Congrats! I've shot the XD45 on quite a few occasions, and it's a blast.. Need some advice about owning a gun? Treat it as loaded ALL THE TIME!! Gun ownership is a HUGE responsibility, and not to be taken lightly.. That's why it's good you're asking questions.. Keep it clean.. Check for wear.. Lock it up.. Those are the basics.. Buy ammo NOW!! The 9mm is a NATO round so there is plenty of it, but prices are going up.. Sportsmansguide.com and Cheaperthandirt.com are some good sites for bulk ammo.. Ask the guys at your local range for tips regarding your weapon and shooting in general, I'm sure they'll be glad to help you.. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.. Be careful bud, Arizona is on the frontlines lately!!

Don't go Jeepin' too close to the border!! We'll hear about you goin MIA.. BE CAREFUL!! BTW the Mossberg 500 12 guage is a GREAT weapon for home defense.. They hear you racking it, they'll vacate mighty quick!!

I own 2 XD's and I love them. The first, my XD 40 Tactical, I purchased in 2002. I lost count of how many thousands of rounds I have put through it but I have never had one problem. The second, my XD 40 sub compact, I purchased a little over a year ago. I have around 500 rounds through it so far and it has been just as good as my first.
They really are great weapons that don't get the respect they deserve. You made a great choice in the XDM! :thumbsup

My next handgun is going to be a Kimber 1911.. A lil pricey, but oh so BEAUTIFUL!! I already have a Sig Sauer and a Glock both chambered in 9mm.. Just want to get something bigger.. My Jeep needs some more mods before I go throwing $$ into another gun.

I later decided on an XDM 40. Still waiting to purchase it though.I've also been looking at the XDM's though. I wouldn't mind a 3rd XD.
