is solid and comfortable.

Although I have the full size service model pistol, it doesn't have a full size feel to it! It's an awsome pistol that is also quite light! I have not had a single problem with it and is super easy to break down and put together. Nope, no complaints here!!!!

I had a Glock and I got the Springfield XD-40!

I got rid of the Glock!

My shooting score went up right away, it is smoother and works so much better. Glock may have been better before the XD came out, but no longer.

Might have to buy one for the other hand, it is getting jealous.

I initially bought the XD 5" tactical .40 cal out of economic necessity. It has performed flawlessly and is very accurate. Easy to strip and clean. Only drawback is that I am a lefty and finding a duty holster for it is a challenge

I BOUGHT THIS GUN FROM A FRIEND ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS ALL BUT GIVING IT AWAY. I HAD NO THOUGHT OF CARRING IT ON DUTY AS I LOVED MY H&K USP; HOWEVER, AFTER SHOOTING THE WEAPON FOUND THAT IT HAD A VERY FAST ACTION AND WAS DEAD ON IN THE POINT AND SHOOT.

I love my XD and I am now looking at buying the XD-M just because I am so happy with the performance of the one I have

Great reliable handgun wife and I both carryone never have problems with failure to feeds like glock

When I carry, this is my weapon of choice. This pistol is idiot-proof. In other words, this gun has 5 safety features so that it will not fire and cannot be fired unless it is properly handled. I use a Blackhawk Serpa CQ holster for this weapon. I fired a Hi-Point 9mm for a while (anyone that has used one will know that it is a heavy pistol). I find that there is less recoil with the XD versus the Hi-Point Compact. Right out of the box this firearm will shoot a 1" to 2" grouping at 21 ft (7 yds). I went for about 3 weeks without cleaning my XD and it did not have any trouble firing. Anyone who wants a reliable firearm that is safe and afforadable can depend on the Springfield XD.

I've owned one of these since it first came out. It's a 3" Compact for concealed carry. It feels good, it's accurate, very dependable, and very deadly in the right hands. It's my choice of firearm. This fire arm is ideal in my opinion as a duty weapon, military, and personal protection.

I bought the XD .40 Sub Compact to use in the POST. I am left handed so the Ambidextrious Mag release is great. Having shot Glocks (without ambidextrious release) it was nice to have the ability to perform speed reloads with ease.

The Mags however, I would like if they came with polymer casing like the Glock Mags. I was having problems with the rounds failing to move up the slide and into the barrel, after stripping the gun and inspecting it I found there was nothing wrong with it. So I looked at the Mag and it was very slightly bent at the top which was causing the rounds to load slightly canted to the right and catching on the corrner of the slide.

I would highly recommend this gun for concealed carry or back up (sub compact) or for on-duty (standard legnth) or for anyone who wants a good reliable gun without spending a ton of money.

I bought the 5' tactical and will be a Springfileder for life. Flawless operation, easy to Strip, Accuracy and Reliablity iare second to none. in the price range. I use the Blackhawk serpa CQ holster and always with me on trips into the city.

The XD is a very dependable firearm. I have shot thousands of rounds through mine with no malfunctions.

It is a good firearm. I carry it on duty. I like that it has the grip safety feature not offered on the Glock.

I own this firearn and I highly reccomend it. It well balanced and reliable.

I have owned and carried this firearm now for 6 years and have absolutely nothing bad to say about. It is accurate, has never malfunctioned, and is comparable to the Glock 23.

Pulled it out of the box and qualified that day

this weapon is one of which i carry as primary, equal weight perfect firing

i have had this wepon for 4.5 years carried it for 3.5 years on duty and fired about 20,000 round with no malfunctions. it is a great gun.

Have it, love it, criminals will hate the effects of it!!!

The XD 40 is my off duty carry weapon and I love this gun!! Accurate, Tough, Reliable, Light Weight...what more could you ask for???? My only regret is that I can't carry it for my Duty Weapon!

I have been carrying this gun for about three years and have not had any problems whith its operation. I just ordered a Springfield XDM and hope it is as good.

