Greetings all, I'm new to this site and to the world of Handguns, but I'm very excited about purchasing my first weapon in the very near future.
I've only fired a number of handguns, but my exposure was enough to let me know that I love the Springfield xd. I also fired a Kimber ultra carry .45 but didn't feel as natural or comfortable as the XD45.
I've applied for my PTP and am simply waiting for our lovely State to get back up and running 100% so that Brooklyn Center can complete my background check and get me my permit. At that point, I'll be purchasing, probably through Thunder John, a Springfield XD40 subcompact. I may at some point decide conceal & carry and I'm living on a tight budget, so I figure the subcompact will save me some money in the future.
I'm looking for advice on where I can find accessories on the cheap. Ammo, extended magazines, etc.
Any advice you can bring to a new guy would be most welcome!
Thanks!
