I think this looks sick:

Totally unnecessary, but still sick.

XDs are sweet and have a fantastic reputation. I was set on getting the XD9SC before I bought my G26. I rented one at the range and didn't quite like the way it felt shooting. The Glock pointed better in my hand. But the XD is still an awesome gun. I'd go check one out if I were you.

Well I did order a Tacstar 6-shell side saddle for it last night. I figure I'll go ahead and order one of the pistol grip folding stocks tonight.

The problem with the subcompacts is you don't get a full three-finger grip unless you have a pinky extension on the mag, so recoil can be more difficult to manage than you'd expect.

I only have the G26 so it's not as snappy as a .40, but even still it takes a bit of practice to get used to shooting with the short grip. But after time with it it doesn't bother me at all. My GF, though, hates shooting it without the pinky extensions.

looks like one of the mags with the xd gear is an extended mag, is this what your talking about?

Yeah that's one of the extended mags. I think they also make the pinky extensions that don't add extra rounds for the XDs.
