[QUOTE=Dag Otto] I’m considering the Springfield XD. I’ve also shot a friend’s Steyr in .40, it was a pretty nice little gun too. [/QUOTE] I rented one at the range today. Excellent gun and very accurate. This is probably going to be my next .40 S&W ---

[QUOTE=Dag Otto] The Springfield or the Steyr? [/QUOTE] Yikes! Sorry about that. The Springfield. I shot about 100 rounds through it and about 100 though my S&W 410. The Springfield shot a much tighter group and felt better to shoot. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/looking-for-a-new-40-s-w-pistol/383115.md?page=1)
