Purchased my first handgun today!

[balorg]

Here is it everyone!!!

A Springfield XD-40 Sub-Compact!!!

I can't wait to take it to the range to practice in preparation for my basic pistol course in September!!

 

[groovatron]

Agh yes....the first of many! Congrats on the new pistol. And way to make a responsible decision to take classes.

 

[derrickgoins]

Congratulations. The XD is a smart choice. Good call on getting training so that you learn how to handle and carry in a safe fashion.

congrats bro

Congrats...and welcome to the dark side! The .40 is a great choice for a first handgun. Learn everything you can about shooting and safety, personal protection laws, carry 'do's-n-don'ts, and enjoy!!!

Congrats! XDs are good.

Congrats! And good on ya for signing up for classes. This may be a silly question, but in case it isn't; have you obtained your LTCH yet? As ridiculous as the law is, IC 35-47-2-2 states that you can't take your gun to the range for practice until you have your LTCH. I only ask because when I purchased my first handgun 20 some years back I was NOT aware of this fact. Might save you an unpleasant encounter during a range spot check by an LEO having a bad day.

I have my LTCH. Thank you though for asking.

Congrats, I'm sure you'll enjoy the XD! I like my XD, but it's only the beginning!

 

[jsharmon7]

Congrats on the new XD! They are great pistols and the sub-compact will be great for carry!

 

[IndyGunSafety]

I have it on good authority he got his new XD from some shady character. You didn't tell me it was your first handgun!! Congrats!

 

[johnb62]

Great. The first one will always be the one you remember best. Here's to many more.

 

[chef larry]

Good luck with your XD.40c. Be careful as you can't have just one, I have five of the XD's and always looking for something different. You will see that you need a new and improved model.

Congrats on your first! An XD 9 service model was my first handgun, and I love it. Excellent decision, IMO. You'll find that XD will really want a friend to hang out with, so good luck shopping for your next one.

Yes I know! I can't imagine that shady character actually sold it to me. What was he thinking?!

Thank you again for the good price on it!

Xd's are good, but the SC's are a bit chunky. They look like a fat chick, in a halter top. I had a Xd .40, but sold in last week. It was my main carry gun for two years. I never had a single malfunction. It ate everything I fed it. Post a range report when you can!

Congrats!
