    Bought it today at Bradis around 11:00...apparently missed the frenzy when they opened at 10! Very smooth transaction, as always. :rockwoot: Then went to ITP to put 100 rounds through it...flawless. :D

    Congrats, my wife has one and at the range I can never pry it out of her hands to even fire off a couple of rounds. She can hit anything she aims at, too. VERY accurate.

    Congrats! Love my XD9SC!

    Word to the wise, don't dry fire it a lot or you will shear the roll pin. (Speaking from experience here.) Aside from that, have yet to have an issue with mine.

    Thanks everyone! I loved shooting it...and it was very accurate. I can't wait to go back to the range. I haven't bought any self defense ammo yet for it. Any recommendations?

    You will like the longer magazines with the sleeve for a better grip on the pistol and more bang time for practice. Look for the UpLULA Magazine Loader for a must get option. Your thumb will thank you.

    Thankfully, I did buy a magazine loader. Not sure I could have loaded the mags without one!! I will probably pick up some Hornady Critical Defense ammo Wednesday. That's what I use in my other guns.
