I like Dave have just signed up for this website. My Name is Sgt Walls US Army Retired/100% disabled Veteran and I am proud to have found a site dedicated to the XD family of handguns. I have the XDs in .45acp and it is my everyday CCW carry choice. I carried a Para Ordnance Wart Hog in .45acp and after seeing, reading, and handling the XDs I knew I had found a replcement for my now weary Wart Hog. Hello to everyone and I look forward to hopefully contributing to these discussions. Thanks to all !!!!!
