I guess I’m not a fan of striker fired, plastic handguns ( gray haired old fart stuck in his ways ), but I have and shoot a S.A. range officer compact 9 ( roc 9 ) and including a bersa thunder plus .380. Both are lighter in weight than my colt .45 commander and smaller. but then that is just me.
SA makes excellent handguns, but be aware if you IWB carry in warmer climates the mag release button can corrode inside the plastic bore it’s housed in– and can stick in ‘drop’ mode which is when most people discover this condition! XDParts offers stainless replacements in standard or longer lengths just FYI. If intended for EDC I’d consider this a must-do mod for peace of mind.
I noticed that this pistol and 23 other XD and 1911 models qualify for a current promotion through October 31, 2019. 5 Total mags, mag pouch, hard case, range bag and holster.

XD is good kit. The new Hellcat 9 micro-compact series would seem to be worth looking at, unfortunately it’s not a ‘price buster’ like the rest of the XD line has a reputation for being. $$$
I own one of these and like it for concealed carry. My problem with the extended mags, and I was wondering why this wasn’t mentioned in the article, is the plastic sleeve will slide up on it, sometimes causing it not to seat. I also notice that the next round will go slightly forward in the magazine when you do your administrative load to carry one in the pipe. I’ve not had a problem, I just notice this round is slightly forward, and happens on either of the mags.
