Looking to pick up my own XD in about two weeks. Still having an internal debate between the XD9 and XD40. Hopefully I can make up my decision soon.

Welcome! And since you asked, XD9...

Hey Nlopez, welcome to the forum. We're really glad you've decided to join us. I'm a big fan of the .40, but I have XD's in both calibers. Great choice either way. What else have you got tucked away?

This would actually be my first gun purchase. I plan on getting concealed handgun license soon after though.

Again, they're both great choices. Something to consider, IMO, you will most likely reacquire (get back on) your target more quickly with the 9mm over the 40. That said, there are PLENTY of others here, including myself at times, that carry 40's and 45's routinely.

The bottom line is, whatever you get... practice, practice, practice!

I had the opportunity to shoot a good amount of guns at a gathering a friend of mine had. I didn't the like feel of the glock 43 a little to much kick and I didn't like the size or the 6 mag capacity.
I also shot the XD40 which I really liked and was able to group all the rounds pretty consistently. I did notice a lot of time between shots though. Not sure if that was the gun or just my inexperience.
