Sweet! I'm planning on picking up one as soon as I can get my hands on one locally.
Let me know what you think once you shoot it

Will do, but busy with work so it might take a few more weeks

Yep, cant wait to put a few hundred rounds through it

Love the P238 so I hope this is just as accurate and comfortable to shoot, it feels really good in the hand.

I like the 238 too, I have not fired one (it gets a little lost in my hand), very curious how comfortable it is. It is very small for a 9mm

12+1 in the chamber. You have no idea how much this mag changes the gun, it make it feel 1000% better in your hand with it being a subcompact.

PS: I've been meaning to update it a bit, I'll get on it

Nice, does the extension make the grip as long as a full size?

My problem shooting the compact XD was the grip was to short and didn't feel comfortable in my hand.

Coding@DetailAddict · 07-25-2012, 01:37 PM

That was my beef with those little guns... to much pressure on my pink from the small grip and little lip on the magazine.
That mag looks like a great solution... for those outside of california

The new mag makes it feel like the gun was made for your hand. I haven't shot an actual XD40 so I can't say for sure, but my guess is it feels very similar but just with a shorter barrel. Love the way it feels when firing.

Good to hear. I liked the XD's over the Glocks I've shot. When it comes to modern handguns H&Ks are still my favorite.

When I purchased my USP compact I was completely content. It more then filled my conceal, and home defense needs. It was even enjoyable on the range and in IDPA matches. Then I read your guys posts on 1911s and I shot some friends' 1911s. Now I REALLY want one... I can't believe something designed 100+ years ago STILL is more accurate and crisp then anything else I've shot. I blame you guys for giving me the 1911 bug, lol.

I still haven't shot one, but I'm going to get one in a few week. Most likely at the gun show when it comes into town. I have the 1911 bug too, dont feel bad.

Be very careful. You have no idea how deep that rabbit hole goes.

See above ^

I have owned no less that 16 1911s over the years. I am currently at 7, each of which is well over $1,000.00. And I have two more on the list to get. These ones are REALLY expensive.

I am teetering on the edge of a SCAR17 about 3 large here in CA, good 1911 money. I don't know what my problem is, I have not even taken my AR to the range yet.

immiketoo · 07-25-2012, 04:26 PM

Just buy it. Then go shoot both. Sell the one you don't like to me

Do you have any experience with Ithaca 1911s?

The guys at my local gun store/smith swear by them. He said, "They are better then Ed Browns and half the price($1700). We took one fresh out of the box and put 100 rounds of Blazer Aluminum thru it with a 2" grouping and no hiccups.". The gun feels great, the slide is smooth as glass and the trigger crisp and very responsive. Unfortunately, they didn't have a used one so I couldn't put any rounds thru it.
