  • XD is not better its glock xD or deagle

  • I just bought the Sub compact 9 MM and after 500 rounds I absolutley love this gun. I like how you have warmed to the XD compared to the first video you posted, where your Glock love was showing through (not that theres anything wrong with that!).

  • @hickok45 why don't you use extensions on short grips? Just wondering. Thanx!

  • i have a xd 40 and a xdm 45 both of them failed to eject and my glocks have never failed once

  • @CAMANCHE512 OMG. You have a GLOCK?!!! WOW, ive NEVVERRR Met anyody with a glock. i wont get a glock for the same reason i wont get an iThing

  • You don't need to pull the trigger to tear it down

  • @mexmiler - Yes, you do. I own this gun. After you lift the slide release lever, and release the slide back to the forward position, it locks. Pull the trigger to release it to slide it all the way forward and off.

  • @mexmiler

    How come my XD .40 SC requires you to do so?

  • The XD receives high accolades for it's simplicity and genius in design as well as ruggedness. It's been said that it was designed by a shooter and not by some college green horn engineer. It has 4 stops as apposed to 2 in many other mfr's models to stop the slide on it's rearward motion which never contacts the slide rails on the lower recvr and the polymer is top notch and very tough. It is also easy to take down farther than what is shown here. I am proud to say I own such a quality pistol

  • Must be before "Life is good". I'm getting an xd9sc today so I hoped hickok had a review... This'll do.

  • So how much of a difference is there in recoil between the XD subcompact and my full size Smith & Wesson .40 VE model?

  • I enjoy your videos. Very informative. I think some day i will see you on my television with your own show.

  • Hello Hickok45,

    I wanted to let you know that I have featured several of your videos on my website, ccwbystate (dot) com. You have some great videos, and I really appreciate everything you do. Be Safe.

  • Im waiting on you to put a pierce extension on that bad boy on your next review.

  • @MrWicked98, That might be a very long wait; I don't use extensions.

  • @hickok45 ill be purchase'n a xd 40 subcompact pretty soon,i jus submitted my license to carry firearms and im desperate to know whats the best ammunition for the xd 40 sub,i watch a LOT of ur vids and they are GREATLY well done so i figg you would be the best person to ask! pease help me out! thanks

  • 2:44 - 2:47..... Every gun runs out of bullets when you shot them? Here's your sign....

  • Not a big fan of polymer guns but the more i look at this gun more i like it.

  • i would have a hard time using that gun

  • 0 people .... wait - no dislikes? Nice.

  • My cans! My precious antique cans!

  • in america----- you no eat mexican,mexican eat you.

  • Well done

  • I just got mine!! You can't find a better gun for the money!! Enjoy!!

  • Wouldn't be my first..or second choice, but not too bad for a sub-compact. it just looks a little bulky.

  • @logancurl what would be first, and second? And why?

  • Love mine i just bought one today

  • keep up the great reviews. I have a G19 and I was looking to go to a sub compact. Looking at the G26, this XD, and S & W M & P. I might try one of these Springfields. However, I always lean towards the Glock Reliability. Thanks again, TC

  • This gun can be good, but it's the ugliest gun I've ever seen!!! "Keep up the fire!"

  • will you do the glock 33 please

  • @GigaAndy

    The XD is a Croatian pistol.........

  • I really wish they chabered that in the .357 sig

  • @hickok45 Couldn't have said it any better. American guns are the best

  • The rapid fire was quite impressive and well aimed. 

  • One thing I just noticed is that the XD subcompact has rails on which to attach things... I wish my 26 did.

  • The pringles can wasn't going

  • i dont like what guns are capable of doing but i love the way they look. How can something be so pretty but deadly?

  • last can says "hahaha you missed you missed again you missied again stupid! hah.a.... rip"

  • He really failed at shooting the last can, he should of used Steady Aim.

  • i like it....

  • Nice

  • Hey Hickok, do the XD service model magazines fit into the XD subcompact the same way the glock 22 and 23 magazines fit into the glock 27?

  • @Minatorous , Yes.

  • too small 4 me...not enough handle, i know HK can hit a bee's arse at 250 yards with it...but my lesser skills suffer greatly when i'm not able to hold the weapon in my hand. also seems to shoot a little high. if i have to fumble with something in a draw...because the handle is so small...its not going to be ideal for me.

  • Nice little gun when I get all the big boys I want this one is at the top of the list for small carry or home hiding places.

  • Another great video!!

    Looks like a nice gun!

  • exactly i dont like the running out of bullets problem either lol

  • where do you live, hickok45?

  • @MW2CPTNBONES , Middle Tennessee

  • @hickok45 Cool, Your not too far from me then. I live in Georgia. I've been up to Tennessee a few times, it's really nice up there, especially in the fall and/or spring time.

  • @logancurl what region

  • @SuperHardyfan4life Hey, sorry it took me so long to reply, i havent been checking my e-mail very much recently.. But I live in the southern part of Georgia, about 60-70 miles North of Florida. I live in a really small town called Alma, which is right next to Waycross, Ga.

