I trying to find out what criteria i need to meet in order to purchase a XD from a private seller in CT and be able to bring the gun back to Ma. I know the transaction needs to go through an FFL but is the gun even MA compliant.

It needs to be on the EOPS List of approved handguns. THEN, SA must certify that it meets the AG's Regs. I wouldn't hold my breathe waiting for that to happen.
Then you still can't buy from a private party that isn't a resident of the same state you live in! It would have to be shipped/delivered to a MA Dealer . . . and he can't legally transfer it unless it's on the EOPS List and meets AG Regs.
I don't think that SA ever intends to submit the XD for such approvals.
The easiest way to do this is to not live in MA.

Is that true for LEO though? I thought for some reason they could buy a non approved from a dealer. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm on my first coffee for the day. Stayed up to watch game 1.
Then again, you could always just do what the criminals do and buy what you want where ever that happens to be.
Of course, then you are a criminal too, but see how easy they have it?
Why are the non-criminals so punished?
