I have been considering getting my first 9mm for the last few weeks. After doing a lot of research on the different brands and models I decided on the Springfield XD Mod 2 9mm in 4" barrel (it was a toss up between 4" and 5" even after I held them both) and picked it up at my local gun store (Oregon Arms & Ammunition across from WinCo in Hillsboro). There was a delay in the approval process so they had to call me about an hour or so later when it went through. My wife tagged along to see the gun store I'd found where I was spending so much money as that was also where I had bought her S&W .380 EZ a few weeks ago.
Along with the gun I picked up 500 rounds of 9mm Remington ammunition and a couple of extra magazines (2 came with the XD). Springfield is having a promotion until the end of the year where any of the XD models will get you a free range bag and 3 magazines. I'll fill out the form online tonight and that will give me 7 magazines when I get them and a lot more shooting between reloading.
My wife and I are hoping to shoot both the XD and her EZ for the first time this Saturday on some private property that a co-worker's dad owns near Sherwood. Although it looks like any number of black 9mm semi-autos out there, I'll get some pictures of it later to post. I'll see if it lives up to all the good things I read about it and saw on YouTube.