  • I know it's a completely different caliber, but man I want to get a Ruger LCP. Only thing is it's pointless because they don't give ccw in my county and it would only be used/carried to the range.

  • Great video as usual Sir!

  • Say, didn't the extended mag on that gun come with a grip extension as well? Do you just not use it based on the philosophy you stated before about leaving your small finger free? How do the grip extensions feel?

  • @AluminumStud m, Yeah, it's not a small gun anymore if I put that mag in that you mention. I'm weird, I know, but I like to keep my small guns small and my big guns big. :-)

  • Hickok, imma thinking that xd is growing on you.

  • @RedWhorizen Yes I think so.

  • Cool. Just wanted to be sure so I know what I'm doing. You do great work. Your vids are very informative and you can shoot your ass off. Nice stuff.

  • check out my XD mods vid...

  • i'm looking for the smallest gun that would still drop a full size adult, and i have been interested in the Glock 27 or the XD Subcompact. What would be your recommendation?

  • as small as this gun is, could it drop a full size adult?

  • @comaman12345 The size of the gun doesn't matter as to the power of the bullet,... the amount of powder behind the bullet and the size of the bullet is what really determines whether o rnot it could take someone down. .40 is a fairly high velocity round for its caliber,... will definately drop a full sized adult no problem.

  • I've got to say I was impresed when I first seen this gun's firepower considering it's small size

  • how many videos are you going to do on this gun..i guess the more vids on one gun the more adsense dollars you can rack up for being unorigional

  • Your 'safety' practices when handling firearms is the best I've seen.

  • @Tardisius , Thanks. That's important not to mess up on. It would ruin the entire video if I were to do anything unsafe. Doesn't matter that much whether I shoot well, but any serious safety violation would kill the video,of course. Hasn't happened yet, but I could do something without thinking, mainly because the camera is running and I'm thinking about ten things at once. :-)

  • are those Talon Grips? do you like them?

  • @jcwell23  I sure do.

  • hickok? i bet you pray everyday you never have to act in that situation you know what situation im speaking of

  • @CJLongoproduction09 , Absolutely! I don't even like to step on a bug.

  • @hickok45 Hickok you seem like you have a good bond with Christ. That's the kind of vibe Im picking up i think i mite be right am I? cause im a follower myself =]

  • i already said i was mistaken. perhaps read the comments next time.

  • I think this is the gun i'd keep with me when i'm just out walking. If i'm wearing a suit, i'd always have a .44 revolver instead. don't know why, but it just seems more fitting to me.

  • its an awesome little pistol. good vid.

  • @jsh1284 Of course it is... any of these rounds would do the job.  Just remember though, shot placement is tough under extreme pressure. But really, I just threw that hypothesis out there to see what people thought. And you see my last sentence about glock 19 being the absolute best CCW gun. ...although, I do like a good .357 wheel gun too. As for 10mm, I actually like my Glock 20 the best. But that is my mountain gun, very versatile. Thanks.

  • @jsh1284 Ha Ha... Yea your right: 40mm... what was I thinking. As for the hypothesis, I just threw that out there to see what people thought about it. Of course, any of the weapons that we are talking about can do the job with placement and hot expanding rounds. But, one cannot argue with the fact that 15 rounds of 10mm in a glock 20 is versatile (through barriers, stop 4 legged predators, etc.) As for CCW, I like .357 wheel guns, glock 19, and soon I'll have a glock 27 too. Agreed.

  • Get that grip extension for that extended magazine. Gives it a better grip.

  • i always say that nobody's perfect but i think you prove me wrong hickok45

  • u seem to be a better shot when ur goin fast then slow hahah nice informal vid nice job

  • please do a SIG Review HIckok!!! I think you'll dig em!

  • I don't think that dropping your slide is bad far an automatic pistol. This is something that happens all the time when you fire it, it is natural for an automatic pistol. If dropping your slide when emty damages pistol, than shooting with live ammo, where a lot more power produced by live round moves the slide, would destroy it just after sveral rounds.

  • ANOTHER GLOCK INFLUENCED STYLE LOL

  • Hey hickok, I was wondering how the reliability of an XD stacks up to a glock?

  • We'll get you converted over to an XD fan yet!!!!

  • @Justshootinpaper Blasphamy! ;)

  • Seems like you like the xd40 sub alot hickok, I'm guessing you won't be giving it up anytime soon. I don't blame you I only had my xd40 for 4 months and I just fell in love with it. It's safe to say i'll keep for as long as it works.

  • He hates these cans!!

  • You missed two times on purpose. I know it :D So that the last bullet hits. Wow.

    Greetings from Germany

  • alright, maybe i'm mistaken. but when the mag has been emptied and the slide is locked back, pulling the slide back and letting it go (to release the slide) isn't that dropping the slide on an empty chamber? I must admit that i'm kinda new to guns and am just curious. i've heard i alot, i don't know what to believe. just a question, not saying that you do it or anything.

