Hey,
Anyone doing anything with the Springfield XD in .357 Sig, either in the 4" or 5" bbl?

Just wondering?

I handled one today for the first time and I was impressed! I carried Glocks off duty and as a backup (to the issue Beretta) for several years and found the Springfield the same - only better! And cheaper! With a more familiar grip angle.

I'm looking hard for one. They're as scarce as 17HMR ammo lately.

Thanks,
I'm finding some in AR in 4", but as of yet, none in my choice of 5"

Need to shoot one before deciding!

I had a 9mm HS2000 (that was the name for it before it got new owners and a marketing makover,) and mine was flawless, and very accurate. I'd opt for it over the Glock anyday.  I don't like the safety issues of having a Simi auto with no manual safety, but the grip safety worked well.
