My son & I went to a gun show today looking at handguns. Ended up coming home with a XD Mod 2 in 9 mm for him. http://www.springfield-armory.com/xd-mod-2-series/ He picked the 4" service model
Looking forward to shooting it some tomorrow. I really like this one as to fit & feel & may get one for myself later. At any rate it'll be on my short list.