  • @rmordica , I tend to have fast hands and manipulate things rather quickly, especially if it's something that is second nature, such as a handgun. I probably SEEM to let the slide fall, but I'm actually letting it down, just maybe fairly quickly. The reason I'm pretty sure is that I kind of "cringe" when I see somebody totally drop a slide on an empty chamber, and I get the same feeling if I ever do it accidentally.

  • even though it has somethings that are not to your liking is it a keeper?

  • Hypothesis: A weak round (40mm) + a really short barrel = a really underpowered defensive weapon. ...compared to my Glock 29 anyway. And that little chunk is about as big as my 29 as well. Stick with Glock, nothing beats it. And I'm sure you will. Hypothesis aside, at least the 27 is small enough to carry comfortably. Probably the absolute best carry for two legged culprets is a Glock 19 with a really hot expanding round. IMHO

  • thts the problem with guns they always run outta bullets

  • great! fullauto! :D

  • you have a very nice and soothing voice.

  • i love mine only have 300 rounds through it but no problems at all.

  • Glock,XD.,...Now its M&P time !

    GJ as always

  • is it growing on you at all or is she going to get traded off?

  • whoa that rapid fire at the end actually startled me - lol

  • I agree when you say the problem with guns they always run out of bullets. Until Springfield corrects this,I will just stick with my GLOCK. I honestly believe its the hammer of Thor.

  • i notice you drop your slide's (on mulitple vids) on empty chambers. some people consider this a no-no. what's your opinion?

  • @rmordica , Don't think you see me dropping the slide on empty chambers. It's not supposed to be good for an autopistol. I let them down easily generally if there's no ammo in the gun.

  • It kind of looks like my Glock 27!

    Thumbs Up my Friend!!

  • So is the subcompact XD the one you've decided to keep and not the service model?

  • Love that gun! I like the nice polished magazines! 5/5

  • if i need something smaller than a glock 19 i would go with a kahr. XD is a nice weapon, the best weapon out of croatia that i am aware of, but still number 3 or 4 on my (personal) list of preferences.

    love your videos HK

  • XD's are great guns ... and so are Glocks, etc ... Lots of great guns out there that have been proven ... I love how some of these repliers pretend that every gun, other than there brand of choice, is just hideous ... HAHA ... It's ok to have likes and dislikes about certain gun types, brands, etc... It's just that your opinions don't necessarily make the brand any less or more than another ... All about personal choice ... Love your videos hickok' ... keep 'em coming ...

  • ive never hated another gun more in my entire life than the XD. Ill take a Glock,Sig, or M&P over this piece of crap. Good review though Hickok you are the best on youtube

  • @GlockAnimal

    What problems did you have with the XD line?

  • well done got afew friends that swear by them

  • Not bad, but I dont like the oversized controls. G 27 for me! Nice vid, ...unless you're a can.

  • OMHO, I think XD's are real ugly looking.

  • love those close ups and love those grips!

  • Glock G1911 if you ask me, your opinion mr hickok?

  • That's a nice looking little pistol.

    I'd keep it.

  • looks like its starting to grow on you lol :) I fully understand your thoughts on keeping with one brand etc. I know a lot of shooters like that. Personally I love guns way to much lol and in semi autos I love the XD.

    They have past all the tests glocks have with no issues and they feel so good lol. I do agree the trigger needs work and I still wonder why they haven't done it yet.

  • Great Gun! It looks a little bit like a Walther PPS ;) Sorry for my bad english :) Great!!!

  • Nice video

  • The XD .40 SC just wasn't the gun for me. Shot great, except for the muzzle flip. I owned and carried it for more than two years but I was offered a trade for a SIG P228 9mm.

  • Great Gun.

  • I shot Glock 27 a lot. After watching this video I went to my range and rented XD Subcompact .40 S&W. Bought 100 rounds.

    .

    Results:

    Grips, super comfortable. Recoil and muzzle flip, softer then G27. Accuracy, dead center. Sights, very good. Trigger break, crisp and predictable. Concealment, excellent. Reliability, it has 30K rounds through it and it shoots fine. Safety, with grip safety it exceeds Glock's.

    .

    It beats Glock 27 hands down, so, I decided to trade my G27 for XD Subcompact 40 S&W.

  • great vid, how do you thing this think stacks up against the glock 26?

  • @practicalshooter913 , See my G27 vs XD Subcompact

  • @hickok45 did youmiss on purpose because you never miss wtf

  • @airsoftloverusp hes not the rounds are moving so fast they go right thru without moving the can

  • That thing look funny as heck, the front looks way to chunky, and who the hell need a light rail on such a small gun. lol JMO

  • Hey, Hickok... Have you decided which one you're going to keep? The Service Model or the Compact?

  • "thats the problem with these guns...they always run out of bullets..."

    YAWP...=]

  • Nice close-up, thanks Hickok45!

  • I love that pistol, sorry you're not a bigger fan of it. I have a couple flavors of the XD series of pistol. Take care Hickok.

  • Nice Close up! ;)

    I'm great fan of ur vids! :)

    Keep making em!

  • That's certainly a nice looking compact!

  • That is a beautiful little pistol. Been thinking about getting one in .45

  • Thanks! ur awsome hickok45!
