Hey, /k/. First time posting here, just got my CCP and looking for a good pistol to carry. Currently interested in a Springfield XD 9mm subcompact mod 2, is that a decent choice or am I a fucking retard?
I've compared it with a Glock 27 subcompact and I like the XD better for the grip safety and the ambidextrous mag release. What do you carry?

I carry a P30. Isn't the G27 a 40? I'd recommend the VP9sk to someone looking for a carry gun, but you should get what you like. If someone on here tries to tell you how their favorite pistol is "better" chances are they're wrong. Hope this isn't a bait thread because it has signs of being one. Good luck on your search if it isn't.

Not a bait thread. You're right though, I meant Glock 26. I guess I'm just trying to get a feel for /k/'s do's and don't's. I really like the XD but I don't know if I'm missing something important that could change my decision.
What's the mag cap on the VP9sk?
>>34100464
10 rounds. You can put normal P30/VP9 15 rounds magazines in it though, you can also put an x-grip on them so they fit flush. I'd rather have a P30sk but you seem like a striker fired fan and they both feel similar in the hand. The VP9 has a less aggressive grip texture than the P30, I always have to wear an undershirt with it.

XDs are gay. Get literally anything else. Get a Glock 26. .40 cal is a dying round.

How odd, my XDS 45 hasn't tried to rape my butt hole even once. Maybe they're not gay after all.

I CCW SR40C and SR9C with backup LCR2.

I've had good luck with my storm lake conversion barrel. Why not be able to shoot both?

I think the Gadget for Glocks executes what the XD tried to do with the grip safety far better.
Springfield XD's aren't as durable as Glocks and the safety poses a huge concern if it does break while the Gadget is completely passive and has gone through extensive testing with no breakages to report.
