A new mini 9mm leads the list of new products from the oldest name in American firearms.The biggest news is another variation of the explosively popular XD pistol. This new gun joins the already-available XDs in full-size 4-inch and long-slide 5-inch format. It is a much smaller 9mm pistol with a 3-inch barrel and a shorter butt that accepts a 10-round magazine. This little pistol, called the XD Sub-Compact, is in the same size class as the Glock G26 and G27 guns. The handgun maker who offers an effective police service or civilian defense automatic pistol is always well advised to abbreviate the gun in length and height; the resulting firearm makes an attractive companion to the bigger gun. That’s exactly what we are looking at with the XD Sub-Compact. I had the opportunity to shoot the Springfield XD Sub-Compact at my permit to carry course. I highly recommend this for a carry option.
