The XD's are great little pistols. I have a hard time straying from Sig Sauer as far as semi-autos go though...they stand the test every time! Cost a little more, but they are great! Either will suit folks well. I love the little Sig .380 ACP...so compact and comes with a neat little belt clip holster. Hard to beat as a carry gun, unless you want more firepower. I tend to lean toward revolvers, though. Love the S&W airweights so much I have a hard time going to anything else. JMO
