Congrats
Congratulations on your purchase of the XD(M)-9. I am really taken with the quality and performance of Springfield weapons. I am currently trying to sell my XD-45, so I may purchase the XD(M)-40. Maybe I can win the lottery, LOL. I saw a post in My3Cents.com by a gal who had been to a range for a day of shooting, and felt the XD she shot was weird, but allowed that if she got used to it, it might be okay. I informed her that the XD manual of arms is virtually the same as a double action revolver, draw and fire, no safeties to be clicking or flipping when your main goal is surviving. I remember the photo in 'Street Survival,' by Calibre Press, of a young cop lying in the aisle of a store with his hand on his throat, dead of a GSW, because mhe was not yet familiar with his new weapon. MAy you have many great hours with your XD(M).
