So, I've Decided on a Sidearm...
There's just one more question...
UPDATE : In the comments, Bishop asks:
No..Noo..NOOOOOOO!The answer is, after a fair amount of reading on this model, I had a hard time finding anyone with anything bad to say about either the Sig or the XD. Both models seem to have garnered very good reputations for accuracy and reliability. Sigs have a fine reputation, to be sure, but there's a non-trivial price differential between the Springfield XD and similar Sigs (+50%-100%). Based on a spot check of various accessories, Sig stuff seemed to be around twice as much for similar hardware. The XD is the less expensive option, but the analogy of Springfield pistols to Suzuki automobiles is completely unfair. The Sigs may very well be better guns, but twice as good?WTF are you thinking?
I have nothing against Springfield but if there is one constant in life, it is that you only buy signature products from any company: you don't get a Suzuki car, a Canon laptop or an HP digital camera.
