Springfield XD 9mm Sub-Compact Black Essentials Package

I got this gun within a week of ordering it. Gun has never malfunctioned on me and chews up every type of ammo I put in it.

I was looking for a high-capacity CCW pistol, one that I could both practice with at the range for target practice, and one I could use in a self-defense situation. I didn't want a single stack, I needed capacity - this XD filled the bill nicely.

Never had a problem firing brass or steel-cased ammo: the pistol eats anything and fires every time. The printing was nominal, I'd recommend an Alien Gear holster personally, but whatever works - the flush mount magazine with 13 rounds was the way to carry. I'd keep the 16 round extended mag as a backup, tucked in a pocket.

My only concern was the magazine release was a little sticky at times. I'm not sure if I needed to clean or oil the magazine or mag release button, but it was a little stickier than I liked. If you have arthritis or carpal tunnel, it's not as smooth as a Glock or S&W mag release - but again, I didn't clean it so maybe that was the thing.

I did wind up selling mine so I could get the Mod 2, which was out of stock everywhere - I got the original XD 9 out of impatience, but wasn't disappointed. Felt great in my hand, pointed naturally, had no accuracy issues. Recoil was minimal. Highly recommend, great pistol.

I LOVE this pistol! Yes, it's a little fat for my liking when carrying in hot Florida summers, but it works. As far as function and performance, it's flawless. I like the XD Sub-compact line so much I have one in .40 S&W and two in 9mm. None of them have ever malfunctioned, they eat everything I feed it, the recoil is VERY manageable, and they're extremely accurate. I much prefer this model over the XDs. For the money, you'll not find a better CC pistol.

Today the first day of the test. I feel surprised. It's really a good handgun. Smooth & stable is the only way it can be described. I love this gun...

Pretty much out of the box and to the range. Tight grouping from 7.5 yards to 10.5 yards. 3 inch barrel...are you serious Zero issues, 125 rounds. Buy this gun.....

Had this for about 6 months now, probably 500+ rounds thru it. Not a single issue. The trigger is super nice. I am very happy with this purchase and SOSS. Shipping was a marathon, but these folks are swamped with orders. Extra mags rebate was also a very nice perk.

This is my carry weapon. I'm at the range every other week and haven't had an issue yet. It's accurate, great trigger pull, lots of rounds, and I love the weight on my belt.

Years ago, purchased the 9mm sub compact spring xd. This gun is fantastic. Took it out today and put a box of rem 9 mm through it. Never had an issue with this pistol. And have owned it for 7 or 8 years now, probably put over 1000 rounds though it. This has been a great purchase for me.
 Couple items I will say, if you are a lady, this might not be a great gun for you. Maybe, maybe not. The spring is pretty tight inside, so it takes a little muscle to dismantle for cleaning. Also I will say that the sights were a little easier to remove so I could put night sights on this pistol. Otherwise fantastic.

I bought this gun in 2017. I have never had any failures of any kind`;` thousands of rounds in. It was also my first online gun purchase, SOSS made it very simple.

I bought this gun in March of 2017 and I have never had a malfunction and have carried it for years! Solid gun. Can be a little heavy depending on your outfit but overall cant go wrong with this firearm.
