RE: Springfield XD or Ruger SR9???
X5 for the XD.
Stalkingbear was right about the rounds also. I do not trust a 9mm round to save my life. I do have a 9mm loaded with +P rounds(Was also informed by Remington that +P rounds are not for polymer framed pistols) in my shirt drawer just incase. But my main protection gun is a XD40 Sub Compact(3" Barrel). I also have a XD45 Compact(4" Barrel) that my dad uses for protection. You can tell by looking at mine it has been through alot. Its only about 6 months old and is scratched and dinged all over.