I love this pistol. I was a die hard GLOCK fan, and still like my older G23, however, I really like the feel and control I have had with this gun. Easy to shoot, accurate and easy to clean. Got my monies worth.

I have the sub compact 40 and love it. I conceal it under a loose shirt with the black hawk serpa holster.

I OWN A TACTICAL 40, THE NEW XDM 40 AND THE NEW XDM 9MM, NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM AN XD FAN. THESE ARE THE MOST ACCURATE HAND GUNS I HAVE EVER SHOT. ONE OF THESE IS ALWAYS ON ME OFF DUTY. WON"T GET CAUGHT WITHOUT ONE.

i have a xd 9 sub compact this is my choice carry weapon. very accurate, recoil is great, easily concealed

This is my personal weapon and I love shooting it more than my duty weapon , Glock 22. I have never had any problems with my Springfield. The one feature I love is the mag release because it can be released on either side. This is great for lefts like me.

I enjoy shooting this gun! I never had a problem when I am out on the range!

One of the best handguns I have ever fired and still own. The weapon is made to comfortably fit a large hand and fires round after round flawlessly and on point. The only beef I had with the weapon is I purchased the first models released by Springfield (2004) and the finish on it did not last long. After being handled day after day and useing it often the blueing seemed to be of fragile nature. However I just had it coated with "Dura Coat" and the weapon looks brand new. One of my most favorite weapons and will not part with it any time soon.

I absolutely love my XD. I have the Springfield XD-357 sig and it is absolutely the best handgun I have ever fired. Very accurate and smooth. Put countless rounds through it and never had a jam or any problems. Definetely a gun to add to your personal arsonal. I am fixing to add the Veridian green laser sight to it. Which actually is made for the XD.

We have been issued this weapon and I have run some personal testing and I like it so far. I will update this review after having carried it for a while.

Excellent weapon. Fires really good, and for me theirs really not too much of a kick to it, and it fits very nicely into my hand. I would recommend this to my fellow officers to have on and off duty.

I retired from the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department, N.M. after 20yrs. and I am now with the Greenville Police Department, Al. where I have been for 17yrs. During that time I have carried all kinds of weapons. I have receantly pursched a XD40. I was very surprised when I fired it for the first time. The way the weapon handled was great. It is very durable and felt great in my hand. The recoil was the same as the 9mm Glock. Another thing that I liked is you know when the weapon has one chambered because there is a rocker bar
on top of the slide that will rock up when chambered. When the weapon is cocked, a pin at
the back will be out. ITS GREAT.....GM

I was looking for something practical, simple, and safe. I found it all in this product. Sometimes hard to find duty gear for it but new products are coming out all the time. Never jammed and has never failed me yet.

I love this gun. I shot it a quite a few times (a friend of mine owns it) and it was a very accurate, reliable firearm. I just went to purchase one a few months back and ended up leaving with the XD-m .40 and WOW! It's everything you could ever want in a weapon. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to everyone!

very good weapon, the only problem that i, have encountered with this weapon is the firing pin mechaninsm, which has had too be changed two times.

The movement is very smothe and hand fit is great although I still prefer Glock products to anything else.

greatest gun ever. ambidexterious, smooth and easy assembly and disassembly,accurate ,comfortable. I could go on forever. GLOCK wishes it could be this perfict.

Smooth!

I thought I'd Never give up my Glock! But; look out! This is the safest pistol I've ever used; even my old 1911 can't compare!
And, I'm a lefty! Great Job, Springfield!

This weapon will digest any round you put through it, from golden sabre's to hydra-shok, I have never had a jam. Accurate and easy to use, at a great price-point.

