the XD9sc has been my daily carry since March; it's a great gun-- not one ftf or mishap in close to 500 range rounds so far. $460 is a great price too.
make sure it comes with the newer 13 round flush mag and not the older 10 round flush mag... I'm assuming that for $460 you're getting the XD kit (2 mags, double mag holster, mag loader and plastic XD holster).
you might want to consider the 40sc if you like that round; with the 40sc you can purchase a 9mm barrel and switch between the two calibers; can't do that with the 9sc.
As owner and carrier of both an XD9sc and 4 " service, I could not agree more with the OPs purchase. I usually carry the sc with a 10rd mag and carry the 16rd with spacer sleeve as back up.
Does anyone have a recommended source for the 9mm barrels?
I have to say...i have owned and carried a g26 for about a year now and really like it. But I met a guy at the range the other day that had an XD and he let me put a few rounds through it and I'm strongly considering making the switch. I loved shooting that thing! Plus the added capacity option is tempting.....I'm still a glock guy for now but the time might be coming when I drink the kool-aid
