13+1 with the flush mag, 16+1 with the extended mag.

Congrats on the soon-to-be-yours P238.

You can save just about any image on a web page by right-clicking it and hitting Save Image As.

Thank you - won't be long (for the P238 in my hands!). I saved that picture - my nephew is a Marine and I wanted to send that to him.
And to all - thank you for the responses!

If you nave a chance to dry fire a few different models side by side you'll find the XD trigger is nowhere near as good as the M&P compact or even G-19. Get a burwell trigger job on your M&P and you won't want to shoot an XD again.

My thoughts on the XD sub....It's a great reliable solid pistol that's top heavy, has lots of muzzle flip, and a trigger with lots of creep and a long reset. The service model feels much more balanced but still has the same trigger.

It's really hard to clean up the XD trigger. Any qualified gunsmith can make the M&P's trigger a dream with step by step instructions from the net. The glock trigger can be improved in like 2 minutes by swapping parts and is still way better than the XD trigger.

I say.....get a G19. Or an M&P.

Also as a woman you might find the M&P's different sized grips and superior ergonomics fit your hand better than some of the other choices and if you dig lasers the CT lasergrips for the M&P are completely seamless with the grip and totally badass.

My edc is almost exclusively my XD9SC.

I'll be getting this in a few weeks:

I've lost a ton of weight in the last 6 months and enjoy my lean look with my shirts tucked.
So I'm looking for an IWB holster for the XD......and a pocket BUG as well!

That's only with the extended 16rd magazine. The "flush fitting" subcompact magazine is 13 rounds in 9mm.

I run mine with the 13 round magazine, fitted with the Pearce Grip Extension. It allows for a more natural shooting grip, but the shape of the extension doesn't print the way the extended magazine would. The 16rd mag essentially means you're carrying a sub-compact gun with a full-size grip.

I think the XD-m 9mm holds 20

You are correct sir. 19+1.

What one lacks in accuracy is made up by persistence.
