Springfield Armory's XD series

[Slater]

This is one handgun that I've personally never fired or even handled, although it seems to be selling reasonably well. The series seems to have quite a few variants. I wouldn't put it on the same level as Glock or H&K, but how does it fare in the usual categories of accuracy, reliability, and durability?

They are decent guns, IMHO, for guys getting into to shooting. But not duty grade weapons. YMMV, best of luck.

I own one. Wouldn't hesitate to use it for self defense. Good guns, 1911 grip angle and backstop safety. Not as much aftermarket support like glock. I prefer to shoot my Glocks over my XD.

If your use to shooting a glock like I am, there is a learning curve to shot the XD's. At least it was for me cause of the grip angle.

I don't c why u wouldn't use a XD for duty use. I'm sure it's just as reliable as most plastic guns.

Like many guy my age (thirties) the XD was my first pistol. It was actually a good gun, despite the poo poo flinged at it here. I've since moved on to companies with better reputations.

Aaron Cowan at Sage dynamics has reported 20 or so breaking in classes. To the point they were unserviceable on-site. He’s got a post of it on IG that I can’t find at the moment.

I had a XD45 years ago..it was a POS. Would not feed anything other than RN bullet. High bore axis, and not all that accurate, I had a SA milspec, at the time that shot rings around the XD45, and, was alot more reliable.. It would for example feed, fire, eject cases loaded with a LSWC, all day long, while the XD choked on them.I understand they've made some changes since then, but, still I'd never own one again, there's simply too many better options for the same money..

I had a XDM 45 that would not shoot HP rounds. It shot ball just fine however. My XDs was good to go with whatever but I did not enjoy shooting 45 in that small of a gun.

I'm looking at either a Springfield XD Mod 2 Tactical (5 inch barrel) or a CZ P-10F (full size). The CZ is more expensive but might be the better option.

I bought mine XDM 45 back in 2010 or 11. So far I've had no issues with it.
But I plan on moving on with companies with better reputation.
