    Thoughts on the Springfield Armory XDM .40

    Saw one today at Outdoor world and fell in love with it. Ive never fired one tho. Ive really only ever fired S&W MP line of hand guns.
    Ma che cazzo state dicendo? :|

        XD's are great, I am not really a fan of the 40 in general, but so long as it fits you well and it points naturally and well for you go for it. Only thing I would say is that shoot a fed different makes in different calibers too get a feel for what fits you well and what you like in general

            should ask the question in the guns thread. There are a lot of pages to search everyone would take a long time.

                  The XD line is nice, good shooters, durable, accurate. I'm not a 40 fan in anything other than a full size with some weight but, its a decent round.

                      yes its a toned back 10mm

                      I dont like the muzzle flip and the "snappyness" of the recoil of that round.

                        No a 38 is stronger than a 40. 10mm is about middle of 9 and 45.

                          Hmmm I always thought 38 was the predecessor to the 40 of law enforcement since SW made both famous.

                            That was not due to power it was due to the cartridge. 38 you are about limited to a 6 shot weapon where as the 40 you can find guns holding 15.

                            The 9mm was the replacement but people complained about the power of the 9mm. So the 40 was the bastard child offering about the same round count as the 9mm and a bit stronger.

                            40 has stuck around and it picked up, making it more mainstream. Now its about as popular as the 9mm and the 45.
