Are XD good guns?

The Springfield Armory XD(M) Competition Series is a seriously great set of guns. It’s highly accurate, extremely reliable, and its streamlined design allows for a balanced, lightweight hold. Whether you are looking for a home defense weapon or need a new competition piece, definitely try out the XD(M).

Is the Springfield 9mm a good gun?

The XD-9 is a great pistol. That’s the bottom line. I don’t like Springfield Armory or their support of gun control and won’t be using my own money to buy this pistol, but this gun is solid all the way through. It’s great for concealed carry, shoots smoothly, and is accurate despite the out-of-the-box sights sucking.

Are Springfield XD pistols any good?

2020: The Springfield XD line of pistols, while remaining a generally good platform, continues with the same flawed design that the company could have resolved years ago. While the guns are popular, they are far from a best in class, or even a best choice, when so many good guns exist, without the problems Springfield continues to allow.

Is the XD-9 a good gun?

(Newer models come with a magazine loader.) The 4-inch duty model XD-9 is surprisingly handy while still being large enough to provide a solid and controllable platform for launching 16+1 rounds of reassurance before reloading. Muzzle flip is negligible.

How good is the XD 45 compared to the 9mm?

The XD has a grip safety like a 1911 style pistol. It gives an added measure of safety when the gun is not gripped firmly and when being inserted into the holster. Accuracy with the Springfield XD .45 has been so-so compared to the 9mm – and yes, that is considering a comparison of me to me (my shooting style and ability with both guns).

How accurate is the XD?

Accuracy is perfectly acceptable at normal defensive handgun ranges and most likely even at extended distances with enough practice. In other words, this is another one of those guns where the gun is more accurate than the shooter. In the roughly 450 rounds I’ve put through the XD, I’ve encountered zero failures to extract or feed-way stoppages.
