Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

Hello everyone,
After a lot of research and taking advice (much of it from everyone on here and I thank you) I purchased my first handgun yesterday. I have only been shooting about 1 month so I know I have a lot to learn. I purchased a Springfielld xd 9! I am taking it out for our first range day tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone that owns or has shot this gun might have some pointers or things to watch out for. I know most of that stuff I wil find out as I shoot and get used to it but any heads up or tips appreciated. Thanks again for everyone's great knowledge and advice.

Congrats!!!! I own the XD 9 Subcompact. It is also my CCW. I love it as I'm sure you will too.

The first handgun is as memorable as the first car or the first kiss. Congrats!

Thanks everyone! I am so excited to go shoot it tomorrow I dont know if I will be able to sleep tonight. I'll take some pics of my gun tomorrow its first day out. Going to the Range in Stafford been there before and had a good experience.

Great gun! Congrats! Let me know if I can assist you with any training needs.

Full sized or Compact? The first thing I'd do with one of the Xds is to get a trigger job. And congrats on the new purchase!

You must have thought that first handgun was a lot bigger deal than I did.

Just got back from the range. Ran 200 rounds through it. No jams or misfires! It was amazing. I do think I am going to have to sacrifice my nails for shooting o well. But yeah the gun shot great!! Although I think I need to rehire someone to keep reloading my mags lol. But overall great I'll have pics up soon!

Get another couple of mags and a LULU http://www.google.com/products/catalog? ... CHMQ8wIwBw.

Thanks for the website! I had found a speed loader made by springfield and it was more expensive. And yes I was saying that as I left the range I think I want 2-3 more it came with a 13 and a 16. I like the 16 better because of the grip extension and well more bullets of course.
And to jrswanson1 It is a compact, I liked the size a little better, fits in my purse better for a Concealed.

Heres the pics! Had a great day. Just finished field stripping it, cleaning it and oiling all the parts. So there are the pics and as far as range report, went to the range in Fredericksburg, had a great time was able to walk right in and get a lane no wait!

Nice shooting!

Now you need to come out to our Defensive Handgun I class and really run that gun through its paces!!!
