Glad to see this thread
I also am looking to get my 14 year old son started.
But what to start him with.
I liked the XD and how it fit his hand, and thought Production.
I like the ideas of less reloading though.
Could he should an XD 9mm (15+1) in Limited?
I don't have the $$ for an STI or a Para (trying to save up for ME)
