New XD40...what a difference!

[Sirshredalot]

Wow...

I just picked up my new(to me) XD40sc, slapped in the 12 round(can only fit 11) mag and let her rip...

A LOT snappier than my 9mm or .45...was really shocked...so was my brother.

Might just be that the gun is small and light...came back on target very quickly and easily though.

Shoots really nice....mag release is very hard to push without changing my grip though...anyone have advice on this one?

God bless

I really like mine. My brother bought a little bersa .40 and while the size and weight are pretty close to the same, the bersa is WAY snappier and harder to maintain target with.

SA mags can be a pain sometimes to fill. When the mag is full and in the gun. Push up on the mag then hit the release. If it's too snappy for you, Look into getting a Solid guide rod

Push up on the mag then hit the release

This will solve your 'difficult to release mag' issue, it's how I solved it.

Apply upward pressure to the bottom of the magazine with your offhand to relieve some of the tension on the magazine catch and hit the mag release, it'll pop right out. Should you have to do this? No. But it makes the process easier when you need it to.

Alright...pushing up on the mag base does make it considerably easier to drop the mag...thanks for the input...this is my first .40...I think I like it.

God bless

Solid guide rod really help much? Thought about another trigger cause gun requires very good control.

Very nice handgun!

I picked up a new XDM .40 in trade and they are great guns!

What bullet weight are you shooting? The lighter loads that I tried kicked like a mule but all the 180s have some snap but are easy to shoot. And there is a school of thought that the heavy for caliber bullets have more momentum and keep on plowing into the target after the lighter, faster ones have stopped.

Shoot a glock and xd side by side, the difference in recoil is noticeable.

Solid guide rod will help a tinny bit. It will help to keep the nose down. You are better off learning how to keep your forward wrist locked. IMO if you going with new trigger, go with this new drop in. I've installed it in two of mine. About 4.5lbs pull with hardly any over travel. The best part.....No fitting or sanding the sear. Plus they walk you right through it.
