The ONLY issue I've ever had with my XD is the stovepipe jam after firing with the magwell empty and one in the chamber. Firing pin should be cleaned periodically by disengaging the pin-block, pushing the pi forward and sliding the plastic guard/firing pin indicator out. Taurus id renowned CRAP from inception until about last year. The 24/7 got some better reviews than anything else. The Judge and the Raging Bull are pretty cool concepts. Resale value is garbage, but as a first buy you can only do worse with a Hi-Point Ghetto Blaster. My first pistol was my XD and that spoiled me to no end. NO GUN I WILL EVER SHOOT will make my hands forget my XD. And I have shot many a handgun. +1 for the call out.
Nope, no problems with mine and no stovepipe jamming either. I've put about 1000 rounds through it, and several different brands too.
@Reno8706: Go with the XD9. You won't regret it.
Owning a .50 AE Desert Eagle in the Unecessary Finish of TiNi Gold, I must advise against dumping a paycheck into this. Every magazine I empty I think, "I could have bought 2 Subway Footlongs with that cash..." My wife won't let me eat Subway alone (*whip crack*).
I think this is where I'm supposed to say "I've drunk more beer and pissed more blood, banged more quiff and busted more ass than all you numb-nuts put together!"
Except I probably haven't...yet. :icon_tong

You are worried about a 9mm 1911 going flying? Huh?
(have shot that size in 45, not THAT bad)

MB,
A&P off of Lynnhaven has a great selection, and I bought a Sig 556 from them. But they absolutely have the most asanine customer service I have ever seen, especially for the indoor range. I've seen Team guys storm out of that place pissed off because they treat you like a retard.
If you're not in a hurry, there's a show next weekend in Hampton:
Sep 20-21 Hampton, Convention Center, SGK, LTD 757-483-5385
This might help you decide:

I guess if I actually paid attention I would have seen the 9 right in fron of my friggin' face. Seems like the fatter your hands are, the harder it is to shoot sub-compact big bore or magnum calibers. It's eaiser for me to shoot my DE than it is to shoot a 2" S&W .38 special. Semantics.
Spelling error. See above. Meaning that the idea that a small gun is more difficult for me to shoot for reasons that are beyond explanation as opposed to the average shooter. A normally harsher weapon is easier for me. Your question has me thinking I used this word incorrectly. If that's the case, I've been using it wrong for a while. The world according to Wiki agree with me, but you never know. I already spelled wrong...dumbass (to myself, -1).Symantics [sic]? Why do you say that? For the record I thought that was a .45 to.
Wow boom, we're in the exact same situation - pacifist parents, friend had a gun that I shot, want one now as soon as I'm out of OCS.
Haven't shot one yet, but sig is really impressive on paper/reviews, and if you buy it new you can use the $100 off coupon for active duty on their website.

Smith and Wesson's M&P pistols have made Glock's entire line obsolete. Try them side by side, and the Glock is a clunky piece of shit. If you like holding a brick and pulling a trigger as smooth as Rosie O'Donnell's snatch, then buy a Glock.
The bottom line is shoot, shoot, shoot. Don't buy anything until you find something you like, know what it can do, and know what you really want to do with it. Find yourself a good range that has a lot of rentals, get a membership, probably a military discount, and wear our your welcome.

Glock has a military discount...$398 for the G19. That should save you a lot more than $75 over the XD.
Note that not all gun stores participate in the program, but every semi big city should have a Glock law enforcement authorized dealer. You can call them and ask where the closest one to you is.
