XD 9 works fine for Production and I expect the XD 40 is just as good downloaded to 135-140PF, below that there may be spring problems. The XD 40&45 are usable in L10 but Limited is not really an option because of lack of mag capacity. I am not sure I see any benefits over a Glock because spare parts are not available for an XD. Trigger jobs are subjective and a Vanek trigger compares to a Canyon Creek or Springer Precision in lightness but I like the pretravel/overtravel in my Springer better. The type of bullet (lead/jacketed) may be a deciding factor as an XD has cut rifling instead of the polygonal/octogonal barrel of the Glock.

It won Production Nationals (with Robbie shooting it of course) so I think it can hold it's own. I may be a bit partial though, as I work on them every day and they fit me nicely.

With Arrendondo base pads you can get 21 in the 9mm, 15 in the .40, and 16 in the .45.

I am a Glock man to the core, but the XD series is an excellent line of pistols. Having fired the 9 and 40 offerings with the Canyon Creek trigger job, I can say that the triggers are much nicer than a stock Glocks.

Also you can get a much nicer, Production legal extended magazine release on an XD. My big thing against XDs are that you cannot purchase replacement parts. If the striker/extractor/seer in my G34 breaks, I can drop in a replacement part in seconds...with an XD, I'd have to ship it off.

I hate to say you're wrong, but ........... You are wrong, my friend. :) I don't know of a legal XD extended mag release. It has to be made by the manufacturer, and the ones I've seen are aftermarket, or modified. Also you can get a great trigger (better than the Glock) but you surely can't do it yourself.

I know, I know ............... don't call me Shirley! B)

Canyon Creek's extended mag release IS production legal. That's been confirmed here several times.

BOOYAH! Sweet vindication :D Take THAT Shirley :P

You remember when Bob was trying to explain how he removed the middle man in getting the extended mag release after the Ox match right? I don't completely agree with the legalities...but legal is legal.
