I've only been shooting for a few months now and have always shot my own S&W 686 revolver. I tried a co-workers XD40 and fell in love with the feel of the thing. Went to a gun show and purchased an XDm40 last weekend and have been trying to get to shoot it since. Went to the club I belong to today and shot a little and then put 15 rounds through my new S&W 642 revolver.
My impressions of the XDm are WHAT A GUN! I love this thing. I swapped out the backstrap for the large one last night and this thing fits perfectly in my hand. The trigger pull feels nice and smooth, and the sights are setup real good. Here's a couple pictures of the targets that I shot. It was windy and a couple times they fell to the ground, so I just shot the old one that was left up from a previous shooter.
I love this gun.
This first picture was the first 6 shots that I did, and I figured I'd save the target with these 6 shots. The target was about 20 yards away. Not too far, but for me it's a good start.
Here's the target that I just finished up with. You can see some of the .38spl holes in it as well. I was shooting just a bit low but not too bad. I think I know what I was doing to make myself shoot low, and think I started to fix it towards the end. It started to drizzle a bit, so I decided it was time to get going. I'm going to need lots and lots and lots of practice.
Initial impressions of this XDm are WOW. Did I say that I love this gun??
