If you say so, but ya know what I still say the Sigma and Taurus are about a hair above the HiPoint in quality if that much. I'd not give any of my loved ones or friends either one of the above pistols & if they had one I'd make sure at least family would sell it as soon as possible & get a quality handgun, or at least a Glock 19.

Beretta's are way better quality than the Sigma and Taurus & the Beretta is much better quality than the XD.

Not to mention that the XD is manufactured in Karlovac Croatia and only imported by Springfield.

Actually, 7 years ago the Springfield Armory XD was in fact made and sold in America as it was imported by Springfield.

Do a little research about the HS2000, it was 1st imported in America around 1999 or 2000 if I remember right & in 2002 or early 2003 Springfield took over importing them and re named em the XD.

If America was like it was when I was a kid, the shotgun behind the door would be back in style as popular home decor. Now the kids have a fascination with guns and gangs all because mama wouldn't let them play cowboys and indians anymore. Guns scare her.

I taught all 3 of my kids how to shoot starting at about 4 years old. Expose your kids to the shooting sports when they're young or you can let one of their "friends" teach them later.

Too many Democrats, not enough guns.

At least you know know that the XD was made before you thought it was, who makes it & where and that you really could have had one prior to you're Glock 23 unlike what you thought. Oh and if the XD is so superb, why not sell the 23 and get a XD????

Oh and don't forget that the Sigma is a jam-o-mattic with lots of problems, otherwise would it not be carried by Law Dogs? Course it can't be said that the Law Dogs are breaking down Taurus doors eager to purchase them to take in harms way. I've shot a hi point that jammed less than Sigma's I've shot and as far as Taurus quality, trading one in on a Jennings would be a step up in quality

Be real, high point & jennings HA HA HA, The S & W SIGMA only problem is the heavy trigger pull, never shot a TAURUS 24/7 so I won't comment, but I've heard good things about them, yes I like autos, cause they carry more ammo, HA HA HA do I see HONDA keys ??? I would only buy an AMERICAN TRUCK !!!