This is absolutely the best pistol I have ever owned for fired. Plan to keep this for as long as it lasts

First of all, I haven't seen this gun for sale new anywhere for the above price. The cheapest I have seen is $680!! Second, it is simply a Glock that is advertised as a Springfield. The gun is really kind of ugly and very square and blocky. The grip is large and blocky as well, uncomfortable with the hard diamond checkered grip, and you will need to buy hogue or pachmyar to change that. Not good for small hands. Personally, I do not like the fact that you have to pull the trigger and release the pin to take-down the gun for cleaning. Again...Glock-ish. Obviously it would be operator error, but the potential for a misfire is there. The accuracy wasn't bad, but not great either. I haven't had one jam, but a lot of others have. This gun is definitely overpriced for what you get. You want a deal on a gun, get an M&P!!!

Has this been issued as a primary weapon to any PD's out there?

As a former LE tactical squad member I have used Sig, H&K , Glock as well as others. I have much respect for the Sig Sauer and H&K products -their engineering is excellent however in some types of climates ie salty air, extreme mud/sand they can suffer,..I have owned 2 springfield xd's and found them to be better all around after stringent testing to all others. The XD is more robust internally, extremely accurate and reliable.

My Glock 22, for me, is the "perfect weapon" when it comes to handguns. However, my friend purchased an XD .40 not too long ago and I have fired hundreds of rounds through it. Ergonamically, the fit is great. My only complaint is the balance. It could be better. I love the fact that Springfield "borrowed" Glock and Sig design for this gun, but they could have added the Glock balance too. Otherwise, a fantastic gun.

Great gun to add to any collection or to have on your side>

One of the best guns I have used.

I own the XD-40 and I'll tell you what, Glock lovers. This gun will give the Glock a run for its money. It helps people learn how to hold the pistol with its comfortable handle. Its smooth shooting with great accuracy. I love the XD-40 and would be a great gun for first time shooters. Glock did pave the way for the polymer frame pistols so its time to upgrade to XD lol.

Awsome, enough said!

This is one of my off duty guns. I find its a lot smoother than the Glock 22 I'm issued, though its heavier.

I've owned my 4" XD-40 for about 2 years now. I've got about 2000 rnds through it and have experienced very few malfunctions. I would choose an XD over a Glock and day of the week. It is an extremely accurate gun. One nice feature is the stainless mags. This is a great improvement over the Glock's polymer coated mags. Over all, the XD is a great gun. Even my fiance loves to shoot it.

Great design and concept! I love the point and shoot ability of this firearm as well! The Armory has my pick over glock any day of the week!

I find it to be a great weapon. I have shot many rounds and it has not jam on me yet.

I had carried a Glock 22 for several years. I was impressed with its durability and effectiveness. The Springfield is even more impressive. I love the weight of the weapon, as well as the ability to get back on target with little or no effort. Kudos to the manufacturer. Very impressive.

This firearm is definately top notch. It was my first firearm and I am so glad I got it. It fires extremely well. It has an ergonomic grip that fits comfortably in my hand. Even as a .40 it has less recoil then other .40's I have shot. I love the firing pin indicator and loaded chamber indicator because it gives you the ability to know if you are locked and loaded just by touching it with or without looking at the gun. Definately worth investing in one of these torture tested, hard working, reliable, proven firearms.

I have this in the compact and it is my favorite concealed carry piece. Always feeds, always on target and I love teh loaded indicator and the cocked indicator. great for by teh bedside at night as I can just feel and ensire that we are ready to play

Great gun, but if you want something that's almost the same but that'll work every time, go with Glock.

Just got raid of mine for a glock 22. The XD .40 wasnt to bad but after shooting my friends glock i had to buy a glock

Great gun

Great gun dependable, acurate and fun to shoot.

Good target gun and fun to shoot, but I would't bet my life on it.

I own/carry the 40SW with 4in barrel. I absolutely love this firearm! I have put well over 3000 rounds through it with only ONE jam!!! It just so happened to jam when after firing the first round off in a defense situation. I truly beleive that the only reason it jammed was because i had tofire it upside down at point blank range. The one shot is all I needed though because the 40 caliber round is such an efficient round that does the job! I am a lefty so the ambi mag release is a wonderful feature! The xd 40 is also extremely easy to breakdown and clean out.

this is a great product

My first time ever shooting was with this gun, and I scored a 98.4% accuracy rating.
