Xd9 subcompact experiences please
I found a like new one. Not a mod 2. It's in box with everything from the factory for 450. How are these guns overall? Any one like or did like them?
I have an XD40 subcompact, same thing as yours but in .40. I like it just fine. Seldom carry it, though. It's a bit chunky, and heavy for it's size.

I have had one as a summer carry gun for 5 years and love mine.
I've only had experience with the Mod.2 subcompact I own, but I don't think anything changed mechanically between the two models. I believe the differences were entirely in the grip (I could be mistaken, but they're at least similar).
Some describe the gun as "overbuilt" as it's fairly heavy--heavier than a Glock or M&P of comparable size. But it also feels well made. I've run about 3000 rounds through mine in the first year and have never had a jam or failure to feed. It's been rock solid reliable, and its size fills a perfect niche for me. The grip is short enough to conceal well, but still holds 13 rounds, and the overall length is quite compact so it's easy to carry AIWB without digging into my leg.
The only thing I've experienced, and recently, is extended magazines coming unseated while firing--it's a little unnerving. It's never happened on the flush fitting 13 round mag. Someone suggested using the extended mags without the grip extension sleeves, and I'll try that. I know I've rammed those suckers home when the sleeve isn't present. If I continue to experience that intermittent issue, I may need to get it back to Springfield for a checkup. I've confirmed that it's seated (I always tug the mag to make sure) and that I"m not bumping into the mag release button.

I've had my 9m XDsc for about 10 years I think. I really like it, zero issues with all kinds of ammo, shoots nice. I used my XD over any of my full size autos to take my CCW test. Even with the short barrel I shoot that gun the best. Not sure why, guess the grip agrees with me. My brother has 4 XDs of all flavors, he likes them as well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again.

I have only held the subcompact. I have shot the other sizes. I don't have anything against them other than the grip safety. I guess id prefer less weight too.

I had one, and though I liked it, it felt top heavy. Trigger felt good at the time. However in an effort to consolidate and "downsize" I sold it. Somehow 10-12 came in its place hence the quotation.
I wanted one "platform" so I chose Glock. It is the only gun I can work on myself.

If you're willing to buy online you can get a new one for cheaper than $450. In fact, I've seen them as low as $350 with free shipping over the last month or two. As of right now the rebate for 4 extra magazines with a new pistol purchase is still ongoing as well.
