My company finally went to 40 auto's from revolvers for duty weapons. I know we were probably the last in the country. Anyways most of the guys got glocks because we get a huge discount (only $425 with night sights and 3 magazines), I own a sub compact glock so I wanted something different and got the XD40. It feels really good in my hand, well balanced, little heavier than the glock. It seems that springfield has just improved upon the glock design. All the internal parts are similar yet larger. Larger slide rails, real steel used instead of plastic in spring rod. I had the problem with ammo getting stuck while trying to cycle up the feed ramp. I thought it was the magazine at first but found it to be the feed ramp had tiny burrs in it. I used a polishing tool with my dremel and smoothed it out real nice. Haven't had a problem since. Acuracy with the fixed sights are excellent, at 25 yrds I can alternate between center mass and head shots through an entire clip at a quick pace. I would recomend this gun.
