Beretta vs. Springfield (Subcompact Pistols)

[Stoner]

Looking to pick up a new conceal carry gun. I have been looking at the .40 Beretta SX4 subcompact with the F frame and the .40 Springfield XD Subcompact 3"; I have read the reviews on both firearms. Some of the reviews were critical of the Beretta. The reviews on the Springfield XD subcompact were pretty good overall. I have owned Beretta pistols and have always found them to be quality firearms. I have heard good things about the Springfield firearms. Does anyone have any personal experience with these firearms? I walk 5.5 miles every night around town and would feel better if I was packing something heavier then my Beretta Bobcat .22. I need something lightweight that packs a punch.

I have the Sprigfield XD40 SC and I just LOVE it! Easy to conceal, yet has a powerful punch. I feel comfortable that a .40 slug will penetrate through my car door should i need it to, and will drop the bad guys even with off-center hits. Even though it is a smaller gun, it is easy to shoot. I keep the short mag in because it conceals much better. I can always carry the extended mag in my pocket if needed. Never used the Beretta.

I also have the XD40.  Feels good, shoots good.

Check out the XDm as well. Feel even better than the XD.

Yes the XDM is nicer, but it is larger. So not as convenient for carrying.

 I to carry the XD 40 awesome little gun . With lots of knock down power . Bought two extended mags and carry mostly with the  short mag easy gun to hide. Buy one you'll love it very well built.
