Am planning on trying IDPA. Would a 4 inch XD9 with shorter length for drawing or a 5 inch XD9 with longer sight radus be better for IDPA.
Thanks, ARG
Thanks, ARG
Either is legal for IDPA. The majority, but not all, people prefer a 5" barrel.
Whichever you have, bring it.
If you haven't bought a gun yet, you might want to know that a quirk in the IDPA rules puts the XD in Enhanced Service Pistol Division. The Glocks and S&W M&Ps are among the popular pistols in Stock Service Pistol Division.

This. Also, if you haven't bought the gun, consider getting an XDm instead. The XD will do the trick, but the XDm has at least one fundemental design improvement that makes a big difference in competition shooting.
Thanks to all for the replies. I already have both a 4 inch and a 5 inch XD so I will plan on using the 5 inch to try out IDPA. If I enjoy it and get used to the shooting routine I might bring my Kimber Target 9 1911 to be more accurate. Being a senior citizen, the gun I carry and shoot the best is an HK P7 but I am told due to the butt magazine release I can't use it in IDPA.
Thanks again for all the pointers,
ARG
which is?
