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.
